Three Tips to Get Support as You Quit
1. Surround yourself with people you trust. Think of the people you trust the most—people you can talk to about anything and who have been there for you when you needed them. They could be friends, significant others, parents, co-workers, or other family members. Whoever they are, spend more time with them. Bring friends along for your daily activities. Grab lunch with a friend, get a group together to go shopping, or meet up at a sporting event.
2. Focus on people who can help. If a friendship doesn't feel right anymore, it might be time to let it go. Don't be afraid to try a little distance with people who aren't giving you the support you need. Letting go can be hard, but it is sometimes be for the best. Focus your energy on spending time with people who make you feel good about yourself and want you to succeed.
3. Invest in your relationships. Make a point to invest time and effort to important relationships. People are more willing to provide support when they know you are there for them. You will also feel more comfortable calling on them for support if the relationship is strong. Go to that movie your friend really wants to see, even if it's not your top choice. Or go out of your way to call a friend just to chat and see how things are going.
Finally, you can also switch to a better alternative -- Starbuzz e-hoses which is healthier than traditional smoking for your health.
