I am really, really surprised, shocked, stumbling around looking to understand.
WHAT IS SLIPPING?
To me slipping is smoking. Plan and simple if I buy, beg, borrow or steal a cigarette, light it, drag the smoke into my lungs. I am smoking. I am smoking ... I have two choices, continue to smoke or quit smoking.
I only hope that if I slip I can get back on the quit and move on. I also hope that in getting back on I will have learned something and that out of the learning I can do different and get on with living the life I want to live.
To me hearing someone say that they have "slipped" is like they are in denial.
Please come here post, read, talk to someone in your world about how close you are to smoking. Have an emergency plan worked out for going in the opposite direction of the next smoke, the next puff. please please do what you can and DO NOT SMOKE. And if you do smoke please be truthful, be couragous and tell the truth. This community is built on the trust that becomes manifest when people tell th truth about their addiction and the truth about their lives.
