Your guide to quitting ? Substituting the need


12 godina 0 11226 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Many quitters have found they can replace their need or cravings with a healthy substitute. We’ve surveyed successful quitters and it seems that they’ve found three main groups of substitutes that help them get through peak times of withdrawal.
 
We’ve tried to put them together for you on this page, so write down which specific substitutes might work for you.
 
Find Other Ways to Cope with Stress
Learning how to relax is a great substitute. Also, we all know that quitting can be stressful. If you organize a coping plan ahead of time, periods of stress may be less intense for you.
If you smoke for the following reasons, a stress coping plan may be right for you:
•    I smoke when I feel stress, and I’ll miss taking a break or time-out with smoking.
•    I’m very addicted to smoking and I’ll miss its effects on my body.
•    Smoking is part of my regular routine and I’ll miss it at my usual times.

How have you been dealing with stress?
