I quit smoking in Nov 2024 but I've just relapsed!

Hi,

It's been 3/4 months since I last posted on here. I was doing really well until recently, when I ran into some serious complications at work. I won't give you the whole story and just outline the gist of it: The agency I work through is about to be liquidated. They said that they can't afford to pay their associates, which means that as things stand I have lost 2 months wages, a considerable sum to me. My colleagues - a 100 or so - are also affected and we are currently working around the clock to rectify the situation and retrieve what we are rightly owed. It is, however, likely going to be a long process.

I currently have very little money and, as I own a property abroad, I can't even apply for Universal Credit. In fact, buying cigarettes is probably the last thing I should be doing!

My plan, though, is to smoke the rest of the packet I bought and then stop again. I think it's stronger if I put this in writing, and also I have found you helpful and encouraging in the past.

That's all for now. I welcome your responses.
