All Activity

We’ve all been there @Pilgrim. Your seat on the train is ready to welcome you back any time. There is not one thing that smoking makes better. It does not resolve conflict, bring back people we’re mourning, heal broken bodies/souls, or alleviate stress. It does not soothe a troubled mind, make us financially secure, or anything else. The only thing smoking accomplishes is to intensify the bottomless need for our next nicotine fix. A need that we can never gratify. Because 1 is too many and 1000 is not nearly enough. That is the wretched irony of addiction. But it doesn’t need to be that way. Come back soon. You CAN do this!

Congratulations on your 5 month quit! Keep up the good work. Best wishes.

Please don't wait, Pilgrim: it's easy to keep delaying a quit because it doesn't feel like the right time or you don't feel as positive or confident as you think you should be. In fact, waiting for the ideal time can be a powerful form of denial--by waiting and planning and thinking, you can trick yourself into thinking that you're actually making progress. You're not. The only way to make progress is by refraining from smoking, even--perhaps especially--if you're feeling like crap. Lots of quitters say that having a positive attitude helps or is even essential to a successful quit. These perspectives have merit and definitely work for many people; however, you don't need that in order to create your lifetime quit. I was pretty miserable for awhile, ultimately trusting that I could quit myself into certainty, confidence, and happiness. That path is also available to you. You can do it, friend, and it will transform your life-- Christian99 23 1/2 Years Quit

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I hear you! I'll keep you posted and hopefully be back very soon to announce that I've quit once again.

One day, hopefully soon, you’ll come to see that smoking actually adds stress rather than relieves it. It’s hard to sit through a movie when you’re thinking “How much longer before I can rush out and light up?” It sucks when you can’t enjoy a nice meal out on the town with friends because you’re so fidgety to feed your addiction. It takes time to get to the point where you don’t obsess about smoking and think of it as a reward, but when you finally clear that hurdle you’ll feel more free and unburdened than you’ve ever felt before.

Hello @Pilgrim, Not to beat a dead horse, but you can not white knuckle your way to a successful quit. If you try again, it needs to be a positive thing. Your quit needs to be wanted and loved, cherished above all else; Especially the first year. We do not give babies a cigarette when they are crying...we tend to their needs, figure out the real problem and fix it. It is the same with quitting smoking. Next time, just eat some chocolate
