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.
