Ben Echo, There's a difference between a set-back and a relapse. You've experienced a set-back, so no don't reset your quit meter. However, make sure you learn what led to your set-back before you keep going. Keep persevering! Danielle ________________________________ The SSC Support Team

Hi Ben, I wouldn't worry about resetting your meter. I'd be thinking about resetting your way of thinking if you're still referring to smoking in terms of a 'nice cigar or 2' or a'nice relaxing smoke'. Until you see it for what it is, I think you might have problems with your quit. Hope it works out for you Mr Ed [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 2/13/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 113 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,394 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �847.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 39 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

Damn it! I treated myself to a few mini cigars this weekend. I was feeling very run down and within the last 2 years I've emmigrated, separated from my partner and accepted a promotion at work. I was feeling a little strained and decided a nice cigar or 2 would be a good way to unwind. I wasn't craving at all. In my past quit attempts slips have always been down to the nice relaxing smoke at the end of the day and not an overpowering physical craving. I'm determined to climb back on the wagon and I really don't want to reset my clock to 0. Does this still count as a slip or must I go back to 0? I've not started buying packs and I haven't slipped back into my old "smoker's routine". It was a minor weekend hiccup (not drink related as I don't drink). Any thoughts, people?

Thank you all. Thanks especially to Butterfly's kind words and Shevie's downright full on but very nessesary wake up call. I guess I am trying to kid myself here. I still do want to quit so I'll take onboard your comments and try again very soon.

My original post was on the 5th and I've been having an occasional cigar since then while I take stock and re-think things. I am in no way the 20 a day smoker I was but I now think of myself as a smoker again. That being the case I've reset my meter and I'm preparing myself to quit for good in a few days time. I don't want to use this slip up as an excuse to get myself back into the habit so the sooner I try again the better.

Hi Ben Echo - I agree w/Lady... I do have a question for you: why in the world are you messing around with your Quit? Risky behavior, dear one, as you found out. As Pam said, take some quiet time and do some deep soul searching. If we want to smoke we will ALWAYS find excuses and reasons... That's easy. Quitting and staying Quit - hmmm - now that takes commitment, a powerful toolbox of coping skills, determination, well it takes alot. If you mess with your Quit - you will lose it.

Well said everyone, I think that the meter is a personal thing and just do whatever keeps you motivated. If it were me though I would reset it as it actually quotes "smoke free days".

This is a personal thing. I know that for me, on many occasions the only thing between me and nicotine was the thought of having to reset that meter if I slipped even once. That is a promise I made to myself at the start. One puff means I am not quit and my meter gets reset. Do what you feel is right for you.
