How to Quit

After Quitting



From Terry Martin, your Guide to Smoking Cessation

It's hard to go through, but smoking relapse is a part of the process for most people when recovering from nicotine addiction.  The important thing is to learn from what went wrong and apply that knowledge when you quit again.

This week we have a new contribution from Andrea, who at 10 months smoke-free looked back with clarity on the lessons relapse taught her. 

Have a great week, all.  Make it count.

Defeating Old Triggers at 10 Months Smoke-Free
At 10 months smoke-free, Andrea's account is a valuable lesson in how to get out of the rut that keeps us making the same mistakes, and in doing that, how to finally start to find solid ground with smoking cessation.

Why Do People Relapse Years After Quitting?
The key to lasting freedom from this addiction lies in changing your relationship to smoking. If you quit smoking by sheer will power, believing somewhere in the back of your mind that you're sacrificing something good, chances are very high that you'll eventually relapse.

This is How Relapse Happens - C's Story

"C"  learned the lesson of where smoking just one cigarette leads us once we've quit. Anyone who has suffered a smoking relapse will identify with her poignant account.

Knowledge is power, folks. Learning from our missteps along the way helps us succeed in the long run.


Don't Listen to Junkie Thoughts That Tell You to Smoke
Nicotine withdrawal puts unhealthy thoughts of smoking into our minds, but with knowledge of what to expect, you can beat junkie thinking down.
