Hey, so i just wanted to vent this out and where better than here.
I got drunk for the first time in my quit last night, and i smoked a 20 deck of fags but thank god im still on champix because ive decided to let that blip go and just go back to where i was, and the champix has stopped me from craving again.
I know next time if i done that again i wont be so lucky.
So for anyone struggling and thinking you miss them, i can hand on heart say i didnt actualy enjoy smoking, i got nothing out of it so please dont bother!!, if it was that good i would be smoking again today and im not. lesson learned.

You mean to say you smoked 20 and you call that a hiccup or a blip?!!!
Sorry, but even if you are on Champix and haven't yet completely let go, there is no way you can pass it off as a little incident! For sure you cannot be posting in the Month 2 room as though it's perfectly ok. You really need to go back to day 1 whenever you're ready.
It's really sad to hear it went so badly, but hopefully you've learned from this and won't repeat the same mistake all over again.
There was absolutely nothing constructive in your comment Alex. I dont see why your angery at the fact that im not upset about it. weird. :confused:
Please don't use passive-aggressiveness to rally for support. My comment was neutral and factual, and I doubt that anyone will agree with you that smoking 20 of a night constitutes a hiccup or a blip, nor that you can say that you've been quit for 2 months.
I had a blip a few weeks ago. Had a few puffs I'm on me 4th month now. And iv decided I'm not going back to day 1 even tho a few member on here said I should . Done really well this weekend went out with friends everyone is a smoker stayed in the smoking room most of the night with them went back to a house party and still spent most the night / morning under a gazebo.. And didn't even felt like smoking at all even tho I was on me 3rd bottle of wine.
Having that blip made me stronger as when I took that drag. I could feel it and it's evilness seeping into me system. My heart started to pound faster that made me dizzy and shake.. And not in a good way, tasted vile in my mouth were I reslly wanted to Jo jobs and brush the vileness away.
And I do think smoking 20 is a bit more than a blip. But at least now u no that u don't want to carry on smoking. Or u would of gone out and got another 20.

Nikki you can't smoke 20 cigarettes and then tell everyone else not to try it :eek: A couple of puffs is a blip, a cigarette is a slip but a whole pack is a full blown relapse.
The fact you're not upset just shows you aren't even taking your quit seriously :confused:
You should go back to day 1 and take some responsibility instead of blaming alcohol.
Priceless. Priceless and rich coming from you Karri. How dare you judge this young girl who is seriously trying to quit? You are not qualified to judge. Almost 4000 posts and what? Still trying? Yeah right.
Nikki. You have done so well. I hope the forum police havent deterred you and that if you feel you can keep on keeping on...you do. You smoked a pissed up packet of fags and woke to know how stupid that was. Stay right where you are honey. I'm totally rooting for you to get over this. You seem to think you can......and so do I. Day 46 here you come x

i think you should know a little bit more about person before you judge karri because what i dont think you knew is i lost a parent to smoking related causes, so no quitting is not a joke to me. you didnt know so it wasnt like you were being nasty, but it is highly likely many people on a quit smoking site have been urged on to quit for similair reasons...think about it.
thats why the forum police can do one as far as im concerned, i know why im here thank you very much. day 46 tomorrow!
you should know what a sensitive topic it is for people then and actualy how seriously people do take it, so i can really not understand why you said anything in the first place actualy lol der.
I think what kari is trying to convey is that essentially 'having a few fags' is tantamount to smoking again. I know she's trying to convey that its a slippery slope. And that it is serious.
However, I noticed people on this forum do good cop, bad cop. The trouble is sometimes bad cop is demotivating and good cop is the soft touch.
My personal opinion is this: the old me, and probably the old nikki, would not be on here saying its a blip. Wed just be at home smoking as normal going " oh its too hard... It's not the right time..." on our way to buy another pack of 20 with no view to quitting. I take my hat off to her at 23. I thought that 'ill quit in a few years"... Etc. At 29 its bloody hard for me. What makes a smoker? Not sure, but nikkis attitude is not like that of my smoking friends. Because she's quitting. And she's on day 45. Which is more than many people ever ever get.
Never mind arguing over whose parents died over smoking related illnesses or whatever, and arguing over penthouses and days... The point is our parents knew how hard it is to quit. My dad tried several times. But our parents would be proud of us for keeping going on the quit road. Were here for the same reason. Quitting smoking.
I understand emotions run high when giving up smoking, but Im sure most people here don't want to be logging on to be reading this, it doesn't matter whether you have quit for 1 day or 100 days, Everyone here is here for 1 reason and squabbling over whether a quit should be started from day 1 or not is pathetic really !!!!

Thank you, it is tough espeacially when all your friends sit on a balcony getting drunk and our the only non smoker lol :rolleyes: i was very lucky to still be on champix as i believe it has done its job and the nicotine didnt touch my lovely receptors which is why im still not smoking afer saturday night.
How ever, i do realise it was not good in a quit, i wont be calling it a blip if it happens again because i wont be on champix and therefore it will be full blown addiction again.
anyways regardless of days and yes, penthouses, day 1, 30 or 100 or 2000 doesnt really matter. its how you feel about it and the effort you feel you have put in, for someone on day 600 but thinking about fags still, is no better more quit than me.
I agree with the above post. Getting hammered & smoking a 20 box then realising what an idiot you were & carrying on where you left off actually takes some doing. Most people would throw in the towel & start smoking again for a while.
Day 1, day 10, day 365, it ultimately doesn't really matter. What matters is if you're smoking today or not.
You know what? It doesn't really count if you were totally smashed, so long as you can't remember it. Apparently I smoke somewhere between 50 and 100 per weekend, so my friends tell me, but as far as I'm concerned I'm totally quit, a real non-smoker as it were.
I'm not saying it doesn't count, of course it does! What i'm saying is that what day you're on is ultimately not that important. If continuing on as though it hadn't happened keeps the momentum going, surely that's the most important thing?
