What If ? Part III

It been quite some time since I have stopped in as I am very busy this time of year.
Nice to see some New People winning their battles one day at a time, Good job to all of you
Also nice to see the old support team still sharing and helping everyone along.
Nice new avatar working on it and congrats on passing 400 days
Heading out on my first camping trip with my Brothers who are still smoking.
 When I come back I will have 300 days as a Non smoker and a few more triggers conquered.
Have a Great smoke free weekend everyone.

My rmmate smokes

Hi.My other half still smoked when I quit so I can relate to your added stress.
Remind yourself of the importance of your quit and how far you have come.
Quitting is life changing no matter what the addiction is.
You may have to make changes in your lifestyle now to keep your quit and as you get stronger
you may go back to them but as a non smoker.
I believe in communication so I would let my roommate know how I feel and what I need.
If she is facing another demon it may help her as well.
Good luck and I hope you can help each other.

Almost 2 months!

Hi . I am lucky I just had to deal with my quit.
I did have a lot of feeling of not being myself and that I was missing out at times.
I also thought I had lost my way to settle myself when things were hectic but in fact
as I became stronger in my quit I also became more mellow in dealing with life's fast pace.
It really does get better. It is amazing how many triggers we accumulate through our smoking years
but it is possible to change them to fit our non smoking life  so we can enjoy the things we want to and discard those that we don't

Can people share their relapse stories?

Hi working on it . I have not been on here a lot lately.
I did see this post but was unsure how to respond to it as it kind of scared me.
I have followed yours and a few others quits from the beginning of mine and your posts and support gave me
strength in my quit. I have it in my mind that once I hit a year I will have passed all my triggers and life will be good.
A good portion of my triggers are hitting me now as I never smoked in my home so with summer came a time when I could enjoy
a smoke and often.
The curiosity thing is also playing on my mind like just for this one campfire I can smoke (NOT )
The fact that you have passed your first year and are thinking the same way started me thinking this will always be a battle and I do not want it to be.
I had never really quit before. I told myself a million times went I finished my last smoke on the way to bed that I was done and would not buy anymore.
Some days that would last till noon, some days longer but always too scared to give it up.
The majority of replies concludes that it is a nasty habit that can take over without even giving you enjoyment.
Your post has let me know I have to raise my guard a bit higher for a little longer than I thought.
