Before you take that one puff and throw your quit away, remember that everything you've gone through so far will have to be repeated.  Please make a new thread in this board so we can respond and help

yeah I tried that...14 years ago...just quit again now. Was only having the one....

 

Jess, No matter what you feel just carry on walking away from it. You don't want it in your life that's why you quit.

 

Read up on Junkie thinking. It's the thought that says just one puff, just one and before we know where we are the whole damn addiction thing is re-activated and we're thinking, no need to quit, I will cut down....  It doesn't stop there. 

 

Hope you ok sweetie. It's tough at times, I know it is. But with every nope and bad trigger faced your quit gets stronger and longer. Keep the faith chickie.

Skipped lunch and went for a drive....found a lone cig in my car. I parked the car and held the cig for a long time, picked up a lighter and broke the cig threw it out the window and said nope....the absolutely hardest part of this journey so far. Thank you for all your posts and reassurance. I have to keep saying nope...if I slip I will be right back at it.....

That's how it goes. Tomorrow will be better, you did GREAT!!

 

It might of felt bad but you just jumped up your quit big time. Every time we face a trigger down and say NOPE it gets quieter and less demanding of attention. That's how we quit and you're right on track!!

 

Great work. x

I am glad that you made it through with your quit intact. 

 

We all have had the junkie thoughts early in our quits. MQ posted all sorts of video goodness about the nature of this addiction when you have time you should watch them. 

 

Here is the video library.  and This is a bunch of documentaries that I recommend watching at your leisure, they will infuriate you. Also, you should write a response to yourself... write why you want to quit, what you are giving to yourself by taking smoking out of your life, the benefits that you will see from quitting.  Read the thread there are some brilliant posts in there. 

 

Well done, we are proud of you.

Before you take that one puff and throw your quit away, remember that everything you've gone through so far will have to be repeated.  Please make a new thread in this board so we can respond and help you keep your quit.  Whatever you're feeling is only temporary and nothing is worth giving up your quit over.  Not one puff ever.

 

Myself and the moderators are immediately alerted each time a post is created in this forum.  Please do not smoke!

Thanks for the quick response yesterday to my SOS. Did not smoke and am feeling calm today :-)

I haven't figured out quite how to use the site yet.

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.
