Rez..This post is great...and so true! Thanks!

Yes I think bakon calls a relapser a window licker. I agree sunny...just have to get through each hour of the day. I'm nauseated, tired & down...I'm sure you were there too. Just using my box of help tools to get through the worst. This addiction sucks.

We all need hope....and the confidence & courage to stop MQ. Yours & many others' posts are inspiring. Thanks xx

Evelyn just keep on marching ahead Hon....you made a mistake, it can happen, but we have to wake up every morning & say "I don't smoke anymore". I'm not disappointed in you....I just want you to resume your NOPE. I'm the last person here who should give advice but I DO understand. You have the courage to resume your NOPE...just don't have any more whatever you do! Experience talking here. Hugs & positive energy coming your way.

Yes I'm still here! Feeling awful of course but I expected that. Remind me that fatigue & feeling "shitty" is all normal! Lol! I know I will start to feel better soon. I can wish I had never started, never relapsed, never become an addict but all the wishing in the world is not going to help....I have to do this on my own...and like others, try to do it whatever way works for me. This sucks you know! Looking forward to feeling better with NOPE. Thanks to you all for your supportive comments. I deserved the window licker one Bacon....but I'm back & I'm a NOPE. Hugs to you all xx

Thanks to you ALL! I have to do this....the sticky quit...I have only tried to quit 4x in 40 yrs.....don't want to make it 5!

It sure is Evelyn. Releases stress, cleanses & forces you to take deep breaths even if they are sobs. Sometimes we all need to cry. Hope today is a little easier on you. xx

Good job Warrior....you can learn to do this. Fight, say Nope & win xx

Time Evelyn....grieving takes time. Events happen that hurt SO bad you want to curl up in a ball & shut out the world but you can't. It's tough. But you are going to be okay. It just takes TIME. You are strong....you didn't blow your long term quit....give yourself permission to grieve, to cry, to get that pain out. And allow yourself precious time. Hugs to you.

Read the other SOS posts. That will keep you busy & help.

How are you doing Warrior?

Anxiety attacks suck.....you will learn to beat them!

Warrior I know what you are feeling. It's awful but I can assure you it will feel worse if you smoke. DO something physical....get your mind off the urge. Suck on a straw or an ice cube. Try to calm down. It will go away....it just takes half an hour or so. You will be okay. I hear you.....but honestly, you have to fight. Do whatever you have to do but don't smoke. Walk, run, clean....just get your mind off it. Nope, nope, nope.

Congratulations Doreen!

Evelyn! Congratulations!

Congratulations! You have done a great job! You give me Hope.

I know many of you will remember CPK...she stopped smoking using a binky (soother) & was known for her wit, intelligence & passion to Quit. Unfortunately quitting smoking lowers tolerance to alcohol & she slipped up for just one night....a night that ended up with her unfortunate removal from the Forum. But she has pushed onwards & is winning the fight! Thought you would be interested in knowing she only had that one bad night. Her spunk & committment to the Quit has earned her 8 months of being smoke free, a commendable Celebration! Yaay CPK!

YES I will! Thank you! xxx

Relapses stink....literally. I lost a 5 month Quit....no excuses, we all go through tough times. I'm scared after what I went through in my last Quit but I am educated and better prepared this time. I just have to do it. I felt better after 5 months of not smoking both physically & mentally and I was proud of myself. Gotta do this. It would be nice to live & even better to stop the disappointment in myself, the fear, the stink, the sense of failure & guilt. l just want to Quit. For good. I thought I could quit again without the Forum....but the support from others helps a lot. Nope Nope Nope. I wish I had never started this filthy addictive habit.

Jess, I blew a 5 month quit recently, but I am back on the train. I "fessed up too". I really felt it was important to get right back into the warm seat others kindly saved for me asap despite my failure. That was highly encouraged here. I don't post often but I have won the battle. I am smoke free. And I CAN identify with what you are going through. You can stop smoking quickly again. It's a mind set..."I don't want to be a Smoker or a Serial Quitter because I want to live". You can get back Jess....you do need to get the right mind set before old habits re-establish themselves. I hope my post helps you. You will be beating yourself up & feeling guilty & angry with yourself....but so many on QT understand and are here for You. So am I. Good luck...thinking of you xx

Eccellent post! SO true!

Nope

A good read. I needed this!
