Congrats on reaching the 9 month milestone .... 3/4 of the way to the Lido Deck! Not long now. Keep building that fabulous quit @Kate18!

Will this last you a couple days?

This addiction is powerful and uses your own mind to lure you back to feeding it. The thing is, you can control your own thoughts if you try. You really need to focus though. Your memories of smoking will only be the good memories , not the memories of all those mindless smokes you had day in and day out. Focus your mind on the good things quitting is bringing you and remember the reasons you quit in the first place. Those never change so don't let those reasons fade - write them down and look at them daily! Now that you have awakened your addiction once again by smoking those two cigs, you will have to really double down on your quit efforts in order to be successful! Understand that and be prepared for some challenges again in the coming days. If you really want to quit, it's still there for you but you will have to work hard for it.

Welcome back Kdad! Stick around for the support you'll need in the early days. Read all you can and use any appropriate videos as motivation. You can do this and let that relapse act as a reminder of just how precious yet vulnerable our quits are. Make this one the forever quit you deserve!

You've done it before successfully so you KNOW you can do it again. Work on getting your mindset straight and aimed at another run for the quit. Don't dwell in the past or feel sorry for yourself because of what happened and don't let that affect your energy for this next quit but never forget what it was that pushed you to start again. I suspect complacency or romancing the cigarette and figuring you could have just one for old time sake? Whatever it was it's done now. Time to move forward. You know there's only ever one rule ..... NOPE!

Knock yourselves out! Here in Canada, we already have our three main food groups figured out and we don't deviate from them for nobody
