Help - I've relapsed too!

Hi guys

I am dreadfully sorry to save that I have failed.

I have been quit for approx 4 months but over the last week I have had about 4 cigarettes a day.

I have no idea why I have done it. I have been feeling a bit low lately and work has been tough. I know that it is no excuse and I don't know what to do.

I have not told anyone - not even my boyfriend as he would be devastated if he found out.

Please help me - I am really scared that I can't stop again!

Re: Help - I've relapsed too!

Hey Cheery--

I've been wondering how you are, and I'm sorry to hear that you have relapsed. But the truth is it happens to a lot of us. I relapsed a few weeks ago, and Invincible did a couple weeks ago for 1 week and now she's back on track, and both her and I are doing well and not smoking. You can just get right back on track, yes you can. You did it before and you can do it again. Throw out any cigs you have, or plan to finish up the pack that you have and say "that's it", no more. If you used the patch or gum, then you might want to do that again.

We're all here for you, don't forget.

DEDA

Re: Help - I've relapsed too!

You should feel great that you came back here, admitted to being human, and want to stay quit! I have, in the past, just said what the *(&^ and started smoking all over again. You can do it. Four cigs a day shouldn't give you major withdrawal. I started smoking once, two years after I quit. My friend was having 12 hour surgery and I felt like if I didn't have a cigarette I would burst. Unfortunately that led to four more years of smoking. It happens. Just be glad you can jump back on the wagon so quickly. I'm proud of you!!!!

Re: Help - I've relapsed too!

Ditto to Deda and Guilty's response. HOWEVER - just because I'm Laurie - here's a good smack upside your head Cheery - feel better now? LOL Ok - now that that's over with - ok - remember all of the reasons you felt so strongly about quitting? Where are they? Do you still have your list? Make one up if you don't have one and keep it with you.

I give you a BIG HUG for coming bk here - we know it's hard but hey - that's why there's a word called relapse - because it happens. LOL Just keep praying that he take away your desire, cravings, etc... I'm sure you realize by now that smoking isn't helping anything along and not making your work situation any better - you just are stinkier (my new word) now. LOL

So Cheery - subtract the days that you've smoked from your original days smoke free and get back on track. This way it's not like your starting over - you've just delayed it a bit. So smoke what you have (cuz I really don't believe you'll pitch them) and hopefully we're talking a patch not a carton and get back on track. If you were doing it cold turkey before, then prepare yourself. If you were doing patches or gum, then get ready to slap them on or chew em.

Be proud of yourself and do not let this relapse bother you - your stronger than that Cheery so take back your life. You're in control now. You're in my prayers

Laurie
