That might be waking up, closing your laptop, or finishing dinner. It doesn&#x27;t have to look like anyone else&#x27;s evening.<\/p>\n<p>When it arrives, go to the place you prepared and spend ten minutes there. If you never opened the preparation email, here&#x27;s the whole plan: move somewhere else and start something quiet you can do there. A page, a song, dinner. Pick one and begin.<\/p>\n<p>The urge may come with you. Moving doesn&#x27;t promise to remove it; it gives you a way through that first stretch while doing something you chose earlier. Today&#x27;s intention is still not to smoke. The ten minutes help you hold that intention. They aren&#x27;t a reminder to put it to another vote.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, carry on with what you&#x27;re doing if it&#x27;s helping. If you&#x27;re still about to smoke, put your supplies out of reach if it&#x27;s safe, and ask for company: \u201cCould you talk with me for a bit?\u201d You don&#x27;t have to explain the whole month. If nobody&#x27;s available, you can leave that scene for somewhere safe. You can also write to me during the published support hours to prepare another option.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&#x27;ve already smoked, you can still take care of the next part of the day. Put what&#x27;s left away if it&#x27;s safe, and decide where you&#x27;ll spend the next stretch.
