The Fifth Day
This is it, the last day in the quitting program. You still yearn for a cigarette? Still 
angry, nervous, too tense? Doubtfully. Even if this is how you feel - it is much less 
than your feeling in the last four days. Remember the first day? Lots of things have 
changed since, right? In the first day you doubted your ability to quit smoking, and 
you even thought that you’ll give up in the first crisis. Now things have changed. You 
might still face the temptation of smoking a cigarette, however now you can confront 
this temptation with confidence and strength. You know you can stop - that is, you’ve 
overcame the biggest difficulty.
Will it be easy for you from now since? Will it be really a great relief? It will take 
some more time, few weeks, few months, until you’ll be completely immune from the 
temptation of smoking. However from now on the struggle will be much easier, cause now 
you see yourself as an ex-smoker. From now on you won’t be looking for another 
cigarette automatically and you won’t miss anyone of the 20 cigarettes or more, you’ve 
previously smoked in a day.
