Vurt,
Get back to being quit as fast as you can!
I did the same thing - quit in July 2001 and started again 9 months later.... as you can see, it took me years to get back to being quit.

Vurt, you have to quit again right now, leave it any longer and it is going to be much harder. Do what you want with the quit meter, whatever motivates you to stop and stay stopped - that is all that matters.

The same thing happened to me, and I know how horrible you must be feeling! What's important is that you're back here and resolved to quit again, instead of letting it drag on for months or years of beating yourself up for slipping.
It will be easier this time because you KNOW you can do it - you've done it before. Just resolving to quit again is the hardest part, and you've done that. So tomorrow when you want your morning cigarette, remind yourself that you aren't going to postpone your quit, not even one day! I've had soooo many "last cigarettes" over the past three months, but not one of them was satisfying enough that I felt like I'd never need another. You've just gotta take the plunge.

It never ceases to amaze me how someone quit for so long can go back to the horrible enslavement of smoking. After the taste of freedom I cannot imagine stepping that far backwards in time. I sincerely hope I do not ever have that weak of a moment. I know it is always possible because people like you tell us so. Thank you for reminding us that we are forever addicts and must always protect our quits.
I hope you find the strength to go at it again. It is a tough road to travel. Best wishes.

Vurtgamecat,
Thank goodness you managed to recover your quit. Know that you will be vulnerable to those junkie thoughts for a while.
I want you to remember how evil this addiction is...how it whispers to you every now and then. Do not entertain or romanticise thoughts of smoking - you know you hate it when it has it's hands over your throat.
Kudos to you for getting back on the wagon.
Lizzie
