Congratulations! Beating nicotine addiction is a huge accomplishment. But you know it\u2019s only half the battle. Now you have to keep it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no magic formula that will ensure you stay smoke-free. It\u2019s about choosing your new lifestyle every day, and leaning on the strategies that helped you quit in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-2\">Remember Your Reasons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you quit, you may have made a list of why you wanted to, and how it would make your life better. If not, do it now. Keep the list handy and read it often to stay motivated. <strong>DID YOU KNOW?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might have to use nicotine replacement (patches, gum, lozenges) for 6 months or more to get past the cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-3\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">List Your Gains<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do to improve your health. Write down the ways your body is benefitting. Your list may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Better breathing<\/li><li>Less chance for heart disease, stroke, many kinds of cancer, and diabetes<\/li><li>Lower cholesterol<\/li><li>Stronger bones<\/li><li>Better sex life<\/li><li>Younger-looking skin<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you really want to give up the gains you worked so hard for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-4\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch Those Triggers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you quit last month or 5 years ago, you\u2019ll still have times when you want to reach for a cigarette. Know what triggers your urge to smoke and be ready to handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Avoid temptation.<\/strong>&nbsp;Get rid of ash trays, lighters, and any hidden cigarettes. Clean the smell out of your house, clothes, and car. Stay out of places where you used to smoke.<\/li><li><strong>Embrace new routines.<\/strong>&nbsp;Patterns that were tied to smoking need to change. For example, if you used to have a cigarette after dinner, take a walk or brush your teeth instead.<\/li><li><strong>Manage stress.<\/strong>&nbsp;Take care of yourself to lower your stress levels. Get enough sleep and eat well. When you get anxious, try physical activity or deep breathing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manage Cravings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As time goes by, you\u2019ll feel the need for nicotine less and less. Keep a list of what\u2019s helped you resist cravings. It may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Distractions.<\/strong>&nbsp;Call a friend or take a walk. Go somewhere smoking isn\u2019t allowed until the craving passes.<\/li><li><strong>Substitutes.<\/strong>&nbsp;Chew on gum or carrot sticks to keep your mouth busy. Squeeze a ball, click a pen, or play a game on your phone to occupy your hands.<\/li><li><strong>Exercise.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Nicotine replacement medicines.<\/strong>&nbsp;Products like patches, gum, and lozenges can satisfy your desire for nicotine more safely than cigarettes. You may need to take them for 6 months or more to get past the cravings.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-6\">Tap Your Support Network<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same people who wanted to help you quit will also want to help keep you a nonsmoker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Let friends and family members know if you\u2019re struggling. They can encourage you and distract you from cravings.<\/li><li>Ask friends who smoke not to do it around you, and never to offer you a cigarette. You may have to distance yourself from people who can\u2019t support you. \u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-7\">Stay Positive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giving up smoking is a lifelong process, but you only have to handle one day at a time. Believe that you can do it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Celebrate your success, and reward yourself when you reach a milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you slip up and have a cigarette, don\u2019t beat yourself up. It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll go back to being a full-time smoker. Most people have to try many times before they quit for good. Figure out what went wrong, and recommit as quickly as possible to a smoke-free life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Originally published at WebMD<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By&nbsp;Stephanie Langmaid You\u2019re officially a former smoker.
