I read your post earlier today, but didn't have time to respond. I have been thinking about you and your "slip". Several people on this site know all about my "slips"/"relapses". Can't say I am proud of them and I would never recommend someone to quit the way I did. I am not a role model when it comes to quitting. But I can say I am a role model on never ever giving up. Why I had so many "slips", I just wanted to see if I could get by with it. I would think "oh I can have one, who would know." The monster knew and he/she loved it. Or I would think this is just to dam hard and I WANT TO SMOKE, DARN IT!!! (different language eg:) I could go on and on but I am sure you get the drift.
This addiction had a grip on me and it just didn't go away. There are so many tools out there. You could call your doctor, you could search the web on quitting, you could and should work the tools to the left. There are so many options, the biggest is the willingness to quit.
I got so darn sick and tired of coming here and telling everyone that I had "slipped." I am sure I let many of them down, but not nearly as much a I had let myself down again.
We can help, but you have to do the work. You control the fact that you are the one and only one who lights up and smoke. Just don't ever and I mean ever give on quitting. You are so worth it.
Keep the Quit
