Im posting this hopefully just to help others tempted to do the 'just one'. You can search for my posts on here - quit in January 2011 for more than a year, a drunken night led to smoking and well back to a packet a day within a couple of weeks. Have since then spent much of the 18 months since then on various failed, admittedly half hearted quits - a few days here, a week here, even a month or two a few times - I think the most was almost 70 days - and then as my brother said to me - you're nuts, you do the hard bit and start again.

He was of course right, so finally here I am on Day 4 for the final time. All I can say to everyone on here is just don't fall for it - once you've quit, you've quit - thee's nothing to be gained by smoking again - if anything its a hundred times worse smoking after you've lived without it.

Actually feels a bit different this time around, much more like the time I quit in 2011, which strangely I do think of as succesful.

Anyway I'm done with them now, too old for that milarky.
