I posted an sos on day 2, and it worked.. around the 6 mo. mark I was struggling... going back to smoking was just nagging at me.. nag-nag-nag 24/7.. I didn't post an sos at the time because I didn't want to admit I was losing my grip on my quit, I wanted to get thru it an no one be the wiser..STUPID mistake!!!!!
it almost cost me my quit, our Action saw I was in trouble and reached out, before I knew it the QT family was rushing in to "get me off the ledge".. what I found out after talking and listening to "the family" is that I really wasn't wanting to smoke.. I was just have'n a good fashioned pity party mostly because the "newness" of my quit had worn off, the "love affair / honeymoon" stage of being newly quit had worn off, and I didn't like it.. not one bit..
once I realized that, I could put on my big girl panties and get to the business at hand, namely enjoying my new smoke free life, filling the new found time on my hands..
the honeymoon was over because I had gotten past the hardest part... the admiralen rush was over.. ..I didn't understand that.. and the NOT understanding what I was really feeling nearly cost me a 6 month quit... I'll say it again.. STUPID!! if I had reached out and posted an sos I could have saved myself a hell of a lot of misery!
now I know if I feel a bit out of sorts to reach out.. the folks here on the QT have a wonderful way of getting to the bottom of whats going on when you can't see the forest for trees...
