I hope you never face any more horrible situations, Ankush but, life throws us challenges all the time and we must never put our quit in peril. I copied our friend, @Cristóbal's excellent post for you and for others dealing with life issues. YOUR QUIT & YOUR LIFE - THE PROPER SEQUENCE By Cristóbal, When our quits are young, we must learn and then practice in a conscious manner, to disconnect and keep separate our quits from all life events. We learn to always keep our quits sacred, protected, and never influenced by any life event that may happen. This dynamic we may call The Proper Sequence, and it is powered by your commitment to Never.Take.Another.Puff. (NTAP). It does not matter what may happen on any day in your life......as long as you maintain in a conscious manner The Proper Sequence dynamic as a primary element of your quit, you will not smoke. The Proper Sequence is: YOU --> QUIT --> LIFE. •NOT•: YOU --> LIFE --> QUIT. By maintaining this simple sequence dynamic in your quit, you will not ever have your quit influenced by life events. If you always keep your quit close to you, protecting it with your commitment to Never.Take.Another.Puff (NTAP), you will never, *EVER*, smoke again. We build our quits, and train our minds, our emotions, and our spirits to live as non-smokers in beautiful freedom by continuing to commit to NTAP. as our way of not smoking, and our way of slowly putting this awful addiction to sleep. Consciously adding The Proper Sequence dynamic to your new non-smoker identity will strengthen your quit even more. Cristóbal

You are correct, @notsmokinjo I Hate to talk on the phone. Face to face OK but, I like correspondence the best.

Oh, Ankush, I am so sorry you chose to smoke. Why wait to quit ? It will just make it harder the more brain receptors you loose to nicotine ! Just quit NOW. We are on your side !

I took care of the spiders, for ya Jo.

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE

#! I did not attend college #2 I do not wear make-up #3 I enjoy talking on the phone

Here is a vid from our friend, Joel, about the consequences of relapse. We think we have all the time in the world but, we don't. If you have quit, protect your quit with your life. Quitting IS about Life and Death
