Thank you so much guys, you are all so fantastic. I have to confess that I had a minor slip and have been dealing with the guilt for the past week. I have been lurking here every day and doubting wether or not to come clean. I think a part of me was hoping that my 1 month mark would go un noticed :( It doesn't help that almost everyone I work with has given me the advice that if I keep it to just a couple of cigs a day I will be ok, of course the junkie in me loved to hear this, but the better educated side of me that loves being a non smoker kept bringing me here everyday. In the past week I have had 7 cigs, after all that hard work :( It's crazy but another junkie thought I had was "everybody slips at least once so why should I be able to do it first time around" It's amazing what our inner demon will do to try and convince us. Well, today I got an all clear result from the hospital for a long running health condition that convinced me to stop smoking in the first place, so here I am guys, with my tail inbetween my legs. Sorry.
