I failed

[SamDy]

Yep, I failed. I smoked 6. I guess tomorrow I need to try again. I don't know what to do with this empty feeling, like there is something missing.

I,m so sorry to hear that. At first there is a very empty feeling and a sense that something is missing. It’s very much like a bereavement feeling.  Don’t be discouraged though, getting straight back into it is the best thing you can do. I found eating something helped me,  and keeping busy. Posting every minute on here if you need to also helps.

Why didn't you post another SOS? Nd why are you waiting until tomorrow? You're quit starts the moment you put out your last cigarette

 

[SamDy]

@jillar I'd hate to be a burden. That's why I didn't. I've had people put me down on other forums because I was posting quite a lot. And now when I post that I'm trying again, they make fun of me.

I'm sorry to hear this, SamDy.

 

It is best to quit again as soon as possible.  I would suggest right now.  You can't unfix your mistake today but your quit does begin after your last cigarette.

 

Yes, you may have an empty feeling early on but things do get better the longer you are smoke free.

 

And yes, post all you want.  If it helps you, go for it.  Don't be afraid to reach out.

You will never be a burden on here, you can post  as often as you like. No one is making fun of you here, we are one big family helping and encouraging each other along

i really hope you quit again right away.

I'm just upset with myself now. Everytime I try, I fail. I've seen what lung cancer does. I need to quit.

SamDy, NO EXCUSES!  We would not make fun of you.  Our wish is for you to be able to quit.  We are here to support you.  The first week of quitting is tough but doable.  Once you get the nicotine out of your system, it is a matter of redirecting your thoughts.  I loved that you posted your digital art and think that is a great way to stay busy.  You need to start again right away.

I promise you, your life will get so much better when smoking is off the table!

SamDy, the little bit of discomfort you will experience while quitting, is nothing compared to the smoking related illnesses you could experience.  I smoked for 42 years and never thought I could quit.  The wonderful support here showed me that I had the power to do it.  When you get that urge to smoke, close yours and breath deep CLEAN AIR.  Imagine your body starting to heal.  Stay close to the forum and post an SOS if you need us.  You can do this!

@Linda Thomas I'm not giving up. I'm quitting, however many attempts it may take. 

@everyone thank you all. Tomorrow is a new day, with new chances. I'm heading to bed now, goodnight all.

My Cigarette, My Friend

 

You need to study up on nicotine addiction.

It will explain A LOT of what you may be going through.

 

It is time to stop 'trying' and make a serious commitment to yourself and stand by it.

Time to be responsible to yourself.

 

" I guess tomorrow I need to try again"

You can quit NOW and build yourself a successful quit IF you choose.

I recommend you choosing well, your LIFE and Freedom are on the line.
