By the end of week two you hopefully are beginning to realize that everything you did as a smoker can be done as an ex-smoker. It’s a fact you likely didn’t believe when you first quit. The first few days you may have found yourself having to devote an inordinate amount of your time and maybe energy to sustaining your quit. Now though, you should be able to be getting on with your life and not so focused on quitting.

The following resources cover this issue. To be clear, you don’t need to spend your entire day now plowing through these materials. You could go through them slowly over time. The Relapse prevention resources listed below are good examples of materials you could slowly go through over days, weeks or even months just to keep reminding yourselves that the only thing you really need to do now to keep your quit going is to continue to stick to your personal commitment to Never Take Another Puff.
