I know from personal experience that the "one cigarette" today usually ends up with my buying a pack a day or two later. That's the reason I've quit so many times. This time I'm going to visualize that one cigarette having the potential for a domino cascade. Then visualizing how happy my lungs will be if I stay smoke free.
The one thing that strikes me the hardest with a positive feeling when not smoking is not being "tethered" to that pack of smokes; actually being able to leave the house without making sure I have them with me. Then there's the feeling of having clean air around me! I found a great free resource today online I'm going to share with EmpowHer members. It's a program hosted by the Canadian Cancer Society. It will email (or text) you positive messages every day to reinforce your motivation to quit or stay off the smokes.
