For help dealing with negative people, try to remember all your reasons for quitting. Say “No!” when a smoker offers you a cigarette, avoid other smokers, go to places where smoking isn’t allowed, review your list of coping alternatives. Using Positive Feedback   Practice dealing with the negative people in a way that is positive for you. “When I told my neighbor I planned to stop smoking, she said, “Oh sure, you’ve stopped may times.” Here’s one way that smoker could respond: “Sure, I went back to smoking before. But doctors now say that I was practicing to quit. This time, I’m going to learn about my smoking, plan other things to do, and quit for good. Most quitters need to try a few times before they quit for good.” Saying “No” Saying “no” to cigarettes is one of the secrets to success. There are many ways to say it. Practice until you find the right one for you. The more you say “no,” the easier it’ll be. Nice: “Thanks, but I’d rather not. You see, I quit.” Humorous: “I’m sorry, I can’t. I’m in training for the Boston Marathon.” Visualization “See” yourself as a nonsmoker at work, at home and in social situations. Use visualization to rehearse ways of handling an upcoming social situation or any key temptation. For more detailed information, order now your complete CD Guide "Quit Smoking Today"!
