Hi everyone. I relapsed back in May. I have no idea why. Actually yes i do. I was smoking e cigarette and became allergic to the PG ingredient in the mix, i was SO BUSY i mean 50 hour weeks and personal stressors that i did not feel i could cope with going cold turkey again (how i originally quit). So ive been smoking for the last 6-7 weeks and hated every minute of it. So i dont know why today, i guess i was looking back at my old posts and felt really gutted that i was smoking again. I crush my fags, put them in the bin and flushed the rolling backy down the toilet lol I dont know how im quiting...whether im going cold turkey or whether ill use NRT...i just dont know. It was a passionate choice, not a well thought out one. But i think you can think and think and think and never know the right solution, sometimes just DOING is what you need.
So here i am. day 1. starting again. god....please give me the courage to fight this out again.

It's good to see a familiar user (even though it is under relapse circumstances). I relapsed a while ago myself. Then got to day 6 and had a wild night out so relapsed again. I am now back on track and on day 9. I'm using NRT (patches and spray) and I am somewhat surprised at the progress I am making. You can do this, you've already shown you can. Get back on that horse and back into the ranks of us quitters and you'll b back on track in no time.
Sorry but glad to see you back again, glad you have come back in times if trouble but sorry cos Nic made you do it.
It's so very very difficult, we can all relate to it, which ever way you think is good for you is the way to go, sometimes we need to change what we are doing half way through and that's oay, whatever helps us to get to where we want to be, look forward to reading your posts, keep it up :0)
Hi Nikki, and welcome back. Your story above is familiar to me even though I haven't experienced the hardened given up status that you have truly witnessed. you've slipped and you've also built up a reserve of months on not smoking. So you have some brownie points from yourself to yourself for doing that. welcome to the game, and you can do this again. respect yourself for what you are capable of. i'm looking forward to your progress posts.
