I just read your post. I wish I could tell you how to avoid relapses. What I can tell you I have had several. Each time I relapsed I learned a whole lot more about this addicition, that's right addiction. Boy I can tell I sure did hate that word!!! Me an addict, no way. Yes I am an addict. I am addicted to cigarettes. Each time I picked up that cigarette and smoked it I felt like a complete failure. I knew exactly what I was doing and did it anyway. If you are wishing for an easy way, sorry there has to be some effort put into it.
This site has kept me focused. They have helprd me pick myself up and kept me focused on my quit. There are many aids out there to help you. I have tried the NRTs, herbal remedies, Zyban and reading Allen Carrs book. Right now after many attempts to quit I am doing this quit cold turkey after reading Mr. Carrs book. Whatever method you use, the bottom line is "do you want to quit?" It is pretty clear to me others have had an easier time than others. Your quit is yours, do not judge yours with others. Believe me it will only get you off track. Own your quit, ask for help, read, post and be proud.
