Description
The holidays are the hardest time of year to stay smoke-free. Parties, drinks, family, long drives and late nights all bring the urge back, often on the same evening. This book gives you a plan for every one of those moments, from Thanksgiving to the first week of January.
Inside you’ll find:
- Why the holidays stack your hardest moments on top of each other
- A simple quit-day plan, if you haven’t quit yet
- What to say when someone offers you one, and how to handle the drinks
- Living with a smoker: the words for the conversation, and a plan for the rest
- A short fuse, an empty chair, a bad night: help for the hard moments
- What to do if you slip, without waiting until January
- Five “Open When…” pages for the moment itself
- Worksheets, a 31-day December tracker, a gift page and a certificate
Written from twenty-five years in pulmonary care and my work as a certified quit coach. Every research figure comes from a published source, listed at the back.
For practitioners: a book your client can keep, rather than a handout that gets lost. It pairs well with The Eight-Day Bridge in the free worksheet library.
