I smoked about 25 years, evolved to about 2 packs a day. Quit for 4 years, slipped and right back at 2 packs a day for last 1.5 years. I have tried on multiple occasions to stop only to last 12 hrs. to 9 days since. I am bound and determined to accomplish this. I need help and advice. I need someone to tell me it's ok to eat junk food! I have gained alot of weight I think because of my multiple attempts. I am now 30lbs. overweight. I know quitting again is going to add a few more. I am totally frustrated with myself because I have quit for 4 years before and I know first hand how wonderful it felt to be free. I also now know how slippery that slope of just one is. I just don't understand why the hurdle is so hard now, knowing I know the freedom! Where am I going wrong? Can any body help? I can't believe I joined a group. I just know I need help to accomplish this. My kids are grown. My youngest daughter, of 4 "kiddos", told me last night she is getting married! I want to see grandkids having kids. Also in 10 days I will start babysitting a 2 yr old and a 4yr old at the end of May. I know I got to get this out of my system fast! "healthy" snacks were a joke on my last real quit. Ice cream a few times a day and drive tru breakfasts helped me do it. Now I read don't do that. What's worse really? My family just rolls their eyes now when I announce a quit (because I fail so much) and make themselves scarce because a lazy demon comes out of me. I have one daughter who is already married that seems to be the only one who will come over,sleep over and put up with me. She gives me support by making strong catnip tea and making sure nothing goes out of balance. She seems to be the only one who hasn't given up on me totally yet....I called her a little while ago and said tomorrow is it. She said "I'll be there in the morning." She'll just veg out playing games on her computer until I start melting down. But she'll be here for my week. What can I do to make it this time. Please someone tell me if I eat a whole package of oreos or a box of cereal, that's ok. I know this is long and drawn out but actually it's short in my world. It feels like I'm surfing. I got up and let myself down and now I got get keep fighting to get back on that board again. Help please! any any advice is priceless. Tomorrow morning is it. I'm done come hell or high water!
