Hi good luck, some people do start again and don't know why someone I work with been stopped 26 years! Started a few months ago said he does not know why he started again and hates it.

Hey Toyah, I had a similar experience, I quit in May I think and fell off during my thrid month (its those terrible threes I think - I on e stopped and failed during my third year - duh!!). Anyway I'm back on track and comfortably into my second month now - I can tell you that the first few days were really hard, I just couldn't believe I was having to go through it all again and really didn't think I had the strength, but I just took it one day, sometimes even one hour at a time - I won't smoke now, later or tomorrow will take car of itself. And I've got this far and feel much much better about it this time than I did earlier this year.

I also realised this time that the money I'd spend on fags between August and Christmas would pay for a flight to get me home from Oz to spend Christmas with my family

Good luck - take it one fag at a time and you'll get there

Hi Toyah, welcome back! I'd bet there's tonnes of stuff you learned from your last quit that you can take forward into this one which will help this be the quit that sticks - will keep everything crossed for you! And just in case he tries to sneak into your head disguised as your friend, here's my favourite pic of him showing his true self:eek:

OMG I think he drinks in my local:eek:

I think we've all had a few attempts over the years before we make the one that sticks. I know I have and I'm still far from complacent now. One day at a time. Good luck and all the best.

Welcome back Toyah, I wish you luck but I've a feeling you're not going to need it to make this "the one" by the way you're sounding

Let us know how its going.
