WAS doing well

Hey all

Im having a hard time giving up the cigs... Im usually over on the OCD message board but smoking is almost as much as a problem! 23 now, been smoking for about 3 years (at some points heavily). I was really ill at christmas with flu, so it was the perfect time to quit... and I did for 3 months. One drunken cigarette when I was out one night messed up all my hard work. Does anyone have any advice about relasping and such? I'd do anything to feel healthy again, but that evil nicotine craving gets me everytime. It makes me feel real weak when I give into it. I just feel bad lecturing my younger siblings about smoking. Think its time I should take my own advice.

Re: WAS doing well

Don't feel bad about going back this is my third try at it I haven't smoked in 2 weeks now and giving it up was so very hard this time. Aside from the craving I had terrible withdrawal symptoms that I almost started again but than I remembered my inspirations, my son, my friends who are battling much worse demons and it gave me strength. Everyone has a fall as long as you dust yourself off and keep trying you've got nothing to be ashamed of.

Re: WAS doing well

yea just like Liamsmom says, pick yourself up, dust yourself and try again. i was doing great for 3 days, then today i smoked one cigarette. I have fibromyalgia plus a whole lotta other health problems. but the fibro is in flareup mode right now, my feet are hurting so bad i can barely walk, i feel like im nothing but pain and Jenetti is lost way way deep inside it somewhere. Like im not living with pain, but pain is the major personality and in between somewhere deep inside all those different levels and severity of pain, i exist. So , while in tears from the pain, i smoked one, and puffed in between tears of pain and tears of feeling like a loser for giving in to it. but after my cigarette, i got up and slowly and carefully walked to my cabinet where i keep them, and crushed the rest into peices. i know i cant drive right now and go get any since i can barely walk even inside my own home, so im hoping i can dust myself off again, and tomorrow is a new day, a better one since i dont have any more cigs in the drawer to make it easy for me to grab one out of pity and pain and smoke it. but, we're humans with weaknesses, but we also have strenghts, and it gave me a sense of power to crush them and throw them away. so , dont get too down on yourself for missing the mark once, you know and understand that you did something you wished you hadnt, you gave in , but like i said tomorrow is another day, another day to prove to yourself (and myself) that we are also strong.

Re: WAS doing well

You should not beat your self up for slipping! I started taking Welbutrin and went on the patches and have been off of cigarettes for 14 days now. I am so proud of my self! I was always sick with bronchitus and I just lost my Mom back on March 28, 2006 to **** and I got to thinking I did not want to end up like my poor Mom did because I took care of her and she died in my arms. I look at it this way, my Family is more important to me than them cigarettes any day. I have a GrandDaughter that loves me dearly and I would like to be around to see her graduate and get married some day. So don't beat your self up for slipping, just start over again and keep the good work up. I know it's hard, but we all can do it.
