Slipping???

I like this quote I found somewhere: "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." -- Thomas Alva Edison I know I've sneaked "one puff" in the past and it has ALWAYS led to relapse. There is NEVER one puff for me, it leads to full time pack and a half in a shockingly short time. Whatever I call it, whatever excuse I make, taking one puff is death to my quit, and at warp speed, too. I suspect it's the same for most. But as you folks say here, everyone's quit is unique to that person. Great topic Free, it's so thought provoking.

Thanks everyone for your imput.There is alot of great stuff on here. If you are thinking about that 1 puff, it will diffently lead to a relapse. Does that mean you are a faliure, no of corse not. The importantant thing is to get up, dust yourself off, and try, try, try again. Learn from mistakes, and kick this nasty habit away. Love to you all. What a great diverse bunch of people you are. If you are new reading this there are always a dozen or so differant opinions here. So take what you need and leave the rest. Good stuff. Grace

If anyone is thinking about having 'just one' ... this thread should help to deter them. A slip can lead to a full blown relapse and usually does. So if you are craving and thinking about giving into your urge ... don't! Just DON'T! Hang in there. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Your life WILL be GREAT as a NON-SMOKER. Be patient ... it takes time ... but it WILL COME! PROMISE!

Friends, In the last few days, I have had some fleeting moments when I had a strong urge to take one or two puffs from any "real" cigarette! Very close encounter of "slipping"! :( However, I took one or two puffs from my NRT inhaler, instead, and that's it! :) Cheers, nmc [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 64 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 640 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $320 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 11 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

Once again Free you are right on. If having just one is a slip. That is a slippary slop.N.O.P.E. Not One Puff Ever, is the only way to quit. Rusty I was hoping to engage conversation about this, primarly to help those that are new, or the ones to think I can have one. You are so right, if you keep at it, eventaully you will get it. Learning from mistakes is very important. Grace

Ok I have alway had a hard time with this phrase. Something came up in another post, that made me relize that I just don't get "slipping" as far as smoking goes. I think of a slip, I think of slipping down the stairs, picking my self up, dusting off, and heading right back up. Maybe its just my junkie, but I think of slipping as tricking myself to have one. Then quit again. But from what I know that is almost impossible. So if you slip and have one, then smoke for a while, then quit again. Was that a slip or a failed attemped to quit. This addiction is very tricky, and coniving. I have seen lots fall off the quit wagon. Maybe they come back eventauly. But they relasped, not slipped? I am sure there are lots of opions on this subject. Please feel free, but please remember we are here to help. And Everyone has a very unique veiw on this. That is what makes this place so great.

Thanks Sparky, Your view is refreshing. I know you have struggled a bit. I appreciate your take on this topic. You are learning each time. Tell the addict to take a hike. You are stronger than it is. Your post above proves it. Free as usal is very perceptive to the deal. Right on Grace

I totally agree with you that smoking is smoking, but unfortunately, there's not a really good word for it. I don't think that having one cigarette and then going back to the quit is really a relapse. to me, a relapse is when you go back to smoking full time. Having one lapse of judgement is not a relapse in my opinion. However, I agree that the word "slip" is not a good word to use. I've tried substituting "screwed up" and "lapse of judgement" but those words don't always work in a sentence. "Slip" is an easy term to use because you can say slip, slipped, slipping, etc... but "lapse of judgement-ing" doesn't have the same ring to it. Perhaps we should come up with another word that doesn't imply that it was "an accident" as the word slip does and then all agree to use that word. Will that work? Crave the Quit!

I also don't think that a "slip" or even a relapse constitutes failure. Did Alexander Graham Bell fail at inventing the telephone? I mean, he tried hundreds of things that didn't work, but in the end, he succeeded and that's what counts! So to say that if you smoke, you failed means that the person is a failure and it's REALLY hard to keep quitting when you feel like a failure. Crave the Quit!
