Getting back on track after a small slip is easier than you think. You’ve already made the tough decision to quit, so there’s no reason to take a backward step. Here are some things you can do to immediately get yourself back on track:
Remind yourself that your urge to smoke will not last forever. It will pass in a few minutes if you just wait it out. To be safe, look at your watch and check in with your craving level in 15 minutes.
Change your routine. Control your surroundings. Don’t put yourself in places where people smoke, or places where you used to go to light up.
Renew your commitment to quitting by getting support from people you trust. Tell them that you are having a tough time and ask for their help and patience.
