Back on the train it is! I kept getting heavier and heavier cravings. I was feeling tormented. I couldn't understand why after three months I was suddenly having such strong cravings. It was like I never quit. Then I just thought I could handle one puff, and stupid me listened to that junkie thought. Then it was okay, I had a few puffs, a few more wouldn't hurt. And my impulse control tends to be s*** so that turned into a cig and a half before I even realized what I was doing.

Alright. Should I still change my quit date to today? Or should I keep my Feb quit date?

Unfortunately, after three months of not smoking, I relapsed today. I know, it was my choice to take a puff, and the puffs after that one. I've had a cig and a half today so I'm thinking this is a complete relapse. I'm going to start over again Saturday with a new quit date, and in the meanwhile rethink my strategy, watch videos over again, and go back to reading Easy Way to Stop Smoking. Find out where I went wrong, aside from taking that puff.

The cheesiest thing I ever read was to say "YIPPIE! I'm not a smoker!" in the book Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. To be honest, I hated that. But it's true that we need to celebrate the fact that we're not smoking. Try letting a celebration be your reward. Smile, even if you have to force it, and think, "I used to smoke here, but now I don't. That feels good." For some reason, while smiling is an indicator that you're happy, the act of smiling can help you become happier as well.

Makes sense. I would get up, make coffee, check facebook and email, and make my nope pledge. I never thought I'd be able to give up that first smoke of the morning, but the first day I quit I got up and came on here and typed NOPE, and didn't smoke all day. So I guess that 22 min thing has some credence to it. Which reminds me, I should start doing my nope pledges again. I stopped for some reason and just didn't pick it back up again.
