May 9, 201511 yr Author Funny that you say that because the opposite is happening..you've been through so much ..what's a few puffs with old friends....I'm fighting it...
May 10, 201511 yr Jess, this is a new trigger... others smoke and 'aren't allowed' that's how it feels right?Well let me tell you the truth: AGAIN!!! They need to smoke or get in withdraw, they are addicted... do you want to go back to that?You have a choice here!!!! Choose to be free! and STOP romancing those cigs
May 10, 201511 yr Author Faced the demon and won! I'm a non smoker..I don't smoke! Very happy to get through this weekend on the boat. It feels wonderful!
May 10, 201511 yr OMG, I am so so relieved and thrilled to read this Jess. I've not been around here long, but out of everyone on the QT, your quit seems to be the most hard fought and I was so hoping you would be able to hang on to it. Really really happy for you AND for your kids. WTG :)

Really really happy for you AND for your kids. WTG :) Thank you so much! Yes I've had a few bumps on the quit but who hasn't right? We are all a bit stronger than we think...
May 10, 201511 yr I never doubted you. Honestly!! I always believed in you, your strength and your quit. However, in my english way " 'av a word love" , no more doubts ey!! You have this nailed, now give the triggers some fight. x
May 11, 201511 yr Thank you so much! Yes I've had a few bumps on the quit but who hasn't right? We are all a bit stronger than we think... Never doubted you for a second. Nice work ;)
May 12, 201511 yr Don't give up, sometimes we would rather see are addiction as just a gross habit-like biting your nails.......it sounds like you're still dealing with seeing your addiction for what it is-AN ADDICTION. Once you embrace that concept it will set you free.
July 11, 201511 yr Author Hi Markus..yes 9 months today, thanks for remembering. I haven't been on QT too much lately, health issues and some R&R have kept me busy. Life as a non smoker has been incredible. I feel pretty confident saying " I did it!I got this!I am free from the smoke ring and LOVE it!
July 18, 201511 yr Author WTF is wrong with me...I feel like everyone at my point of quit has it sealed....I'm so close to losing it..ready to give up friends..I'm ashamed
July 18, 201511 yr Jess- hang in there .... I know I still had wobbles at 9 months so there is definitely nothing wrong with you !! Just keep chanting nope and this will pass and remember we are here for support ! Xx
July 18, 201511 yr Author Losing..not winning...done posting..I should have this by now..wasting precious QT family time..this is not what qt/ MQ needs at this time...
July 18, 201511 yr Author Thanks pippa...but I should have this by now. I am ashamed of my struggle. Life goes on, we are not all train riders. I will try to keep the quit but not by constantly asking for help. Xx all
July 18, 201511 yr But if you ask for help it makes me feel needed ! Seriously though - distraction is one of the best tools in your quit arsenal - so if you keep posting I can provide the distraction :-)
July 18, 201511 yr Yeah, that's what this whole forum is FOR!!!!!! To ask for help over and over and over and over again.
July 18, 201511 yr I relapsed after 9 months. Expect it to be rough at times. Time quit is not a measuring stick nor are other people. We're all different. You are wasting nobody's time, least of all mine. This is where you need to be. Period.
