Started back smoking in July 2020 (during coronavirus) after a 10 year quit! So mad at myself and don't know how to get back to where i was. Anyone else have a similar story?? Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to the site, @prichy

 

I'm sorry to hear about your relapse.  10 years quit was a great accomplishment.  Yes, Coronavirus has impacted so many people in such different ways but smoking will not make anything better.

 

You successfully stopped smoking for 10 years but now is the time to quit for good.  You can't fix what happened in the past so don't dwell on it.

 

Just focus on quitting for good.  You must have seen some sort of positive in order to go back to lighting up.  Please believe that there is nothing positive to be gained from smoking.

 

Please visit the link below that gives you tips as to how to use this site and read up on some quitting resources.

 

 

I'm sorry for your relapse but you can still quit for good.  Stick around this site.  There is a lot of knowledge and support here.

Welcome aboard prichy, man that's a long quit you gave up but given the current circumstances we're in I can understand. Our addiction will look for any way in! I think you must have forgotten that one is never enough for a nicotine addict as you're seeing now.

I credit a lot of my success on being surrounded with fellow quitters who knew what I was going through at any time in my quit. I stayed glued to the forum and made such good bonds with people that letting them down by relapsing was the last thing I wanted to do. 

My suggestion to you is stick close, go back to basics and NOPE each day. Its a promise to yourself that just for today you will not smoke.

So now that you're here I hope you start your quit right away. We're here for you pretty much 24/7 so reach out if you need to. 😊

The rules are the same as they were when you quit ten years-ago.  Rule #1: DON'T SMOKE!  Rule #2: If you have any further questions refer back to Rule #1.

 

Quitting smoking is simple.  Challenging but simple.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
