Welcome @FinalAttempt!! The train is the place to be for knowledge, support and encouragement! You are now going through a tough time but you know from previous quits there is light at the end of the tunnel. You also known how previous quits ended: by taking a puff. Read everything about the addiction to nicotine. Take it step by step, every day, hour or minute. As the improvement is going slow, I found it helpful to keep notes of my quit. The first days I was writing a lot, almost every hour. Then less and less as life goes on. But it is good to read it back when you are having a difficult moment and see that it is just that: a difficult moment, not a difficult day! Quitting in a stressful period might be a risk but can also be good to experience stress without smoking and to notice that smoking does not solve anything. Let us know how you are doing.

NOPE

Astrid *I have to say this: There was a young woman who was a receptionist in a doctor's office that I went to, and when I heard her name was Astrid, I fell in love with it! I thought it was sooo beautiful and I had never heard it before, so this is a top favorite of mine!

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.
