Hello @Deggit. Welcome to the Quittrain. I know how you feel because I have been there many times and good for you for giving this new quit another shot. Maybe this will be your BEST shot. It is never about having courage or lacking the "will" to quit. Smoking is an addiction. And yes, you probably had your reasons for starting many years ago. But you likely got to the point that you found all kinds of reasons in life to smoke... like it was an exclamation point for everything. You will find lots of support here from people who will offer you support. We have all been where you are now. The best place to begin is to not focus on quitting forever. Just one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Please come here often, read posts, get to know others here and come here for support when you are struggling. Join our Daily Not One Puff Ever pledge You've got this @Deggit... and we have your back. Regards, Gene6 points

Actually this is a perfect post for me now. The reason I went back to smoking the first time after being quit for 6 years, was because my husband had Tachycardia and had to have a heart ablation procedure. Needless to say, I was extremely stressed and PETRIFIED so I went back to smoking. Thankfully he was ok, but did going back to smoking make him Ok? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Smoking did NOTHING for my husband or me. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when another very stressful medical incident happened. My 98 year old mom who is in pretty good shape for a person of that age, needed to have emergency hernia surgery. Needless to say, I was very stressed out and nervous. A 98 year old going under general anesthesia and having surgery!! I was PETRIFIED!! Thankfully, my mom came out of surgery with flying colors! She stayed over in the hospital for 3 nights and the doctors, nurses and hospital staff were amazed at her rapid and easy recovery. She barely took any Tylenol as she didn't have any real pain except for some soreness which is totally normal. My mom is an amazing person with such a positive mental attitude! The difference between the last time and this time, is this time I didn't go back to smoking. It certainly wouldn't have changed me being nervous. It actually would have made me more nervous, because my heart rate would have increased A LOT, and I might have ended up in that hospital as a patient instead of being a visitor! So yes, no matter what incident you go through, cigarettes, will NEVER help you! Thank you again Gene, for bringing this up!! Btw, you are doing fabulous with your quit, and I do believe you will become a regular around here!!5 points
