QUIT FOR GOOD > OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS Stay in Control Smoking doesn't solve your problems, quitting will. Quitting is a one-step-at-a-time process. Forget about feeling guilty, learn from it and then just forget it. What if I Slip? You have not failed - you're a step ahead. The average person attempts to quit five times. Each attempt to quit should be considered a SUCCESS! What is a Slip? Slipping is when you are trying to quit but you use some tobacco (usually in a high-pressure situation), but you recover and stay quit. What is a Relapse? Relapse is the return to regular use of tobacco after being tobacco-free for a short while. Most relapses occur within the first three months after quitting. Learn From Past Experiences If you slip and smoke a cigarette, Stop Again This was a mistake, not a failure Set a new date and get back on track Remember your reasons for quitting
