How to Quit Smoking

If You Slip

If you slip up, it’s okay! Instead of giving up, think about why you started and learn from your mistakes. Create a new plan that eliminates the trigger that hooked you, and know the difference between a slip up and a relapse. Smoking one cigarette doesn’t mean you can’t start where you left off. Instead of letting a slip up become an excuse to fall back into your old habits, let it motivate you! If you do relapse, don’t lose heart. Just think of it as a setback. Find the triggers and trouble spots that caused you to relapse, and start again!
