This article will show you a very simple real case that happens to a friend who is in the process of quitting.
So this woman, let's call her Angie, went to a dinner with a so called friend who happens to be a smoker.
Her friend knew that she was on day two.
However, Angie had a very stressful day the day before with issues other than smoking.
Angie's friend said that it was probably a very bad time to not be smoking and he talked her into having a cigarette.
Anyway, she ended up having several cigarettes and had to restart her process again.
She was sad and at the same time upset too.
Do any of you have similar experience like this? Doing the process requires passion and dedication.
You need to keep starting over until it sticks.
Sometimes, you just cannot do it alone.
Therefore, you need supports from friends, family or a group who have same condition and mission with you.
They will back you up and always motivate you.
There is a good suggestion that you can do.
Every time a "thought" intrudes, with elbows still at one's sides, extend the arms out to the front, turn over the hands and expose palms upward for a moment.
Or rest the hands in one's lap with the palms up.
Hold for several seconds quietly.
Do it and feel how it benefits you to complete steps to quit smoking.
