How to deal with Negative Thoughts

Positive thinking is the mainstay to successful smoking cessation.

It will be normal to have negative thoughts during the quitting process.

If you begin to think that quitting is too difficult, just think of the millions of people that have successfully quit.

If you begin to think that quitting is just not worth the trouble, think of the benefits of quitting, and tell yourself how much healthier you will be.

If you begin to feel that you need a cigarette to help calm you down, or deal with a stressful situation, realize that cigarettes are not the answer-they are just covering up the things that bother you, and that instead of a cigarette you need to learn how to deal better with stress.

If you’ve tried to quit before and failed, and think you don’t have the willpower, tell yourself it's going to be different this time - you have a good program.
