You are doing a great thing in quitting @FinalAttempt I had mnay short attempts quit smoking that lasted a few days or weeks in quitting but that is torture. Once you are smoke free for a while and relapse, you go back to wishing you were smoke free again. I went through the torture of on again, off again smoking for several years. The best thing to do is to quit smoking for good. Stick around, I hope you'll find lots of support and education on this site. Lots of good people here who want to see you succeed.

Welcome to Quit Train @FinalAttempt! Since you've attempted to quit many times before and have been successful for various periods of time then relapsed. I think you need to think about all those failed attempts and ask yourself; "why could I not stay quit?" Try to avoid those same situations this time and have a plan to avoid caving in when similar situations crop up this time. The other thing to consider is to try to focus your mind on all the positives you gain from quitting rather than romancing the cigarette no matter how long you have beem quit for.. Sit down and make a list of things you consider to be positive about neing quit and keep that list handy for when the nicotine junkie inside you head starts whispering sweet nothings in your ear. Smoking has never done one positive thing for you ... NOT ONE! Stick around and read some past posts. We are all exactly like you and you are going through the same thing we all have gone through so there's no judging here - we all 'get it'! In the section "Quit Smoking Discussions" the first 8 or 10 threads have a green push-pin shown in the thread title. Read through all those ... knowledge is power! There's even a games section if you need some mindless distraction. Maybe view some of the Quit Smoking Videos in the "Joel Spitzer's Quit Smoking Video Library" thread. There's lots of info on the site to help you navigate your quit. Stick around @FinalAttempt! You'll be glad you did

My first advice is always to start reading about quitting and nicotine addiction. Knowledge is power. You've quit before so you know it is rough at the beginning, but gets better as time passes. We are here for you and want you to succeed. You have made a great decision, stick to it.

I just had my last smoke and I decided that I really want to kick this addict once and for all, instead of going out to refill, I jumped into my browser to search and found this forum. I hope by joining and staying on this forum will help me kick this nasty addiction for good. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been a nicotine addict junkie for over 4 decades. I've tried to quit probably a hundred times, and I kept failing one time after another, most attempts lasted 2-6 months, the longest was about a year. I always found something to blame on, like stress, sad, angry, etc. I know they were all just pathetic accuses but I guess that's how it usually goes for relapsed smokers. In the past I would have decided that now is not a good time to quit because I recently lost my job due to company shutdown, it's been stressful as the job market is not very good; furthermore I've been having some marital issues. But I also know that no time is a good time for a junkie, so I decided it's time to break away from all those excuses. Hopefully I can get support, valuable advises and encouragements from all of you here who have been quitting successfully. Thanks for reading.

NOPE!!
