One Day At A Time, really pay attention to that concept. It is vital not to look ahead but to work through the "here and now". The important thing is, not taking that first puff, today! Guaranteed freedom - Never Take Another Puff.

Yes you can! No crave episode is longer than 3 minutes but time distortion is a very real recovery symptom and the minutes can seem like hours so be sure and look at a clock.

You are much stronger than a crave. It lasts only a moment or 2. Soon they will rarely happen. Hang in there!

It will get easier to resist craves. No matter how long you've smoked, if you have the will, it is possible to quit.

It makes no difference how long we've smoked or how old we are, all we have to do is to remember not to take another puff and we are on our way to healing.

In 7 years I've gone from hardly breathing to running 4 miles each day. At 66 I feel and look better than I did 10 years ago. And I did it by taking baby steps, sometimes one minute at a time. I am humbled with gratitude.

BREATHE! Whenever you feel challenged, take some nice, deep, lung-filling, belly-expanding breaths...let them go slowly, with your eyes closed, and tell yourself what you need to hear at that moment. It'll pass. Move on.

I imagined a nicotine dragon in my head. Every puff I didn't take made him weaker until he finally went into permanent hibernation. As long as I never take another puff, I'm safe from the dragon.

We ALL have doubts about our abilities. Luckily for us our doubts are usually never based on reality. The reality is that as doubtful as you are you will NEVER know if you can succeed unless you give it a try and give it your all.
