April 10, 201412 yr ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ Look at my tickers! ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓ Attention Newbies, Oldies, In Betweenies(1): I could be at 2 months 3 days smober but I am not because I smoked...Now I am only on day 12. :( Don't be like me...don't ever relapse. This is your forever quit. You don't want to start over! NOPE!! IF YOU HAVE JUST ONE CIGARETTE, YOU'LL BE BACK WHERE YOU STARTED.WHERE YOU STARTED WAS DESPERATELY WISHING YOU WERE WHERE YOU ARE TODAY. (1) Wasn't there a poll somewhere? Did we decide on any names yet?
April 10, 201412 yr Scared me!!!! Thank goodness you were referring to your previous relapse. Day 12 of a forever quit is more significant than 2 months of a temporary break in smoking. :) Good for you!! :)
April 10, 201412 yr So very true Trish. I honestly think the guilt a person feels after a relapse is far worse than those 3-minute cravings. Why work so hard on something to give it up over a temporary craving? Relapses suck. Period. You're back where you started and have to go through Hell/Heck Week all over again. Not fun and I would not recommend it. The cravings go away. At some point in your quit, you'll even be at a stage where you forget you smoked in the first place. Everyone can do this. Quitting IS possible!

April 10, 201412 yr LOL Glad you changed the title of the thread! you are doing great and I think you learnt alot from last time - remember this is your forever quit too.
April 10, 201412 yr Trish... do yourself a favor... write down 3 short reasons why you want to remain a non-smoker... keep it with you because you will have some craves again... and when you do, pull out that list, remind yourself why you're a non-smoker now. When I first quit, when I craved I wouldn't remember why I wanted to be non-smoker, that list saved my ash many times. Rain
