Sparky!!!! That nicodemon has a strong hold on you!!! That's not you talking, that's him!!! So wrestle yourself free and get the hell away from that damned demon!!!! You DO want this quit! You are NOT going to smoke!!! Keep saying that to yourself! I have seen MANY people go back to smoking... both here and in my real life, and I have heard virtually all of them say they wished that they hadn't smoked, but I haven't seen ONE single person say "I'm so glad I went back to smoking! That was the best thing I ever could have done!" So you want to smoke? So what?!?! We are adults! Adults sometimes do things that they don't want to do because we know it's the RIGHT thing TO do... and quitting is DEFINITELY the right thing to do! You DO want this quit! I know you do! Right now, you want to smoke, but this desire WILL go away... but only if you stay smoke free! What in your life is making you want to smoke? What can you do besides smoking that will help you alleviate some of the stress in your life? Smoking is NOT the answer! The things going on in your life are still going to go on whether you smoke or not! You can hide from them for a while behind a cigarette, but they will still be there when you finish that cigarette. Here's what I want you to do. Read all of your reasons for quitting 10 times. You already posted here, so wait for 10 responses. AND, you must call/IM/email at least one quit buddy before you can smoke. Do that and if you STILL want to smoke more than you want to stay quit, then OK. At least you tried. But please, do NOT smoke without doing these things!!! I really hope that you will keep your quit, but my wanting you to isn't enough... YOU have to want to too. And until you want to quit more than you want to smoke, then there's nothing anybody can do to stop you. I wish you the best. Crave the Quit!

Sparky, Sparky The basics, remember them and why you decided to quit. Take a hot shower right now, go eat something, do anything. You have to know that smoking does not help any situations at all. Don't let your guard down, distract, don't dwell, and get your mind off of it. You can make this if you just say Hell no, go way, I don't need you. Use the self talk.

Sparky Have you gone over and thought about the reasons why you decided to quit smoking. I'm certain that they are still valid reasons. Go ahead and mentally recite those reasons to yourself over and over again so that they can be reafirmed in your mind.
