loves2fish... Quitting isn't easy. Most of us quit several times before we finally get it right. To answer your repeat offender question, you are an addict addicted to nicotine. As an addict you can not have one puff EVER. Each time you reintroduce the nicotine to your system you are starting the withdrawal process all over again. When you give in to the temptation to smoke you are making it that much harder on yourself to quit. You are sending the message to your mind that it is ok to have "just one". Wrong answer friend. One is too many and 1,000 will never be enough. When your desire to quit outweights your desire to smoke, you will succeed. Make that decision before it is too late. One fact that has been proven over and over again is the fact that smoking will kill you.

shake it off; keep on quitting. I stayed home until I felt truly confident that I would not smoke if I went out to a bar. Then, the moment you knew that you were on the edge of lighting up?....LEAVE THE SITUATION! You can do it!

Let's talk a little about Non - Vs- Ex Smoker. Do you see a difference. I am not splitting hairs here. Just pointing out that one a smoker...always a potential smoker. Now, to the issue at hand: I am not going to feel sad for you as you feel sad enough about this slip for the both of us. I am going to tell you though that those above me here speak volumnes of that advice you sought. I think that after my marriage of 43 years, this stop smoking thing is my next proudest achievement. I rank it above being once a heavy drinking who quit. Thus, I am going to protect it. It is not a matter of time being quit. It is the fact that I was able to go say at least one 24 hour period without a smoke. Then, repeat that many-many times and we have my situation. Do not be impressed though. It really is still only one 24 hour period, if you get my drift. OK. Are you going to feel the urge to socialize stronger than the urge to remain smoke-free? Is that the question? Only you can decide. Congrats' on restarting.
