i've been in this position myself recently, i felt really bad, but once i came back on here, what a difference it made, i'm much more positive this time will the help of all the wonderful people on here
Nice to meet you. I'm not as polite as you. I was introduced to the site in June by my stop smoking councillor then like you I relapsed but I didn't ask if I could come back this time, I just did As Pete said, I am so common no manners what so ever, isn't that right Pete?
Good luck with quitting smoking Dawn, as you know everyone here is so supportive and friendly and I certainly wouldn't have got this far without their support.
Of course you can come back. You are more than welcome and remember that we are all here to help each other out
Can I just ask you a couple of questions so that we can see where you are at?
How long did you manage to stay stopped for, the last time around?
What was the reason(s) that you went back to smoking?
Did you start off by having the 'odd one' or did you go back to smoking on a full time basis?
How long have you been smoking again for since you went back on them?
How many are you smoking each day now?
Lots to think about there, I know but hopefully it will help to plan towards your next quit attempt.
Don't be too hard on yourself, just look at what happened during your past attempt and try and learn from it so that you can ensure that the same thing won't happen next / this time around.
Remember, that by sharing your experiences you will be helping others who may not like to ask and in turn we can all help you.
Glad it's not the wine, we'd have to refer you onto another support site
Seriously though, it's a common thing when it comes to most ex-smokers just trying the 'odd one' with a drink. Then this 'odd one' soon creeps back up doesn't it?
As you have decided to use patches, will you be paying for them yourself? Have you thought about using your local stop smoking service or your pharmacy may also offer stop smoking support too. That way you could get any of your NRT on prescription and start saving a few pounds. It may mean putting your quit date back a couple of days but at least it will give you some time to plan ahead and prepare to quit again.
However, if you feel that you can crack on from this point on, then let us know and we'll support you all the way. Maybe have a little refresher over one of our old blogs and see what you think;
If you do want to be referred into your local service, or would like me to find out if there is a pharmacy local to you where you can get the extra support, just let me know
Remember also to start practising those different types of breathing exercises. This way you can use them quite easily when you need to fight off a craving or to help you relax a little bit
Sorry you relapsed gal, but your not the only one because i.ve just quit again for the 4th time now, am on my 11th day so far hey that means i wont be the last any more on the wall of winners
