Quit for 48 hours then panicked having a hard time getting motivated again

Less than 3 days ago I had my first surgery. It went well no complications. Got diagnosed with a chronic condition endometriosis 😥 but I was expecting that. I quit smoking 8 hours before and made it 48 hours then just panicked. I don't even know what I was panicking about. I just completely lost it and started smoking again. I'm trying to quit again but now I just can't find the motivation to start. With my health it almost seems pointless and Im only 26. I know it's not pointless but I just can't quit feeling like it is. Any advice?

Hi Rina, pleased to hear the surgery went well, that's the most important thing.

Sorry to hear about the panic attack and the lack of motivation but that really is Nasty Nic fighting to keep possession of you.

You are only 26 and have your whole life ahead of you, don't let the devil control you. You are worth so much more.

Your health will get better but not with smoking, so when you're ready to try again remember we are always here.

Hi Rina, I'm glad to hear that the surgery was successful.I hope you're beginning to feel better.👍As Corrina suggested the panic attack was caused by nicotine mind games.

I understand how difficult it is to find motivation. I suggest you sit down and re-write your reasons for quitting,stick them on the fridge or somewhere you pass frequently. Start trying to focus on quitting again.Get your mind used to the idea again.😘
