No magic wands, or bangs on the head, but some advice... You can do this - and if you stopped before, you can stop now. And this time, no more smoking - no more excuses - smoking is NOT an option!!

Hello Appletree, Wow, you didn't smoke for 6 years--that's impressive! Too bad you started again, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Today is a new day and it sounds as if your choices are going to keep getting better from now on. It seems to me that you have an advantage with this quit, because you know how good it feels to be a non-smoker. Remember the freedom you had as a non-smoker? You could go where you wanted without worrying about any place being smoke free--remember how wonderful that was? All those good memories will start coming back and the stronger those memories become the surer you'll be that at heart you are a non-smoker. Like you, I have a crazy stressful life and can understand how you could use that as an excuse for smoking--I've done that myself. The longest I've stopped smoking in the past 50 years was for 8 months. I used the excuse of extreme stress to start again, so I'm really impressed that you quit for 6 years. I wish you the best in this quit. This site is very helpful, so keep checking in and the people will give you all the help you want.

Appletree, Welcome to the SSC! Please take the time to work through the online quit program. There is a section particularly dedicated to dealing with stress. You will have a chance to plan out how to tackle cravings and other triggers. Our forums are equally a great ressource of quit information. If you have any questions, just ask.

Hi Guys, I've just joined the centre and I really want to stop smoking. I stopped smoking for 6 years and restarted again last year. I'm fed up of being so trapped by my little box of ciggies and I always feel unclean because of the smell. I've a crazy stressful life and have used that as the excuse for going back smoking, but smoking hasnt changed anything, I suppose its made it even worse. I really need motivation and a bang on the head or a magic wand. I hope you'll help me to stay strong and fight the urge. XX Apple
