Really sorry about that, but many of us have fallen down, the important thing is to pick yourself up again.

Take a bit of time to re-address the situation, don't waste time dwelling on what's happened or what could have been. Hopefully this fail with make you stronger the next time because you'll be aware of the traps and triggers that caught you out this time.

Get yourself into a strong, good frame of mind and go for it again. You can and will do it.

Good luck,

Lorraine

Hi Demented and Defrog I am sooooo sorry you have slipped were the ciggys good and do you now feel sooooo great I am thinking that you are both regretting the slip so forget it and carry on as if you didnt have them or you will be kicking yourselves all the while.

Hey guys, sorry to hear all this news but today is a new day, the first day of the rest of your life. Most of us here have had more than 1 day 1, really it does not matter, what matters is that you choose not to smoke today.

Do the reading, it really will help, post often, that too really helps.

Maybe plan treats, put the money saved to one side for a big treat.

Sending you both some PMA and a hug and hoping it helps.

Thanks everyone...

I'm doing it! Back to you demented...Get back on that horse!

I feel like trash today and my teeth feel awful...can't believe 3 smokes can make me feel so bad...it's 13 hours since I smoked them...not one craving and the rest of the smokes in the bin... Chopped up!!!

[nsd_user663_3282]

Sorry to read about Demented and Defrog's slips...I can well imagine how saddened both of you feel about that. Other's have posted above that most of us have a many, many false starts until we finally secured a successful quit.

One of the most important jumping off points is having a positive focus upon what you are trying to achieve...that you are going to stop smoking and that you are going to change you life for the better. Because you want to for yourselves and your health...not to mention your wallet.

Whether you feel particularly positive is not the issue...you have to try to think from that basis. Also be determined about it, stoically refusing to budge despite whatever is happening around you.

All pretty easy to say...and difficult to put into practice.

Congrats for getting back up Defrog...I'm sure that Demented will be back and giving his all soon :cool::cool:

I know exactly where your at guys, I am currently on quit number 5 and thats just within the last 6 months!! Day 9 for me though and (fingers crossed) going well.

The only advice I can offer to help get you back on track is to have some serious motivation for this quit. Whenever I lapsed my wonderful brain gave up and reasoned that seen as I had smoked a couple, I might as well keep smoking them for the time being so I allowed myself to go back to 25 a day in the blink of an eye.

I feel different this time though as for the first time in years I actually have some money in the bank with 3 days to go until payday!! I know that health should be my motivation and it is but seeing my hard earned cash still sitting in the bank so close to payday has made me realise I would rather be solvent than a smoker and has boosted my resolve no end!!

Find your big motivation and keep it in your head each time a craving hits. Don't beat yourself up about the lapse, most of us have them, it's the getting back on track that counts.

Very best of luck!!

I think that it is key not to beat ourselves up about it... That's exactly what I thought this morning and am a non smoker once again... It would be easy to dwell and use it as an excuse to carry on smoking...

[nsd_user663_7906]

Thanks for all your support

Dont know where I am at the moment

Back to day one again

Need a new plan of attack

going to keep trying anyway

Thanks again all

Hey demented, quitting is in your head now. You dont stop thinking about it. Thats how i stopped and when i failed :mad: after 3weeks the thought was still there...quit quit quit quit 24/7 until i did again....22 days ago! Yep, you tripped, dust yourself down and try again (that sounded like a Hollywood musical line):rolleyes:

Its in your mind now! Good luck, you can beat this stinky thing!
