7 calendar months today, I have to say things are bit challenging at the moment! Im fighting it though as Im sure having a cig now after all this time would just be damn awful and wouldnt solve anything anyway.
Hope everyone else is doing well in their quits xxxx

Congratulations on 7 months, Moog! Keep fighting those 'moments'..... they are remnants of your past addiction, nothing more and nothing less. You've done really well, don't even consider ever going back! I know you won't of course WELL DONE!!
WELL DONE TO YOU!! Great to see you doing so well. I too went through a quite horrible patch a couple of months ago. Push on through, the wriggly worms go away! xx
Thanks for your replies, its always lovely to read your lovely comments!
Jase, in response, my last serious quit I thought I could have one cig as a "treat" one night after around 7 months, I bought a 20 pack of silk cut as they wouldnt be as bad cos they arent as strong and then preceeded to smoke them all over the following week, then I was fully back in the swing of smoking 20 a day again.
anyway I dont think of fags as treats any more but recently things have got a little bit more stressful and that old feeling of missing my old best friend nicotine tries to creep back. I dont think that however strong that feeling got I wouldnt smoke again because I think about how I felt at week 3 when I really struggled and I never want to go through that again.
I do worry abit about if I encountered some kind of major crisis would I reach for the fags?? I know that before I did I would come on here like I have done throughout my quit and wait for replies, by the time the replies come through that moment of wanting a fag has gone.
that was a good way for me of getting through the bad times, I used to write on here and then just sit at the pc waiting for the replies to come and looking at other posts ( I realise this is probably what everyone else does too!!)
anyway, hope this helps and again thanks all for your invaluable support and kind words xxxxxxx
Yeah sounds like exactly the scenario i had last year.. still, it really does teach you that you are not able to con an addiction and that 1 is never going to be just 1.
Reckon putting that into words probably helped you too a bit eh
Magic 7 months is great. Each time I read that someone tried a cig and it was awful I am glad they were honest as it makes me feel I would never try, not worth it.
Keep up the good work, the years will be upon you soon.
