I blew my quit but I'm back to try again!!

15 years ago 0 +0 / -0 67

Hi dasiegrl, glad that you are giving it another try. I also felt like a loser when I lost my last quit. I cried like a baby and really beat myself up over it.

I made the mistake of not trying again for about 5 years. Should have got right back on the horse as they say. You know that great feeling you get when you discover you're doing it.......keep on doing. That keeps me going along with all these great new friends that understand. Good Luck. Jo

You are never a loser if you are back trying to quit!!! You are a winner!!!

Don't get down on yourself, it's all in the learning curve of how to quit. Heck, I'd like to find that one person who quit outright the first time trying. Maybe they have a statue in a museum somewhere to commemorate him. LOL. We all learn as we go. We are all addicts and we have to just get in there and deal with it. Keep up some good self-talk so you get in a winning, positive zone.

Stay with us and we will do everything we can to help! Jim has great advice.. be sure to complete the program so you are ready to deal with those triggers. Family and stress is always there... plan what you will do if it gets bad. Have an escape route! Read old posts as much as you can, there are so many who came before us who had some great words to share. Really important are the rewards to kick start your brain "reward center". Plan out the good stuff so you have a cool, fun goal. My goal always involved chocolate but that's just me :).

Looking forward to your success in the new year!

You're not dumb, you're not weak, and you're certainly not stupid. I do agree with the addict part. Stay close and post often. The SSC is an army ready to attack this so called nicodemon.

Thanks you guys for your words of encouragment. Yes I need to spend the next two weeks planning as I did before. It's tough, this quittin deal, first couple weeks are something else as I remember. But I did it before and I hope to do it again. Like you said Rock, I need to find other ways to cope with stress and bad situations. I feel really bad I blew it cause I was doing really good. Thanks for being there all of you!!! Dasie

Hi dasiegrl The shame is in not coming back , in not trying. It takes courage to say we messed up. Looks like misery's going to have a lot of company New Years Day. Remember that as long as we don't smoke we'll never have to go through withdrawal again , ever. Welcome back. breather 36 Addict 0
