Jenny has been addicted to cigarettes since last summer. She is triggered by a bad morning and starts craving Cigarettes and thinking that if she uses them, anxiety will go away. She can’t stop thinking about how good she will feel when she gets the cigarettes, and she pulls them out of her purse at lunch as part of her ritual, without even thinking about it. She uses by smoking a cigarette, but when the feeling wears off, she feels guilty, like she is a failure or giving into the addiction again. The next day, she decides to call a friend to talk about her anxiety when she starts thinking about the cigarettes. She then chooses not to use them. This breaks the cycle.
Describe how Jenny exhibited each step of the addiction cycle, including how she broke the addiction cycle.
