Smoked my last cig.

well, I started to smoke again last night. No excuses other than I just didn't try hard enough to resist, met up with a large group of friends I haven't seen in ages and we went to see guns n roses, back to the drawing board for me :(

I smoked one and it stank but not enough to stop me cadging another of my friend, I wasn't even drunk so can't use that as an excuse I had had a few drinks but enough to know what I was doing. I even bought 20 on the way home and chain smoked as much as I would have done before the few days I had stopped for :(.

Starting over again.
 
I am hoping you felt crap and that therefore 'something negative' can be held onto - to stop you dabbling again!
 
My tip to you is never stop giving up. I started smoking when I was very young and smoked for nearly nearly 40yrs before I gave it up. I tried loads of time to give it up and finally succeded and have now been smoke free for 7yrs this November.
 
Like nannyto9, I have smoked a long time, 50 years in fact! I gave up 10 days ago, with the help of electronic cigarettes. I still get the nicotine but can gradually wean myself to a low dose then a zero dose.
Do carry on trying, it is really really worthwhile! Good luck.
 
thanks everyone :) and well done to the people that have kicked the habit! I'm feeling a bit worried at the minute because despite my resolve that I had strongly all week I didn't even waver when it came to having a cigarette, I have to be totally honest I wanted it :( I know that it was early days in my quit for me to be out socialising etc but I thought that I would be able to handle it.

I need to totally change the way I think about cigs, I know deep down that I don't want to smoke, I don't want to smell of smoke or spend my money on them.

I WILL DO IT THIS TIME lol the caps are more reinforcement for me :)
thanks again everyone xx
 
Don't beat yourself up about it, it will happen when its supposed to. All the time you are putting yourself under pressure to do it you wont. xx
 
Hi
When I stopped it was just like a switch went on and I didnt want them anymore and it never bothered me, I stayed of them for 10yrs with no problems then when hubby died suddenly I didnt reach for tablets I reached for cigs and have been on them for 4 yrs again, I know for me that the time isnt right for me to stop but when you had the determination all week and done so well, I think its brill so good luck on getting of them they cost a bloody fortune lol xxxxx

I stopped the first time when my husband had a heart attack.When he died five years later I didn't even think about cigs, but two years later when I started clubbing, I found cigs were everywhere and then started again with a vengeance. It has taken me until now, 19 years later, to finally do it again, this time hopefully for good!!! When you want to stop the thought is always with you so just keep plugging away, and one day it will just be the right time!
 
Oh, I am so disappointed for you :sigh:.

It will be so worth it when you do finally give up. You would not take a bottle of paracetamol or drink a bottle of arsenic so you will not kill yourself with the filthy weed.

Thinking of you so strongly and hoping you can stay strong. I think all of us here really care.

Can your doctor help you ?? One of the girls on my little website was on a tablet that made it possible to stop.

Oh dear I do hope you didn,t think I was referring to you stopping smoking. It was meant for Bikiniqueen cos I know she will be disappointed in herself and I support anyone who wants to stop smoking even my DH who has tried so many times to stop.

hugs xxxxxx
 
thanks everyone for all the support :)

I am disappointed with myself, there isn't any point in me dressing things up and giving excuses because there really aren't any. I could have chosen not to smoke and instead I chose to not only ask my friend for some I then went and bought some more!

The more I think about it the scarier it becomes, I know how pathetic that sounds as in being scared of a cigarette but I'm hoping you will know what I mean.

I'm thinking seriously about the nrt route but being honest I think no matter what I try at the moment I'm going to faff it up because I'm falling out of the good mindset I was in :( I'm letting my concerns about gaining weight stop me from doing the single most positive thing I can do for my health.

Oh silly, billy. I am going to come and give you a little, light slap on the wrist.

You are doing SW so every time you get the urge to eat, grab a free food. Take a delicious nectarine, a free yogurt, a crunchy apple. Make up a box of crudites of carrot, celery, apple. Nibble instead of smoking.

I love your honesty. You do not hide behind anything. That is why I know you can do it .

Go girl !!!! Get of that mountain of ash and do yourself the biggest favour you can ever do yourself !!!

hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
:thankyou: aw thank you hun :) you're right of course and free food is amazing! I'm overthinking things that's the problem lol. When I'm smoking I'm thinking about quitting, when I quit I'm worried about overdoing the free food.

Too much worrying and not enough doing lol that's the problem :)
