Yeah, like Rock, I had been smoke-free for 27 days when I started posting again. As you can see, my join date was July 4, 2007. And to be honest about it, I know that I joined earlier (I quit for 42 days in 2006), probably under another name. Waiting to post took some pressure off. We're not saying you have to do what we did. We just want you to know that "Never quit quitting" does not mean set yourself up for guilt and failure. SSC will be here for you.

Spacecas,

You have received excellent advice and input from fellow quitters - listen to them because they can totally relate to your current state of mind!

Review all your reasons for wanting to quit in the first place and keep them close by so that you can read them every time you feel weak. Take some time to understand your triggers and analyze what led you to slip so that you can develop better strategies.

We are here for you any time you need to vent or are feeling low. Quitting is a process and taking it one day at a time is the best you can do right now.

Stay strong and good luck!

Hi Spacecase!!!

I, too, am sorry to here about your slip. I know from reading your posts that you are a real worrier, but you just can't worry about this and put so much pressure on yourself!!! I think that you have been putting a lot of pressure on yourself to do this for your kiddos and family, but to get this done, you HAVE to do this for YOU!!!

I think that the Alan Carr book would be helpful to you... I can't remember if I have ever read that you have read the book, but it sure has helped a lot of our quit buddies here!

When you are ready again, POST before you make the effort to go to the store or what ever you do to find those nasty things! Wait for those 5 replies! It really does work! We're here for you when you're ready!

Jim

Spacecas, lots of good advice here. When it is your time you will know. Take as much time as you need to regroup. Really go through your quit plan. Remember to treat yourself like ROYALTY!!!! I like the idea of posting your quit date once you reach a certain number of days. If you go back and read my initial postings, I was a hermit the first month. I stayed away from smokers, I avoided friends, I did everything I could to keep me away from smokes. And for me, it worked. I told my friends that I couldn't go to a bar, restaurant, or their house until I was comfortable with my quit. If they wanted to see me, they had to come to my house where it is smoke free. Most had no problems doing that. Do what you need to do. This quit is all about YOU! Grab my hand when you are ready!

I sure do understand where you are coming from. I do so well and then out of know where I smoke again. Why??? If I knew I wouldn't do it. I have no words except don't give up on quitting. Once you can move past the guilt, you will focus again on quitting. That dam quilt, we are our own worst enemies. Like Breather suggested Allen Carr's book. I am reading it again and this time really reading it. It worked well for me before, but then I became all powerful and smoked. You hang in there and one day you and I can be quitters, one day at a time. ((((HUGS))))

Keep the Quit

Spacecas When the time is right for you to try again you will. If you haven't tried the Allan Carr book I'd definitely suggest it. The thing about the book is that you continue to smoke until you've finished the book so there's no pressure on you to quit. I don't think I would have been able to stop without it , in fact , I'm sure of it. Maybe the secret is to not be in a rush , to slow down and back it up a bit. You have a whole community on your side here so don't leave until the miracle happens.
