Thanks jillar for your supportive words! it certainly shows that the addiction is there always on the back burner! That’s why I figure this is the best place for support and encouragement! I definitely do not want to be ruled by this addiction and I want to go back to life before I had that cigarette where I didn’t even think about smoking! And yes I was in deep shock and wasn’t thinking correctly at the time!

Thanks! I only had that one cigarette 2 weeks ago. I’m back because I have been craving another since. I have not taking smoking up again and do not plan to do so and that’s why I am here Its just amazing how many times since that cigarette I have thought of having another! So my relapse date was feb 18 and that would also be my new quit date I guess!

Hi everyone! My original quit was 8 years ago. I did it with the support of others. I spent a lot of time on the other forum which I can no longer find. How ever, 2 weeks ago I was contacted by the woman who had an affair with my husband between September last year and January this year and my mental state was not the best and I made the silly decision to have a cigarette. Well that set that addiction back in fully swing!! I have been craving another cigarette non stop for the last 2 weeks!! So I thought it was best to jump back in to a support group and actively fight that feeling of wanting another cigarette! Plus I hope that I can encourage people to understand that ‘Not one puff ever’ is the absolute truth! Because after 8 years picking up that one cigarette has put me back to the early stages of my quit where I had cravings and thoughts about smoking all the time! I am strong and I have done this before so I know as long as I keep on track and in the right mindset I won’t pick up another! I do not want this addiction to rule my life and refuse to allow it and that’s why I am back! I had such a great 8 years nicotine free and want to keep it that way!!
