Becoming a non-smoker checklist

  I have changed my routine to suit my new smokefree life, with new hobbies, new rewards or comforts, and new ways to enjoy life.

  I am exploring new ways to manage stress, such as discussing problems or feelings with others, not taking on too much work, and looking after my body.

  I am finding new ways to relax, such as massage, deep breathing, and making time to relax my mind and body.

  I will cope with cravings that happen ‘out of the blue', and know that I am still succeeding at quitting.

  I will prepare myself carefully before I return to risky places, people or activities.

  I am planning how to cope with stressful situations. If I get stressed, I will take time to think before I react, and remind myself of other ways to cope. I will ring the Quitline 13 7848 if I think I need more support or ideas.

  I will take action if weight gain is really a problem. I will be kind to myself if I put on a few kilos.

  I will appreciate the benefits of being a non-smoker and give myself credit for what I've achieved.

  I am a non-smoker now!
