I need a break

I need a break
  • If I were Nick, how would I feel about telling my boss and fellow workers that I’ve quit smoking?
    • I’m nervous about how they’ll react.
    • I don’t want to look stupid if I need to try quitting more than once.
    • I don’t want the crew to make fun of me.
    • I know they’ll support my decision because they know how hard it is.
    • It’s not a problem. I’ve made my decision and it’s for the right reason.
    • It’s my life not theirs and I want to be fit and healthy.
  • If I were Nick, what could I do at work to avoid temptation?
    • Tell my buddies before my quit date so they know not to ask me for a smoke.
    • Take breaks in a new location with buddies who don’t smoke.
    • Take breaks with my buddies but chew gum, spit sunflower seeds, or drink from a water bottle while my buddies are smoking.
    • Go for quick walking breaks.
    • Make a firm commitment to myself that I won’t smoke during breaks.
    • Keep telling myself that I don’t smoke anymore.
