August 3, 201412 yr Susana so sorry I missed your SOS but so pleased to see you overcame it, the reality is yes there will be tough days, but as time goes on it does get easier and easier, I never believed any of the longer term quitters myself when they said "it gets easier" now I do, yes I still have the occasional urge to have a cigarette but that's all it is an urge, a thought, I am not going to act upon it, its there, it lingers for a few seconds now and then its gone, same as you the urge was there but you didn't act on you, now the next time it happens you know what to do, be strong and overcome the urge xx
August 4, 201412 yr Susana - sorry I missed this but glad you made it through - surviving an incident like this will make you stronger ! Great job posting an SOS - and not smoking !
August 4, 201412 yr Well done for posting the SOS Susana, I got to the point you did at my 7 months anniversary and posted an SOS I was so pleased I did the next day, we are all human with emotions, it takes guts and a swallowing of pride to post an SOS but it can make the difference Please hold your head up high today and move forward you did great by reaching out Hopefully others will see this and reach out if needed and learn you can go on and past that crucial moment So many don't and just relapse and disappear, this makes me sad Have a good today hun xxx
August 4, 201412 yr Author How are you feeling now Susana? Thanks Action. I´m glad I didn´t relapse yesterday. I feel empowered that I didn´t succumb yesterday. I don´t think I´ll ever get as close to surrender as I was yesterday. In the other hand, had I relapsed yesterday, I don´t know how I would have felt today. Awful surely is an understatement. Just keep marching! :)
August 4, 201412 yr Great stuff Susana, You won that battle hands down.....today will be a better day........

August 4, 201412 yr Sorry I wasn't here yesterday, but look at you- you saved your quit! I'm soooooo happy for you and proud of you.. fantastic..posting an SOS before giving in to the addiction - BRILLIANT!!!! Congratulations on one more hard won victory!!! {hug} hang tough and keep fight'n! :aggressive: ..you can do this!!!
August 4, 201412 yr Susana...I am happy to see the outcome of this thread. But please...make no mistake, you didn't almost throw away your quit. You posted an SOS and in my experience since quitting...most people who post an SOS don't smoke. (at least not at that time) SOS says "I'm sick of this crap. I don't want to smoke. Please somebody help me adjust my junkie thinking because that sucker is really strong today and I don't want the addiction to win this time" That's what an SOS says...so please....for YOU and ANYONE reading this....NEVER EVER EVER hesitate to post an SOS...EVER. I don't care if it's 1 day..1 week...or 1 year since your last smoke. I don't care if you post 10 SOS's in 1 day. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness...very important you understand this. That is all :) Victory for you susana!!
