Helpful Tips To Improve Your Success |
| |
| 1. |
You can take up to 4 BREAK FREE gelcaps per day to alleviate your cravings for nicotine. It is suggested that you start with 1 pill 3 times per day. Continue taking BREAK FREE for about 2 weeks after you quit, until your natural supply of Acetylcholine has been replenished and cravings do not return . Results may vary. Rule of thumb is about a bottle per pack-a-day habit. |
| 2. |
Many times when you think you need a cigarette, you simply need to breathe. Practice taking deep breathes and holding for a few seconds. Tell yourself that you're going to wait 5 minutes. You'll find that once you get over the initial behavior urge, it can be 20 - 40 minutes before you think of it again. |
| 3. |
Keep a positive attitude about yourself and your effort to quit tobacco usage. |
