Hi Emma, lovely to meet you and good luck with your quit let's hope this is the one for you
Can I ask what drove you back to cigarettes after quitting 18 months? I'm not picking fault whatsoever it could very well be me one day but I'm just interested xxx
Get into the mindset. You are there, have no fear, just stick to it. You don't know how strong you are. Believe in yourself. It isn't easy, as you know, but you'll get there, day by day.
Fingers crossed. Go for it girl. This is your time.
For smokers, I don't think there is The Last Cigarette - well that's what I think. I stopped on 11.112013, and kept on tormenting myself that I hadn't had my Last Fag, said a proper Goodbye, whatever! So, on 31.12.2013, I addressed The Last Smoke and smoked. It effected me badly, health-wise and emotionally. But the real take is that the ritual we were addicted to, after having gone through the initial cessation journey, just does not allow the same 'supposed smoking effect' as when we were habitual smokers because WE have crossed over. Who has experienced this can understand. You must rationalize it all. Because, the real low down is that not smoking is a win win situation.
Be strong
Hang in there - you are made of sterner stuff!
A valuable word of advice - address eating..... or the control of it before you pile on more than you are comfortable with.
Great place for tips, support, rants and whoops - all of us are having different experiences on different days, so there's always someone around who get's what it's like for you right when you need them to.
