I Tried - I Really Tried

Don't be discouraged if you start smoking again. Remember, most people try several times before they finally stop smoking. Identify what it was that triggered your desire to smoke again and come up with an alternative way to cope with the trigger.

Don’t beat yourself up for one cigarette.  Don’t even beat yourself up for a few cigarettes.  You’re only human.  You can only do so much.  Sometimes the power of the drug is just too much to resist.

Forgive yourself for the relapse and get right back up on the wagon.  Read the suggestions in this book and start over again.  People make mistakes.  It happens.  Don’t let it get you down.

Just because you have smoked one or two or ten or a whole pack, you haven’t become a smoker again.  You’ve just relapsed.  Now you can begin again.

Have we made ourselves clear?  Don’t beat yourself up.  Forgive yourself.  Start over again.  It’s really that simple.

There are many tools out there to help you stop smoking.  Many, many people use artificial means to help them stop smoking.  Some people are completely against this, others have said they wouldn’t have done it any other way.
