NOPE

There is no such thing as one cigarette, Opah. I've learned that painful lesson several times in the past. You have to commit to never taking another puff. We will always be nicotine addicts but as long as we don't feed that addiction, it will eventually become dormant. The key is never lighting up again. I'm glad you are quitting again. Stick close to this place. We are here to help you.

I think it is great to express all of what you are going through. Ramble all you want. It helps others and it definitely helps you clear your head and stay focused on why you are quitting. Keep with it. Yes, things may suck early on but you are doing a huge thing by staying quit. Things do get much better. Keep up the great work.

I can't add much that everyone else hasn't already said, Fab. No Man's Land is something that most (but not all) quitters seem to hit after the first few months and that seems to be what you are going through now. Nancy put it best in talking about how the shiny has been worn off your quit. She also put it best when she said that cigarette is not your friend but your enemy that wants to kill you. Losing the safety net of QSMB and your quit buddy definitely adds to your struggles but you are doing great. 81 days smoke free is huge. You should be very proud of that. Keep with it, Fab. You are a non-smoker now. You have no use whatsoever for a cigarette.

Great job, Albert! Congratulations!
