Hi Chris

Welcome and well done on what youve managed so far , great going!

You have managed one day this is excellent however will need to be prepared for day 2 etc etc , It's a matter of educating oneself on the addiction and renewing your mind to the truth and choosing the truth. Read up on anything you can find and it will help you along the way .

Here's a hint....any thought that comes that suggests in any way, shape, or form to have a cigarette....is an attempt to get you back into those nasty ways . The possible justifications in the mind are endless. The addiction ( little monster ) is very sneaking and crafty.

There are two websites that will help in overcoming the deception that the addiction dishes out... ffsonline.org is a free online quit smoking program designed to help a person understand the reasons why you smoke. It also deals with the triggers (those built-in and programmed moments one usually lights up) of the quit. Knowing and understand these a person is able to recognize them and deal with them properly when they happen. Also the website whyquit.com is full of articles and info on the nicotine addiction which hooked us to smoking.

Take it just a day at a time. Choosing to stay free not giving in to the thoughts. Don't dwell or debate with those thoughts. Recognise the thought for what it is...a thought, a suggestion...and at the moment and instance choose to stay free. You can do this Chris as can everyone who makes the choice to stop smoking!

In the words of Stuart H...read read read!!!
