Sorry to hear this @tocevoD I think most smokers started off as social smokers (I did) and didn't think they would become addicted. The thing is, each time you light up a cigarette, it feeds the addiction. Abstaining from smoking any cigarettes is the only way you will put smoking behind you. Otherwise, you'll keep falling into the cycle of quitting and relapsing. The best thing to do is put cigarettes out of your life forever and that is making smoking NOT an option, no matter what the situation is.4 points

@tocevoDSorry to read you went back to full-time smoking. I stop short of calling it a relapse only because you say you've been social smoking the whole time. And now you see why we as addicts can't social smoke. So let's get you quit for good! You have a great group of 2022 quitters to walk beside and of course all of us to lean on when needed4 points

As has been said many times, the only rule to quitting and remaining quit is the age old acronym N.O.P.E. A very simple concept that we all must follow for life. Good to see you have come to that realization @tocevoD. You sound very committed and ready to go. I hope you indeed follow through with your quit and getting back into shape again. Exercise and other distractions are a great way to get into a new daily lifestyle that does not include cigarettes4 points

Exactly the same thing happened to me, @tocevoD. I had quit for several years. Then I thought (erroneously) just one won’t hurt bc my father in law died, so it’s okay. Then just one while I’m in Vegas. Just one because it would complete this perfect evening. After a few months of this I was hooked again and my addiction came raging back, to more than a pack a day. So glad you are reclaiming your quit! Me, too. What’s gonna be different for you this time? Yours in NOPE-dom!4 points

Wow !!!!.... I'm sorry to hear you smoked after a great 5 years of being free... Sounds like you forgot just why you quit in the first place ....you got complacent..... Pity you did ,nt come here and post a SOS ....we might have saved that great quit together .... All you can do is dust down ...Reread everything here ... Go back to basics .... We are addicts...there is no such thing as having one ...it always leads to more ... Take your seat and buckle up...3 points

Wow that sounds tough, trying to smoke along the way of quitting I mean. A new friend of mine said and I agree, .... I am like a dormant volcano, one spark and I would be erupting again. That's why I stay on the train to remind myself. All the best to you on this quit!3 points
