Welcome back! There's lots of us here who did the same thing. In my case I just wanted to smoke (any excuse would do). We need to approach this with a positive, prepared attitude. We're really giving nothing up while gaining a whole new (healthy) life. If you really want to quit, you will.

Promise!

Hi again everybody.

So here I come again, trying to get through day one, again. I need to change my quit meter after I post this. I stayed quit for one full year, and then in April of last year (about a month after I had neck surgery) I was at home recovering, bored, troubles with my marriage, and I gave in to it. Well, maybe it's more honest to say I made a decision that I was not worth being a non-smoker. I believe my thinking was, something along the lines of "I deserve to get to smoke". So stupid...

So here I am, hello again everybody :) My last smoke was this morning on the way to work at about 8am. I am chewing the nicotine gum. I smoked the last one in my pack and just decided not to buy any more, and here I am.

It's hard to start over. If you are thinking that working for your quit is not worth it, or if you are finding yourself feeling like you "deserve" a smoke, don't. I was so proud of myself that year I was quit. I chewed the nicotine gum for about 11 months and had been even free of that for one month before I picked up those nasty cigarettes again.

I'm looking forward to getting comfortable with all of you here again. Thanks for listening.

Jen
