  6. This statement is concerning to me. You have been here for well over a year and have just figured this out now? How many posts about people relapsing have you read here? It's ALWAYS the same story - 1 cigarette, even one puff, awakens your addiction again and makes you crave more cigarettes. It's the reason for NOPE. You know, that thing we pledge to ourselves every day. Knowledge is power when you;re quitting. Read more of the posts people have made here Pots and research as much other material as you can about nicotine addiction. I really hope you can stay focused this time and that you have learned a valuable lesson about why NOPE is so critical to everyone's quit!

  10. Welcome @Travis Trapani, glad to have another quitter on board our train I found that having a group of people really helped in knowing I wasn't alone in my battle to conquer this addiction. No one knows better what we go through than us Drink lots of water or juice, have sweets on hand, I craved soft peppermint puffs for the whole first year of my quit so you may find you have a craving for sweets. Listen to your body. It knows what it needs to get you to freedom

  16. Welcome Travis. I would introduce yourself in the introduction area. There is lots of information about the addiction of smoking and I would start educating yourself. We are here to help you succeed in quitting. We all have been smokers. Stay close to the forum as you start your journey to quit and take the NOPE pledge (NOT ONE PUFF EVER) every day. I found that really helped solidify my quit. There are many games to help keep you mind busy while you learn to fight those craves.

  17. Thanks for all the replies , This is very weird , after months of suppressing and controlling it , all it takes is just one cigarette to again feel dependent on it . Just one cigarette makes you want to smoke more cigarettes . I have been stuck behind this computer following a distance education university course for the past 3 years now . The only good thing is the course will end in one more month . But this sitting , staring and studying for the past 3 years has made my overall health bad . OK , Not extending the quit date to 9/13/2019 . Doing it today itself . 9/11/2019 11:32 AM

  24. Hey Pots, I'm glad your kid is ok. Every time I hear a post from someone who relapses and says that they "had to smoke because..." I can't help but think of Cristobal's post that Sazerac shared, Your Quit and Your Life - The Proper Sequence A successful quitter realizes that they cannot smoke ever, no matter what life throws at them. Relapsing and smoking a cigarette is a conscious decision. No life event made the person light up. The person decided to light up and relapse on their own. A successful quitter must never allow a person or event influence them into lighting up again. In order to successfully quit, you must never take another puff. Yes, take it one day and one moment at a time but the ups and downs of life (which will always be there) cannot influence your quit. You must be serious about this and realize the only thing that can make you smoke is yourself. I agree with the other posters too. Why wait? There is no better time than now. You keep torturing yourself with all of these relapses. Start back now. Commit to never taking another puff and reach out to this board anytime you feel tempted. We all want to see you succeed but you are the one who has to make the commitment.

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.
