As long as you don't light up, ignore those little stupid things. In the future, try not to even play smoke. Staying stopped is the goal, and you are still stopped.

Deb - be so proud of your accomplishment......we all do dumb things....do things we don't understand.

CVdeb,
 
Great drive and determination!  Sometimes you have to look it right in the face before you realize, and realize you did!
 
Thanks for posting with us and congrats on those 77 days!

 Stupidity got the better of me today (says she who is not logging in enough here!).  I put a cigarette in my mouth at my mom's house!  I didn't light up.  I just let it sit there while I thought long and hard about it.  It felt really weird.  And slightly naughty.  Titillating.  Repulsive.  Makes me wonder a bit if there really is such a thing as the Devil.
 
I threw it away all slobbered over but really gave some hard thought to lighting up.  Of course the old thinking came along: you are doing so great!  You don't even have many cravings anymore!  I bet you could have one. 
 
But I know that I can not only have one.  One is too much, and a million will never be enough.
 
So I'm posting.  I'm proud of how far I've come.  I'm so happy with the energy I have, and how I smell good again.  I kinda like the whole breathing right thing.  And no more cough where people are thrusting glasses of water at me.  My skin is pink and healthy and not a sickly gray.
 
However, with that one stupid decision, I'm having cravings again like crazy.  I know what to do.  I also know I'll never do that crazy stunt again.
