Sorry to hear you "wobbled" but in reality Jules, this was a relapse :( I'm very glad to hear you want to get back on track as a NON-SMOKER. Your life may depend on that one day. We are here as always to support you but you will have to do the hard work yourself. Understanding this addiction plus your own determination to beat it are both keys to being successful in your quit. You say you only had 10 cigarettes and you used to smoke 3 packs a day. Trust me when I say that if you do not get immediately back to no smoking, you will be at that 3 pack a day point before you know it. It's just a fact and you can read about that in many threads where people speak of their relapses back to smoking. Think again about the reason or reasons that brought you to the point of quitting before and if they are still true, rededicate yourself to quitting Also, do you know what the triggers were that made you smoke those 10 cigarettes? You will need to figure that out so it doesn't happen again this time around. This is a really hard thing you're doing here, as it is for all of us. You really need to make you quit the number 1 priority in your life, particularly for the initial few weeks and even months. If you don't, the addiction will seduce you back to feeding it's nasty needs. Please stay close to the board here too for support while you begin your new quit. Support is also key to a successful quit :) Sorry Jules if I sound a little harsh. I am not trying to be mean but this is serious stuff we are all dealing with here and we want you to be successful at quitting too.

Depending on how any rental agreement is worded regarding the deposit that was left ,you could probably not return the deposit until you paid for whatever cleaning of the cottage was necessary to get the cig. smell out. These problems go with being a landlord - these and even worse sometimes!

Yeah - no over reaction on your part. They were completely in the wrong and out of line. Clearly the manager must have been sleeping through the customer service training they would have received. Not sure if this is a privately owned place or part of a chain but there is likely someone higher than the manager available to lodge a complaint with perhaps? EC's suggestion above is also a good one. Social media is the place to expose unfair treatment these days. Gets a lot of attention but usually only when it's a bigger company. Still - you can warn off others from going there.

NOPE!

Congratulations on 10 months free of those nasty cigs.:) Wow, only 2 more months and we will be having that Lido Deck party :D Great Job SF!!

Oh, don't do that Rob :)

I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed to be a part of a thread that starts out so innocently and sweetly then after 3 pages sinks so far into the abyss as this one has!

I'll take 3 of this please - thank you.

^^^ I know. Pretty much qualifies as cheating, far as I'm concerned! +1

Only because there's so many of you!

NOPE!
