Once the decision has been made to
permanently stop smoking

Congratulations!

Now you are ready to develop a new habit–not smoking. Like any other habit, it takes time to become a part of you; unlike most other habits, though, not smoking will take some conscious effort and practice. This section of the booklet can be a big help. You will find many techniques to use for developing the nonsmoking habit and holding on to it.

By reading this section of the booklet carefully and reviewing it often, you'll become more aware of the places and situations that prompt the desire for a cigarette. You will also learn about many nonsmoking ways to deal with the urge to smoke. These are called coping skills. Finally, you will learn what to do in case you do slip and give in to the smoking urge.

Keep Your Guard Up

The key to living as a nonsmoker is to avoid letting your urges or cravings for a cigarette lead you to smoke. Don't kid yourself–although you have made a commitment not to smoke, you will sometimes be tempted. But instead of giving in to the urge, you can use it as a learning experience.

First, remind yourself that you have quit and you are a nonsmoker. Then look closely at your urge to smoke and ask yourself:
  • Where was I when I got the urge?

  • What was I doing at the time?

  • Whom was I with?

  • What was I thinking?

The urge to smoke after you've quit often hits at predictable times. The trick is to anticipate those times and find ways to cope with them–without smoking. Naturally, it won't be easy at first. In fact, you may continue to want a cigarette at times. But remember, even if you slip, it doesn't mean an end to the nonsmoking you. It does mean that you should try to identify what triggered your slip, strengthen your commitment to quitting, and try again.

Look at the following list of typical triggers. Does any of them ring a bell with you? Check off those that might trigger and urge to smoke, and add any others you can think of:
  • Working under pressure

  • Feeling blue

  • Talking on the telephone

  • Having a drink

  • Watching television

  • Driving your car

  • Finishing a meal

  • Playing cards

  • Drinking coffee

  • Watching someone else smoke
If you are like many new nonsmokers, the most difficult place to resist the urge to smoke is the most familiar: home. The activities most closely associated with smoking urges are eating, partying, and drinking. And, not surprisingly, most urges occur when a smoker is present.

For Keeps Poem - Naturally Healing Route

For keeps, for keeps, that's why we've arrived, to quit smoking for keeps.
All we hope to achieve, by keeping that pack stashed up the sleeve,
can too easily disappear, because cancer causes people to greave.
For keeps, for keeps, doing it all without much of a peep,
For keeps, for keeps, we want to quit smoking,
leaving them behind in an unwanted heap.

Both the Naturally Healing Route and Avenue of Apt Shortcuts applaud you for making this effort to quit for keeps.
Even if you struggle with quitting for keeps, you are moving forwards toward that goal, and steps are steps.
Even if or when you fall back a bit, the fallback cannot erase the step forward you successfully took.
EVERY step forward is a notch, a step, and it's foolish to forget that they do add up to larger sum.
The sum of your efforts is the total of all the smaller steps, such as we take in quitting for keeps.
You are applauded and lauded by the Naturally Healing Route and Avenue of Apt Shortcuts .
