Day 18: May 1, 2007 and Today's Tip

It's a cool, cloudy, Tuesday. I don't have much to comment on today. I haven't experienced any cravings yet today. My evening hours have been a little easier to contend with as well now that I'm doing the 8:30 - 9:00 snack and juice routine.

By the way, I have a few days left to go on my "teeth whitening" process. I have noticed a huge change. Others have also commented on my new "smile". It's great. It's amazing how white your teeth can get.

Today's TIP: Lead us not into TEMPTATION:

I have been avoiding areas where smoking is permitted. Seeing people light up a cigarette still looks inviting but it doesn't cause me to crave or rethink my decision to quit. Avoiding people while they are smoking and staying away from areas where smoking is permitted are some of the key reasons for my current success.

Obviously there will come a day when I'll be in a situation where I will have no choice but to engage with people while they are smoking. However, if it is a choice, then I choose not to join with them.

There's no sense tempting yourself. At first you'll convince yourself that you can manage it, the next thing you know your mind is telling you otherwise. If you want to put your Nicotine Quench Plan to the test, I don't recommend leading yourself into temptation.

Having just one cigarette means you'll have to start all over again. I just couldn't stand the thought of relapsing after getting this far.

Have a plan in place and know what you will do BEFORE you find yourself in a situation like this. UNDERSTAND that this is the purpose of having a Nicotine Quench Plan.
