Every smoke free day you have is a smoke free day for yourself. Every one counts and every one is as important as the next. Keep the quit...one day at a time.

It says a lot about the addictive aspects of smoking how we seesaw back and forth between quitting and smoking. Right now we're all quitters and if I manage to be a quitter as much as I've been a smoker I will never smoke another cigarette and live to be an old man. 40 some years as a smoker and 40 some days as a non-smoker. Keep working that quit!

Hi Relapser Yes this is a great place with a lot of folks who want to see you make it in your quit. You can do this. You've been through this before so now you just have to decide that you've had enough. It isn't easy, but it is doable. Keep your quit. vicki just 1 puff away from 2 packs a day [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/17/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 94 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,790 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $658 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 18 [B]Seconds:[/B] 42

Relapser, You need to work out a plan for each of those items that "caused you to smoke" so they won't catch you off guard this time. That is one thing you can not afford to be at this time (off guard). Go and write down what each was, and then come up with 5 other ways you could have handeled it. And really write the answers, somehow seeing it in print is a very powerful thing. Then as you prepare to face each of those situations once more, go over your list, and get prepared. One of the folks on here told of how they faced their first night out by taking an empty cig pack and covering it with affirmitive statements like, "I don't smoke" "Not one Puff ever" "One smoke, one smoker" and lots of others. Then filled the pack with gum and hard candies and put it where the smokes normally reside on their person. That is called having your coping techniques lined up. So get yours ready also.

So far so good this time around. Minor smoke cravings have been about 2-3 per day nothing I could not manage thou. It's to be prepared for those socializing plus seeing others smoking situations that pop up every 2-3 months and catch me off my guard causing me to start up again. Been trying 2 quit for the past 30+ years. Last year best average was 95 days, year before that 64 days. Cold Turkey every time, plus help from this website. Best one I could find on the internet. As one web site stated "DON'T GIVE UP GIVING UP!" and I will not. :|
