Failure is not falling its refusing to get up again. The last quit was a dress rehearsal, welcome to the opening night.

There have been literally hundreds of us that have quit using this forum, stick with it and if you feel you want to smoke post a thread, wait for at least 5 replies before lighting up and then see if you still want to.

Its very doable this quitting lark, but part of it is about you believing in your ability to achieve it. The thing is we ALL have it within us to quit.

Hang in there, read the links in my sig and stay resolute, you can do it I have every faith in that.

Thank you. It is so annoying, I am having a mental battle with myself. Smoking just depresses me and has done for sometime as I hate doing it, yet I cannot seem to NOT do it. As a semi-intelligent person, this is driving me insane.

I will try your suggestion regarding posting - hopefully that will help me.

Don't beat yourself up too much about it. Most of us have been there before!! Good luck getting back on the wagon - we are all here for you.

Its 95% psychological and 5% physical addiction.

The physical withdrawal takes about 3 weeks, then its a case of learning how to live as a non smoker. Over the many years of smoking you associate situations and smoking so it becomes difficult to experience those situations (or even imagine them) without a fag in your hand. Its basically a conditioned response.

If you need to look on quitting as a positive thing regaining health, wealth and control. People who see it as making a sacrifice and depriving themselves have a much tougher time of it.

Thank you everyone! I am back on my quit again, just had three, then destroyed the pack. Realized I hated them. I am torturing myself by repeatedly having to go through the first few days - ENOUGH!

I cannot use anything due to my job (have to be nicotine free) and I hate taking meds and they do not want me on anything due to health issues.

I will get there this time!

Hey! I really relate to everything you said. I feel EXACTLY the same and im back here again lapsing on a 5 day cold turkey quit this morning.

Enjoyed first puff. by the end of the cig thought what have i done!? a day later and i cried that i done the exact opposite of what i want, which is to be a non smoker.

Use these moments though to fuel yourself, fresh into a new quit while the horrible fag memory is in your mind. It is illogical to keep making the same mistake knowing you wont like the outcome. I keep doing it anyways, been trying now 2 years and ive run out of excuses tbh i just need to do it and by the sounds of it you do to.

So lets both be back on day 1 and get this party started all the best xxx

Hi nik! Indeed, let's do this together - give each other strength. I can and WILL do this! I have quit several times for long periods, now I actually truly want and need to I am finding it difficult?!

This is day one. Last one was 2pm (EST), now 6pm, so a good start. Actually my blip has made this easier as I felt so sick after the cig!

He hun

I just wanted to say a big well done for jumping back onto the wagon. It takes guts and determination to do it, so give yourself a big pat on the back!

Please remember that this will get easier, you just have to believe it does x
