7am up bright and early.... oww, cant move.... curse that physical trainer, im in pain, i got out of bed like im 80 yrs old. Took the dog outside, cant do stairs cuz my quads hurt from 30 squats.... ugh... ahh ha theres the purple monster in my head laughing at me and my pain.... he says he can take my pain away for 1 cigatette..... no thanks dude iv made it this far just fine.

 

11 am cooking forever it seems, made 3 complete meals because i want to eat better. And honestly it takes my mind off my pain and the purple monster in my head.

 

4pm at work now, bored the purple monster is trying to talk to me, been good about ignoring him even tho he is playing with the neurons in my brain, cuz just like me, he is bored too. Ill keep reading this book "Quit and Stay Quit" by Terry A Rustin MD.... it at least helps me pass the time and stay focused forward so i dont have to look at the purple monster.

 

11pm. Ugh i hate this... went out with my boyfriend and a few of his friends.... was fine until he went to join them to have a cigarette.... i was mad, hurt, and disappointed because he was supposed to have been quit for a few weeks at this point... i went outside and was going to join in, i took the cigatette someone handed me took 2 puffs and thought, this doent help me, im not getting bavk at him more then im throwing away my quit.... i handed my boyfriend the cigarette and went back into the bar.... i waited a little bit but gouldnt get over my frustration sovi glosed out my bar tab and left.... i csme home and im in bed now, im disappointed my boyfriend has not texted me back.... since i left the bar almost 2 hrs ago iv texted him a damn book explaining how i felt. Guess i just go to bed angry, confused, and maybe a little jealous.

I'm sorry your boyfriend is not being more sensitive to your fragile quit situation but your quit is for YOU, not him or anyone else. You alone are accountable for how your quit turns out. You alone took that cigarette, put it in your mouth lit it on fire and took 2 puffs. No one else made you do that. You know that you can't take even one puff without putting yourself right back to the start of your quit. So now you need to start over again. What will you do differently the next time a similar situation arises? You need to have a plan or you will end up with the same result.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but it's reality. You had studied this addiction well and had planned your quit well and done all the things you needed to do in the first 2 days or so. Now you have had a major setback - yes, 2 even 1 puff is a major setback. How will you deal with that? I sincerely hope you find it within yourself to make a new and even stronger commitment to quit. Quit for YOU! You deserve a healthier, happier life!

 

I understand relationships in life are important too, of course they are but so is your health and your future health. I really hope you do not end up feeling you have to choose between the two. Maybe you can talk with your boyfriend once things settle down a little. Let him know how important quitting is to you. If he truly loves and respects you, he will do whatever he has to in support of you. I wish you well Kellemae . I know you can quit permanently if you make it the top priority in your life :)

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
