All I can offer is this...do not worry about what anyone else is doing. You do what you need to do to be successful. It may be easier said than done, but really do try. If reading that someone has slipped and chosen not to change their quit date, just move on from that thread. Don't let yourself get upset about it or start to think that you can do the same. We are all different. In my opinion, this is the addict in you talking...you're looking for an excuse...just DO NOT give in to it. And you know what...being angry is part of this process for some people. Acknowledge it and try to figure out why this is bothering you so much. Then you can move on with YOUR quit which is all that matters.

This site is supposed to be about support, not about comparisons between quits. I know I have read about others who have not felt that quitting was that difficult once they set their mind to it...I could take that and start to think that maybe I wasn't ready, maybe I should keep smoking because when the time is right it will be easy for me too...but where would that have gotten me. It wasn't easy for me at all, but I am happy for those who had a different experience than me and I truly value their perspective. That's what we need here...differing experiences and insights. One of the things that I LOVE about this site is that everyone is so respectful of others even though I know its not possible that we all agree on everything that is said or done by others.

These words are meant to encourage you and everyone else on this site, so I hope that came through.

Hi Sparky I'm going to post to this before I go and be quiet....... I failed again........ I just want to say I understand your feelings, you have learned that those lil puffs or just "one" pretty much at some point ends your quit, so don't you dare ever take one puff cause I have watched you on here for a long time now and you have really Fought hard for your last quit here, don't lose those days. I keep wondering if maybe I should start over with a whole new name so that I can forget about those 9 months I had quit cause now I want it back so bad but it's over I blew it. I won't change my name cause there's too many good caring people here that I don't want to lose touch with and you are one of them. I'll be here watching and reading but I posted in my other post that I'm not going to post anymore until I finaly make it thru Hell week, the 3 day mark seems to be my downfall. Sorry for rambling on your post, I just wanted you to know that I truly believe that you are at your last quit and that you give me the hope that one of my quits will be last quit.

I debated on whether to post or not because I do not want to cause a big blow up nor do I want some to feel uncomfortable. All I want is for everyone to have the last quit so for me to keep this I need to get rid of my negative thoughts. So here it goes.

Man my heart is racing. This is about me and my quit and how I have to deal with this. I have trying to quit for over six years now and I really want this to be the last. I have done and used about everything to quit. I have read post after post after post, but when I read those where some have smoked and changed their quit date by a day or not at all does me in so darn fast. The thinker starts by telling myself you can do that they did it and they are okay, right? Are they I don't know. What I do know is I have tried that and failed every single time. It makes me sick, it makes me a liar, and it makes my quit time dishonest.

I am sitting at 76 days now and today I am fighting with everything I have to not have just one or just a puff. Again this is what is going on with my quit and I try not to judge others. Thanks for the ramble. I will check in later. Love you all.

Keep the Quit
