newbie introduction

[mike1339]

Hello,

I am new to the website... well, I joined a few weeks back. I was 3ish months into my quit, and I failed. It has been a rough few weeks, trying to requit every two days. Perhaps messaging here will help and encourage me to stay quit. I have not smoked today. Outside of smoking, my life couldn't be better. I think maybe that is how I lie to myself and trick myself into smoking, because I always smoked as a reward. I'm sure that sounds silly, I don't know... I am quitting for the many health reasons. Its been horrible that I feel very out of breath after going up 4 flights of stairs at work, which I do everyday for lunch... anyhow, just wanted to say hello. And yes, I love food haha :)

 

Cheers

Hi and welcome!! :D

 

Using smoking as a reward doesn't sound silly at all - I used to do it all the time,.. alot of us did.. now we get ourselves a reward for NOT smoking.

 

you'll find there's a great deal what you'll be going thru as you get further in your quit that others here can relate to, .. when you feel this way - or that,..post here,it really helps to know you're not alone/different.

 

Congrats on coming back to quit for good, we're all here for you - whenever you need - whatever you need  - to stay quit,... in the mean time look around, join in and have fun,!!

 

again, welcome to the Quit Train family!

Sorry, I missed this one.

 

Hi Bob, Food is pretty great :)

 

Welcome and sorry you fell of the train. I too had some trouble with relapse until I joined with these guys. I think it's the chance to "chat" it through with people who have been there that helped. And the SOS facility. Have a read of that and some pinned topics at the top of the discussions forum. I think learning what I faced was an addiction and having people to talk to and share with made a years roller coaster of quits and relapse stop. And of course knowing that mental feeling, was a time thing and it would get progressively less until the thought coming and being dismissed becomes as easy as waving a fly from your face...an annoyance more then anything.

 

Happy to share your journey and welcome again.
