Pilgrim Somewhere in your mind your not understanding the Law of Addiction All the information we have it hasn’t gelled. You still believe in the cigarette and it’s lies Have you read The easy way by Allen Carr it has helped millions to quit , me included. You reminded me of the little mouse on his wheel, never getting off You have to jump off and stay off Throw out all the cigs , vapes lighters etc We have a SOS . you didn’t use that Quitting takes you fully committed You can do it …I know you can , cos I did it

Sorry to hear you relapsed @Pilgrim As you've pointed out, this addiction is strong and requires the utmost, unwavering commitment to leave it behind. I worry you haven't seemed to be able to reach this level of commitment and are still, somewhere in the back of your mind, romancing the cigarette (& vape) and only putting a toe into the water of quitting. The reason I say this is that you aren't willing to just destroy those cigs & the vape. You want to use it up before starting another quit. You MUST jump into your quit fully ... no matter what comes at you. It's the only way any of us can be successful. These rules don't just apply to you, they apply across the board ... to ALL of us. All of us here on the Quit Train want you to reach your goal of being smoke free for life but the primary ingredient to success is within you and you MUST find a way to bring that commitment out and make it your number 1 priority through the period of withdrawal and beyond it until you learn once again how to live your life as a non-smoker. It's the only road to success. We all must travel it; there's no shortcuts. We all stand here eager and willing to support you!

I'm sorry to hear that you went back again, but my advice to you is, Number 1, GET RID OF ALL YOUR SMOKING PARAPHERNALIA! Every bit of it; cigs, vapes, ashtrays, lighters, matches, everything! Throw it out in the garbage, but not the garbage in your house or outside your house. Find a public garbage and get rid of it! You cannot have any smoking materials near you! If you want to seriously quit, you need to do this!! I know you can do this @Pilgrim, but you have to listen to all of us, and most of all, YOU HAVE TO WANT IT!! If you don't want it, this won't happen. You have to reach deep inside yourself, talk to yourself and realize that the only way you will quit smoking is, if YOU want it! We can support you and help you, give you advice and tricks to help, but YOU must want it! It won't work otherwise! I'm sorry if I seem harsh but, it's the ONLY way! Come on here every single day and do the NOPE pledge, stay close to the board, play the games, just do it!! This is my 2nd time quitting, the first time I quit for 6 years and then went back, but I believe if I found this board back then, I would have never gone back to smoking. Support is the key Pilgrim, addicts need support, and we are ALL ADDICTS!! I hope you take all of our advice, because we know exactly what you are going through!!! JUST DO IT!!!

G’day NOPE .....Not One Puff Ever. bird of paradise

NOPE for today!

Here's one you probably haven't heard before ...

I'm so sorry you struggled yesterday @Pilgrim You made it to almost a full 7 days which shows some strength, I'm glad you said that you made the conscious decision to smoke, accountability. It IS hard and even months down the line there are days you'll feel that desire but we know it can be done! I too had a strong desire to smoke yesterday, randomly, but I'm NOT giving up 4 months of my quit for what? To inhale poison? No. I know you know this but if you feel that strong desire again, maybe you can reach out here on the SOS thread and someone can help distract you? I'm assuming you had the cigarettes in your home and the vape too, it's always best to get rid of it when you quit, even lighters. Get rid of all the temptation from your home. I hope you're ok and not too hard on yourself (but not too lightly either ), we know it's difficult but it's a battle that is worth fighting! Let's get Day 1 started!

N.O.P.E.

Next Thursday (May 29) would have been Jillar's nine year smoke free anniversary. In her honor and memory, along with the memories of so many other smokers who had their lives cut short, I am lighting this bonfire. Please throw your unused cigarettes into the bonfire in their memory. ** In the past, we would say how many unsmoked cigarettes we were throwing into the fire. Unfortunately, our tickers mostly don't show that now. Just state how many days, years, whatever, you have been smoke free. There is a free unsmoked cigarettes calculator below if you want to figure out an estimate of how many cigarettes you have not smoked since you quit. ** https://www.calculators.org/health/quit-smoking.php I am throwing my 62,223 unsmoked cigarettes in honor of Jill and others who have lost their lives to cigarettes.

In Jillar's honour, I'm throwing on the thousands of cigs I haven't smoked since I quit. She and others here helped me keep my determination up to stay quit and for that, I will be ever grateful! R.I.P.my dear friend Jill

Thank you Johnny for lighting the fire In memory of our beloved Jill and all the lovely folks taken far to early due to this killer addiction I haven’t give the Tabacco Companies another penny of my hard earned money for 11 years 9 months . I hate Cigarettes..

Dr Fauci banned window licking, but I know of this one underground club......

Yesterday was day seven of my quit. In the evening I made a sudden, conscious decision to smoke. It's like I stood at the rim and looked down in to the pit that is nicotine addiction and willingly jumped in that sweet, destructive hole again. Now I'm in it, with a few old cigarettes and half a bottle of vape liquid (about 5ml), telling myself I'll use this stuff up before I start the strenuous climb back to the surface. A day or two at most.
