Stressed out

I don’t know if I can handle the stress without a cigarette.

I knew stress could be a problem but I’ve planned for it.

I’ve lost something that helped me relax.

I feel like I’ve been caught off guard. I don’t do well with unexpected stress.

I don’t need to rely on smoking anymore. I feel free.

Plan ahead for how to deal with stressful situations.

Remember my reasons for quitting.

Slow down and take deep breaths.

Do something active like going for a walk or run.

Listen to music to calm myself down.

Remind myself that the cravings will go away in a few minutes.
