NOPE!

NOPE

NOPE! Not on my wedding anniversary it's been (??) years!

Don't go buy. Tomorrow will be better. Make a list of all the great things about not smoking and shut those negative thoughts down

I feel your pain Brioski (I've been crying for 2 days!), but..you have come too far. 5 plus months!! We are learning to cope girl! We never had coping skills. Well we did, but that was SMOKING! So now, we cry. It will get better. It has to right? It took a year my last quit before I began to feel comfortable in my own skin. We have to own this and move forward. You got thru a tough time this past week and you are still grieving that little boy. Your mind is trying to trick you. Smoking will only lead to feeling sh*tty. And then starting over will TOTALLY SUCK. This is temporary and you are strong enough to handle being a little uncomfortable. Let's just cry it out and move on. You can totally do this.

Let those tears run their course Bri. You will be stronger for it. I know you will stick with your quit. You’ve overcome so much. I hope that you are feeling much better now. I hate that you posted this a good while ago and that no one has been on to respond. Please let us know how you are doing.

Believe me brioski, we all hated it, that's why we keep our quits so that we don't have to go through it again!!

Oh @Brioski, I'm so sorry to be late to respond too. You've had a rough time because of the death of that little boy and his funeral. These are the times that nicotine tries the hardest to worm its way back in. Just stand your ground like you have been doing. You can do this! Please let us know how you're doing.....

Grief and anger… what a duo of triggers you are having!! I am so sorry for your tough times. Stay strong, dear. I know the “Screw it I’m in a lot of pain and everything sucks so I might as well smoke” feeling all too well. I threw away a multi-year quit in a moment like that, at my father in law’s funeral. “Just one” led to another and another, and before I knew it I was in bondage all over again. The temptation to smoke waits for us in the tall grass and pounces when we are vulnerable. But smoking did not stop the pain. All it did was make me feel even more wretched. Smoking never brought a loved one back or solved an argument. And poisoning myself brought no comfort. So hang onto your beautiful, precious quit, even when things around you seem grim. You can do this. Hang in there!

Still feeling shitty. I don’t think I’ll go buy anything. These feelings really really suck. Also in an argument w hubs. I hate this shit.

You'll soon get to the place where you'll pity people who smoke. I remember that happened to me when I went to Vegas about 7 months after I quit. Oh WOW! People smoking all over the place ... even in the pools there! That did it for me. That experience really drove home that smoking was both a compulsive addiction and an individual's choice. I remember thinking at the time; boy oh boy, these people have to smoke. I no longer do Ever since that moment, I've only felt pity for people I see smoking. That now sometimes turns to anger if their smoking/vaping impacts my personal space.

Literally crying bc I want to just want to smoke. I want to go buy a pack. I’ve felt really shitty emotions pop up more frequently and feel like cigarettes will help, inhaling smoke. I can almost feel it. This ******* sucks.
