Stopping smoking is a process, and many
people slip along the way. There is no magic formula to help you stay on your
plan. Sticking to your plan - no matter what - is hard because your urge to
smoke will try to overpower your will to stop.
Be prepared to slip. Nicotine is so
addictive that just one puff of a cigarette may turn you back into a smoker.
Try not to let this happen, but don't be discouraged if it does.
Use your ZYBAN® Net booklet
to write down what caused you to slip and how you will handle the situation
next time. Remind yourself of your reasons for wanting to stop smoking,
acknowledge the steps you have accomplished, forgive yourself for slipping, and
get right back on track.
Remember, most people make several
attempts to stop smoking before they meet their goal. Slips are part of the
process. With each attempt, you will learn more about yourself and what you can
do to overcome the urge to smoke next time.
Keep reminding yourself of your reasons
for wanting to stop smoking. You can do it!
