On the fourth day and after spending the last day or two browsing around the site, thought it was time to (re) register and say hello.
This is my third time on here and I can't believe I was stupid enough to start smoking after nine months off them cold turkey. You know the story; started as one every few days and I was so full of smug that I could do that but before you know it you're up to a pack a day again. That was nearly a year and a half ago.
So after promising myself this year is my year to get healthy and as a result slightly more wealthy, I kicked the booze into touch, started running and the final biggest vice is the cigarettes. One of my kids has been recently diagnosed with an unpredictable form of asthma too so I need to do it for them as well as myself.
Not being a hero with the CT this time. Patch on and having the odd lozenge should the homicidal urges strike me.
Enough about me. Hopefully speak to you all soon.

I need to put on about a stone to get to what I want so I'm not too worried about the quit weight. I might regret saying that in a year however if my unquenchable lust for sugar in previous quits is anything to go by.

If it's your third time then you know very well that it's nothing to do with luck! As you said, "started as one every few days and I was so full of smug that I could do that but before you know it you're up to a pack a day again."
You said it right there!! Understand that breaking addiction is that hard, and that simple. You've been there, done it and you know the rules of addiction - like we all do:eek: It's all or nothing - SIMPLE
We're all here to encourage you though the ups and downs, but luck is nothing to do with it, it's all about mindset, and success is entirely within your grasp.
You are entirely correct AnEggIsAnEgg. That first cigarette that ends the quit is vile and nothing like you build up in your head. I'm keeping that in the forefront of my mind. It is addiction, nothing more, nothing less and the only way to break it is to never feed it.
Andy, I think that's an excellent word! If it doesn't exist it b-loody well should! I'm a nicoholic too... There's no way I can even have a puff again or I will be right back where I started.....
