Hey skidoo, It's not being stupid... the junkie got the better of ya... thats all. Just review the reasons that you quit in the first place. All those reasons are still there. Smoking one is just a small bump in the road. Don't smoke that second one... and you will be alright!

Oh and Skidoo Smoking, the addiction, the withdrawl, the craving and the acts of will power or lack of will power have nothing to do with Stupid or not Stupid. They have nothing to do with intelligence. So stop wasting your energy with that p$^%*$ poor self talk! Get up and get going!

Skidoo Give yourself a shake of the head. Flush the smokes or get rid of them or just don't go where there is smoke. You are not stupid! Think of your past, your husban and your kids and get back up! This is all very simple: You smoked. You say you want to quit. Then quit smoking! I know easier said than done. There are so many things that I can not do right now that it really makes me angry and sad, frustrated. I know that if I do these certain things, I will want to smoke. I am having a hard enough time simple keeping to the straight and narrow as it is I don't need to give myself situations where I will crave even worse. Learn from this experience and find what you need from it and in the mean time don't smoke. So as some have said here. Pick yourself up dust yourself off and get back on the skidoo on go. You get to determine what is right and good for you. I hope that you will stay here, stay quit and keep letting use know what is up with you. Peace to you Phillip :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 116 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,329 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $870 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 48

Hey, Hey, Hey.... Sidooo! No name calling. No one here is stupid. We are all addicts and we are all one puff away from a pack a day. The fact that you smoked a cigarette is not what is important now. That is done and it is in the past. There is absolutely NOTHING you can do to change it. What is important is what are you going to do with this new found information? Let's see... what did you learn??? How about One is too many and 1,000 will never be enough? What did that cigarette do for you? Absolutely nothing. Did it make your craves go away or make them worse? Did it solve any of life's problems? Nope. Did it make you feel better? Nope. The key word here is N.O.P.E. not one puff ever. That is how we all quit. Learn from this. You have now experienced what smoking one cigarette will do for you. Now experience what NOPE will do for you. You don't lose this battle unless you quit quitting. So stop beating yourself up and get back up on the quit wagon. Unfortunately, there will probably be hell to pay for that cigarette you smoked. Each time you smoke you send your addictive mind back to square one again. Reset that meter and lets' get going again. Kick the junkie thinking to the curb. You are in control. Take your life back from the enslavement of smoking. You CAN do it!
