Staying quit for good can be easier if you think of yourself as a "nonsmoker," instead of an "ex-smoker."
What's the difference?
Ex-smokers see themselves as smokers who are just not smoking today. Smoking is an option that they try to avoid each day.
Nonsmokers make a decision once and for all that smoking is not an option. They may feel an urge to smoke now and then, but they do not let themselves smoke for any reason.
Even though you're doing the things nonsmokers do, you may not feel like a nonsmoker right away-it can take a while before you can see yourself that way.
