So glad you have decided to give this another go. It really is the right place to be.
I've lost count of the number of times I've tried to quit. What I do know, is that during my relapses, the second thought after I light that first cigaratte is "now I have to quit again". I am just so tired of quitting. I just want to be done with it.
It is the best thing I could have ever done. I am happier, less angry and so very proud of myself.
Is it hard? Sometimes, like now - but I just keep my head down and say NOPE. I really don't want a cigaratte, I just remember a lot. They are just thoughts and they leave.
Stay here - read alot and post if you need help. There is a lot of really great people here. In 109 days we will meet on the beach, in fact...I'll even swim out to the cruise ship to meet you. OK?
Freedom 2010

I have been on this journey to be smoke free for over 4 years now. I have been a member of this site for that long and have publicly quit countless number of times. But always, when I come back, I am amazed that there is an outpouring of support for my efforts and from the same people time and again, and for that I am ever grateful and thankful. If it wasn't for those people, I wouldn't be here today - quit and wanting to stay that way.
These people have taught me quite a lot, but the most important thing I remember is to NEVER STOP TRYING, and I haven't.
If you are a newbie reading this, you will never be sorry that you joined.
