After Quitting



From Terry Martin, your Guide to Smoking Cessation

Junkie thinking is a term used to describe the counter-productive thoughts (junk) that our minds conjure up when recovering from addiction. It goes into full swing early on in cessation, and if we're not careful, can talk us right back into lighting up.

Use the resources in this week's newsletter to bolster your resolve and defeat the thoughts that do you no good.  It's normal to have them, but if allowed to fester, they could be your undoing.

Have a grateful week everyone, and remember that cessation is worth all of the work it takes to achieve.
