7. Write down what feelings lead you to reaching for a fag

8. Visualise yourself in same places, at same time, with same people and with same feelings without smoking.

9. In your imagination, what do you do, say, think and feel? Play out a scene in your head. For instance, someone offers you a smoke. How do you feel? What do you say?

10. Consider abstaining from alcohol while you're quitting smoking. Lots of people relapse while taking a drink

How to find a doctor? There’s no magical route to finding right doctor. If you have a primary care physician just call him or her and make an appointment. If you don’t have a primary care physician, try route suggested above. Or, if you feel you need specialist care, you can save time and money by going directly to a specialist with your particular medical problem. In old days most patients would ask their primary care physician for a referral. While this is still done, more and more patients are going directly to a specialist for their medical needs.
