I'm sorry to hear that @nicotine_free The best thing to do is start the quit again. Glad you are doing that. Reach out to the board if you are about to smoke. Support does help a lot. Quitting smoking for good is very doable and worth the early struggles.

I do apologize but there was another user named jonny5 here before I joined that I think you are referring to. I joined later. Sorry for any confusion. Doesn't matter, you can do this. I'm glad you are quitting again.

Welcome back @Sunnyside I'm sorry that you relapsed but you are doing the right thing in quitting again. Congratulations on 1 month smoke free. I'm sure it will be the first month of many. Keep the quit and you'll never have to go through these early struggles again.

NOPE. Not a chance.

NOPE!

Congratulations on 4 years smoke free, @catlover Awesome job!

Welcome back, @Kdad I'm sorry you quit but I'm glad you are back. I can tell you from first-hand experience that the cycle you are in, quit/relapse/quit/relapse really sucks. It is torture. You are miserable when you are smoking and you know you need to quit and that you would be better off if you quit. You quit for a certain amount of time, keep thinking about smoking, and eventually relapse. The thing you need to do is quit and quit for good. In fact, I think I may have said this exact thing the last time you came back from a relapse. Time to quit for good and quit torturing yourself. You may struggle early on but you'll be much better off long-term. Remember and believe the fact that smoking does absolutely nothing positive for you. All the supposed benefits to smoking are lies. There is no downside to quitting but there are tons of downsides to staying a smoker. Stick close to this site. Pledge NOPE (Not One Puff Ever) daily and mean it. Reach out for help BEFORE you smoke. Read up on info about nicotine addiction here. Time to quit, @Kdad You can do this.

Ticker works and looks good. Take pride in the time since you last smoked. Things will get better, even with coming off of the gum. You are doing a great thing.
