It's okay, Specky. I have returned after a quit of a couple of months as well (twice, actually!) Come on, we'll all hold hands and make it through together! Don't beat yourself up, just jump back on...atleast this time you are going into it knowing what to expect. Hang on..................

Hi Specky the important thing hear is to concentrate on getting back on track. Learn from this and move on....do you really want addicted once again?, to be a slave to the tobacco once more? thats what you've got to decide....remember why you quit in the first place....get your motivation back and your pen out and start writing down a few facts. Why did you start again? what did you think you would get from smoking again? whatever your answer is is what you need to work on. You'll get there you can do it! Just decide you will no matter what and once your desire to quit is stronger than you're desire to smoke you'll be fine. its not going to happen overnight and you've had a set back but so what, learn from this, dont wallow in negative emotions....after all in the long run if you stick by your quit its just a little hickup along the way. you have seen how easily you can be sucked back in & felt the destructive emotions that accompany it. Just remember N.O.P.E one day at a time.......

Hi Specky - hang tough ~ feeling icky is hard, but it's a lttle easier not to smoke when feeling horrible. I hope you feel well again soon and stay away from the fags (they are SOOO bad for you!). Take good care and let us know how things are going. Fight hard.

Hi Specky, Welcome to the site. Take a minute to take a few deep breaths....you sound overwhelmed. You mention the odd "one or two" fags here and there. Was this while you were using the patches? Or only after you came off them? If it was while you were wearing, that could have been quite dangerous. If it was after you found out you were allergic.....well, perhaps you could try the nicotine gum? or the inhalor? If your real set on using NRT. Remember though, that NRT is not a magic pill. It won't make all the syptoms go away ....it's only an aid :) Somtimes you have to go through a little pain to get to the other side. Trust me....you can do this. It is possible. Hundreds of people on this site can testify to that! But you have to want it with all your heart. You have to dig deep and find that little "extra" if times get tough. Read through the site. There are many tips and lots of helpful information that can help you. Let us guide you through. There will always be someone here that you can relate to ......someone who is experiencing the same as you, or at the same point in their quit as you. Stay close and hang tough :) Rachel Two years, six months, one week, six days, 18 hours, 1 minute and 22 seconds. 18515 cigarettes not smoked, saving �4,165.69.

Specky, Get back in there and get those coping mechanisms out! It is hard to start again but you can do this :) Use distraction and those coping skills to push those craves to the curb. How can we help you? Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
