Hi New me. I completely understand where you are coming from, I think. Everytime I see somebody (just this AM as a matter of fact) that has gone back to smoking, I panic. I believe it cannot be done and sooner or later I will fail to. BUT, then, I remind myself of all of the people around me still who are quit and never would go back. Most of them say because they don't want to have to quit again!! How True. Life hands us turns, we all deal with them differnely, so you are different from your friend, as I am from those I confront here. I does make me panic and feel afraid. I feel like I am the biggest addict there is, and if a lesser addict cant do it, how can I.
The one thing I can see, is the sadness in their eyes..they hate themselves for being smokers again, they are very sad. I try to remember that, sometimes I feel sad during this process, but it would be even worse if I started smoking again. I know, its happened before. Heaven forbid if it happens to me again, I will be right back on the quit train. I know, deep in my soul that smoking is something I detest, no matter how much the junkie in me trys to convince me otherwise. I want to be a non smoker, thats why I am still here. I wish you the best of luck, maybe you can now help your friend.
