Worried about falling off the smoke-free waka during the busy festive season?
We know how hard it is to remain smoke free, especially during times of celebration. It is easy for old habits to creep in because we can be so busy trying to get everything done that we forget to concentrate on what we need to do for ourselves.
With that in mind, heading into the festive season, here are some tips from our Southern Stop Smoking Service team:
Remember the secret to breaking any habit is to love something greater than the habit
Put a plan in place
Stay focused on the end goal
Use Nicotine Replacement Therapy Products (if necessary)
Go for walks with your drink bottle
Talk to somebody – phone a friend.
