Yeah doing well Jimmy :D

Jess maybe the way I said is was too harsh but there's truth in it. Reflect on yourself... do you REALLY wanna be a smoker for the next upcoming years realising you could have picked up your stick quit now? You need courage to start from scratch after 9 months BUT is the alternative a REAL option? At first you pissed me off you seemed to work to your relapse.... and then escaped saying you don't need to ask help don't deserve it or whatever, I thought the same BUT I posted a SOS a while back, I was close to caving but I set aside my pride and SCREAMED help and posed my frustrations, anger and excuses in my head (junkiethinking) and at the end I got sweet, caring replies, proud friends around me standing with me and applausing for posting a SOS. I think (I almost made the same mistake outta pride) I didn't need a sOS anymore that I was over it that I got it and never in this quit I was THIS close to blowing it, but IN MY sos i threw away my pride and my anger at myself and the overwhelming replies of QT friends were so loving... at the end of my post I had already got back on track saying NOPE, but DID needed to post it; I was hard on you, nothing untrue still harsh and that why I'm posting this. YOU didn't fail; you only fail when you don't get up. So get up and get in the train, we all support you but do you support yourself? In the end there was just one difference between us I used my sos to keep my quit and you came to the conclusion 'you had to be over' which gave you an excuse to back off. NEVER BACK off when you're in that need. I've learned you are NEVER over it, it's in our brain in our system, one puff like Joel says and we're back to square one. Maybe you figured long time quiters don't post an SOS and 9 months is a good long begin, but there's the hazard like Scotman said it gets regular you start to underestamet that puff. First you upset me, others replies about 10 months relapses upset me but it's all about avoiding the traps. You blew your quit, BUT are you less of a beautifull woman, no!!! And YOU, this woman needs oxygen and all the QT support no matter in 2 weeks or 9 months, in fact after calming down as proven many relapsed further in their quit so we can learn from them and YOU, ME and all quiters DESERVE to post a SOS; heck you are supposed too. I still stick with no excuse for a puff ever but as explained what I think happened I think you do not differ from me or any other quiter, I almost didn't post that SOS and if that had happened I would have kicked my pride worse then posting a sos. PLEASE forgive me for being harsh, I mean well, and I pray you read this post and start thinking; PLEASE come back not for me but for YOU you had agreat QUIT and you've learned something; 1; don't reason with junkie thinking 2; Always ask help don't fill in the blacks for others WHY do you think Doreensfree for example (hi hun) still is around. To support us and everyone who needs it but we have to let others support us. Oh, and stick with the NOPE rule hat excluses a lot of excuses and don't bargain with junkiethought, just NO DISCUSSION.... Hopefully I don't annoy you, if I haven't chased you away already.... :( My 5 cent

Time flies,a while ago I thought I already quit for 8 months, so this anniversery was nine lol.... STILL AMAZINGLY HAPPY TO BE FREE

... infected gums, irritation they hurt so bad it feels I need a dentist to fix up a lot of holes lol. Guess my 3 months nicotine free / smoking yes / no yes / no smoking confused my mouth so this sideeffect occurs a little liater in my mouth :D Finally my gums are recovering says the dentist but they are also infected and so I need to put on gel before night on my gums, over 4 weeks to clean my teeth and gums and then 2 weeks latr back to the dentist I swear I thought my teeth were falling out lol, 'just the gums' ok THIS IS A GREAT SIGN for my STICK QUIT; I'm that long off nicotine my gums starts 'recovering from dead to alive.. kinda. Anyone aware I'm headless, freak'n scared chick in the chair of the dentist????

NOPE

NOPE

Agree with mister Easy Peasy Stop your own mindgames, ask support if needed but cut the crap!!! Can you have a hard time at 9 months as many said yeah so it would have been normal to ring the bell. ASKING SUPPORT is what QT IS ABOUT!!! Smoking however is not.
