Reciprocity

I'm calling Bakon and his squad. Seems there may have been some criminality involved in this recent "win"? OO

That's a good think Christine Many of us struggle with a number of quit symptoms early on in our quit. It seems every quit is different in terms of what one experiences. The good news for all of us is that those symptoms do not last all that long and the benefits of quitting are many and last forever. When did you quit and are you using any NRT products or prescription aids in quitting or going cold turkey? I'm just curious.

Welcome to Quit Train Christine Sorry, can't help you with your question and hope someone else might be able to give you some insight. I'm a little surprised your therapist can't give you some direction on this as smoking and therefore quitting is a pretty common thing,

^^^ Good stuff JKPK Stick with the NOPE!

Our resident doggie Chrispy is going to be 5 Years Quit this Saturday Jan. 6, 2018! Put on your dancing shoes and lift a glass or two - time to PARTY!!

Actually, they got snow flurries in Tallahssee Florida today so even they are not off the hook with this one (I'm sure Miami is safe though).

Hi Edie Welcome to our family. I too ended up quitting cold turkey. My quit wasn't very well planned but it has so far worked out well for me. I can't say it was easy but it is certainly doable and we here are all the proof of that. Education about the addiction, an unwavering commitment to yourself and determination will all be key components as well as support from like-minded people (that's us) As Doreen said, stay active here, it really does help! You idea of telling others you have quit is great as it does help to keep you committed but in the end, you're doing this for YOU. And it's the best gift you could give yourself Look forward to seeing you around.

Those thoughts of smoking will continue to get weaker and less frequent Latoya as you build on your established quit

It's been chilly for sure!

NOPE!

I think what Jules said is probably the overwhelming feeling you would be left with. Crushing disappointment! I have never heard of a person relapsing and happy about it after the fact. Whether there is or isn't some momentary "pleasure" or dizziness in conjunction with that first drag is secondary to the sudden realization of what you have just done. Killed your quit and now have to start all over again I also think anyone who would do that never really quit smoking. They can abstain for long periods of time but eventually the lure of the cigarette reels them back into active addiction again. They never really understood and believed that this addiction does nothing good for you and only does harm because once you DO get that part of it, it's easy to turn your back on smoking for good.
