Match a Trigger to a Distraction or Two
The other day I asked a friend at work who had quit smoking 3 � years ago, �do you think about smoking anymore?� The question was a big surprise to him and caught him off guard. In his eyes I could see that he was soul searching, thinking back, back, and then after several seconds which seemed to be an eternity, he simply answered, �no�.
My quit time frame has been much shorter than my friend�s. Nevertheless, smoking thoughts do fade away, and you can begin or continue to dismiss them immediately in your quit. Match a trigger to a distraction or two. You will see what I am talking about if you haven�t already experience it for yourself.
The longer you stay away from smoking the easier it becomes. Soon to find yourself like my friend who has learned to live a new reality. Smoking is something you can truly live without; the norm is not to smoke.
