While this setback is still fresh in your mind, Darcy, I wanted to share a few (kind, non-judgmental) thoughts. Specifically, after serious attempts to quit like this one, I'm pretty convinced that it's impossible to smoke in "normal" unreflective ways again: you've distanced yourself from the denial that accompanies active addiction, and you're even more aware of the damage that each cigarette is doing to you. This uneasiness is ultimately a good (though certainly not pleasant) thing, especially if you leverage it to get back to the crucial, life-affirming work of becoming and remaining smokefree as soon as possible. At least for me, my initial unsuccessful attempts demanded that I confront the fundamental question of whether I could/wanted to see myself as a smoker for the rest of my life. And, despite my addiction, I simply could not imagine a lifetime of smoking and realized, ultimately, that I just had to start again--this time with a frightening but courageous commitment that no matter how crappy I felt and for however long, I would stay smokefree. I know that you can do something similar, and in the process that disappointment (and even self-loathing) you're experiencing now will become a a kind of transformative pride that will shape your future in extraordinary ways. Join us again sooner rather than later, friend--we know you can do this. Christian99 21+ Years Quit

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever

You've decided you've had enough. You're tired of feeling like crap, tired of constantly thinking about smoking and ready to give in and smoke. But what if this was your last day of feeling bad? What if you woke up tomorrow without thinking about cigarettes. Would it be worth waiting another day to see? I remember the first day I woke up in a great mood after quitting and didn't even realize until the day was half over that I hadn't thought of smoking all day. It was a great feeling and the beginning of more great days ahead. Seems everyone was right when they promised me it would get better. Remember you've felt like hell since quitting so why give all that hard work away when tomorrow may be your first great day...

NOPE

NOPE!

Yes, you will be welcomed back. But, you can do this. The quit and relapse cycle is a horrible one (I went through it for a long time before quitting for good) and it is torture. It is tough early on but sticking with it and fighting through it does pay off in the long run. Smoking does nothing positive for you at all, it is all negative. I hope to see you back. Quitting is worth the early struggles.

NOPE…

The Easy Way by Alan Carr really helped me. https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Smoking-Without-Willpower/dp/178404542X/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=3UYSKKCK79PVI&keywords=the+easy+way+to+stop+smoking+by+allen+carr&qid=1681512342&sprefix=The+Easy+Wa%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOVJVQUo1NzZYNklYJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzk0MzcxSUVONzhZRVQ1NDQ2JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyNTM5NjI2RUZXN1BEWEM2NEYmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl
