so I’m 53 days in and I slipped, having one cigarette… it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. I think our minds make it better than what it actually is.

Hi Stephanie Your so true its mind over matter. Lots of uas think we can get away with one cigareytte, but its normally a bad mistake. Try work out why you slipped up and how you could have changed it. was it boredom, or anger, or just a habit. have a read through the pinned posts for tips and information.

Your progress badge will stay the same as long as you dont re start smoking again. You CAN do this.

I slipped today too. I completely get what you’re saying. It’s just not worth it . I felt like I let myself down and it smelled sooooo bad. I didn’t realize just how bad cig smoked smells until I quit. It reminded me that smoke free feels better. We got this !! 😊

Hi Stephanie start again today !! 😊 stay positive remember why your giving up ? How far you’ve come ? Don’t let the nicotine monster 👹 creep up on you stay busy and try change your routine abit when you no your going to want one get up an do something different than what you would normally do when smoking 😊 the best thing is not to have even one .. . I no it’s hard and it’s easy to just have one but your doing so well Don’t give in !!! . Keep positive you’ve got this 😊💪xxx

Hi Stephanie, you found out it’s not good to have one but you’ve realised that for yourself. It’s a learning process and now you know, put it behind you and move on. You’ve done so well with 53 days smoke free under your belt, so be proud of that🚭💪👏 Looks like you and Fundy2 can be a great help to one another👍 Onwards and upwards and keep moving forward, you’ve got this🚭💪💃xx
