Hi Lamplighter,
 
As others have said, the important thing is that you jumped back on the horse and are willing and ready to ride once again!
 
Take some time to analyze what lead to the slip and ensure you have your coping strategies in place. Too often we don't plan for the unexpected stresses in life. We are here every step of the way and your determination and drive will get you through this.
 
Stay strong,

Welcome back Lamplighter!
As Sparky said, nobody can take away your nonsmoking days. These is a process, not an event. So keep your quit.
We need you here!

So glad you posted.  Just remember no one can take those smoke free days away from you-NO ONE.  For me it is a constant battle and it looks like you are back on the right the track.  So glad to see you here.

Hey LL, nice to see you! Sorry about the bad news, but so very glad about the good news. You know where to come to celebrate every milestone of that freedom, don't you! You can do it this time, you know that one is always too many, and a thousand is never enough. I wish you well Lamplighter, you were so very instrumental in my quit, and I hope you have found yours!

Thanks, all... but... I went back to it after a year and a half. That's the bad news. The good news is that on April 6th... I'll have three months smoke-free.
