Hi and welcome ... As others have said..please take time to read all the information here... The main board has pinned green squares...there is a ton of useful tips...says to help you along... Educate yourself...you will need this to fight the monster. You can do it..

Don't just abstained from cigarettes, quit them. You are done with them! Time to move on!

Denise you’re right, you don’t want to. You can’t change the past, but throw them out immediately. Read up on this site to occupy your mind. You can do this!!

Nope!

Sticks regain the championship. Great job men!

I have only just joined and unfamiliar with posting. I had not had a cigarette since 17th September 2017 but today have smoked three. I am feeling so absolutely depressed and anxious and caved in. I don't want to smoke. Help.

Congratulations Wee me on having such a great quit going. 4 months is a wonderful base to build your smoke free life on. Something to be proud of so go celebrate your achievement. Just don't blow too hard on those pipes .... you know what can happen

NOPE!

0 zero 0 Another spanking delivered! i believe they are beginning to enjoy this. i am! well done sticks!

Too late Doreen. Sticks Rule!

Victory!

No smoking here .

-3 Joe...dropping the truth bomb. Sticks...honest as the day is long. Chicks...always up to no good.

-4 ill play along.... but look where you and Boo both posted -3 at the same time a few posts above mine... not cheating, correcting.

You did it! You won a trophy. Great Job

Chicks never win anything....deluded fool !!!!

St. Andrew is also the patron saint of fishing. Just something to keep in mind when you're out the river.

-3 It's never too early for Boo!

I was trying to make it look like the Sticks win all the time while the Chicks have never won anything. I exaggerated the disparity for comedic effect. Look...Some days, if I can make myself laugh, I count that as a win.

Haha Doreen Finlay and Tristan are from our fantastic Dundee and took the web by storm a few months ago..!! What.. where are you from.. the dark side of the moon?? "Lang may yet lum reek"

Welcome Denise Sorry we meet under such circumstances but please don;t dwell on what has already happened. You can't change that but you absolutely can control what happens going forward by making good choices - not necessarily easy choices but good choices for yourself. Quit now - right away and read up on this addiction. Let us support you here as you make your way to freedom. You CAN do this.

Learn from this. Whatever you do, don't let this control you and allow you to continue smoking again. If you want to get rid of that crappy feeling that you "caved in", stop smoking immediately. No need to wait until tomorrow, after this or after that; just quit now.

Three in a day is not a high volume to smoke, unlike regulars who go through about a pack. I was using three a day for four days before i quit. So tomorrow, just use none. If you can manage to keep it down to three, then using none is not that much harder. Just try not to light up that first one when you wake up. That will set the day of wanting more if you light up. In other words - it will make the craving worse than if you left it alone. Many have quit successfully, you can too.

Spanks again Chicks!

Truly... That's a long time to wait. Hope you can get through this peacefully, D. You can use your more agile mind (since you quit smoking) to keep your thoughts in line with how you want to spend the next few weeks. Here for you, sis....

I did understand much there either

Joe called him Peter....thought he was dick?

I don't think anyone would mind you being here. You are not even close to the first one here to have relapse, struggles with Quit, etc. Tyme, I did not know you used to be in medical or some sector of caregiving. I guess things we do most of our lives, we cannot just stop on a dime. We cannot escape who we are, what we do. Duty calls, we answer. I never was a caregiver to any capacity but things I am good at, cannot avoid. I guess the best you can do is put together a battle plan. If nothing else, give yourself some credit for what cigarettes you DID avoid during the attempted quits.

Help ..... I need a translator please .............................. Oink, oink.

Tyme, Spending time on this site reading the information available here and watching some of the videos is a vital step in undoing the conditioning we put ourselves through as addicts. Education is the greatest weapon you have in fighting nicotine addiction. This forum is a great tool and I'm glad to see you will be making use of it. That's the spirit.

LMAO...

^^^ I think we all find that moment in our own time. Just depends on how your life plays out. I was never exposed to smokers for over 6 months of my quit - just the way it went for me. I couldn't tell what my reaction would be but when the time came ...... as it turned out, it was quite uplifting for me when I was exposed to a lot of people smoking around me

You window lickers all sounded so smart in this thread I think I am in the wrong group. As for my advise- do t wait. No reason. You could be one week into your quit by then. And if you got ants in your pants and feel like you need to smoke to calm them, take off the pants and do something. Pushup work to tire the body and mind. Or leave pants on and walk. And walk. And walk just keep busy till tired.

Somewhere around 40 years smoking for me too....before that fateful day in Nov. of 2013... thats when, I didn't just say to myself I wanted to quit... I TOLD my self I WAS quitting....no more....no matter how "hard" I thought it would be to not smoke, I told myself it was "tyme" (see what I did there...lol). Sure... Your gonna have the normal bumps in the road on this journey, but we all did...we got past them...after a year quit, you will look back and realize, it wasn't that bad... The hardest thing about quitting is getting our mind on board with the fact that it's all about N.O.P.E...period! . Once you completely accept it, you won't seem to fight it... in in the words of Sarge...it becomes "Easy Peezy" take it it one day at a time, and remember we are here if you need us to "talk you down" there is no shame in having help,through this...that's why we all stick around!
