http://www.stopsmokingcenter.net/support/viewmessages.aspx?forum=1&topic=32616 Never forget your coping skills. Besides spending the proper amount of time recognizing why you slipped so you can overcome it, don't spend another minute dwelling on it.. Only allow yourself to think about your slip in terms of overcoming and succeeding. Keep the thoughts positive. Treat yourself with the amount of tough love and caring you would extend to someone else who had just slipped. Then hop right back on the quit wagon Ex-Slave.

Hi Ex. I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time. I can tell you that I completely understand. I have been there, right where you are, feeling like a failure and wondering if you will EVER be done with it. I have quit SOOOOOOOOO many times its almost embarrassing. The last time I came off of a TWO year quit!! So I dont think there is any magic number to get passed (probably not what you want to hear).All there is is the knowledge that you have done it before and you can do it again. And maybe next time will be THE time? Lets face it - everyone one of us here holds out the hope that THIS time is the Last time but many of us will slip those are just the odds. Please try not to beat yourself up too much - you've picked Wednesday and that is a step in the right direction. You can do this. I will be rooting for you! Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Hi again! I went and did some searching and found this thread you started some time back. Sometimes we just need to be reminded how good we felt! Hope it helps, Janet -slave 6/6/2006 11:44 PM Posts: 965 Joined: 5/14/2005 296965 As many of us, I have been a serial quitter for the past 10 years. I think the longest that I ever went without one puff was 2 months. I found this sight, but still struggled for the past year; clean for 2 months using nrt, smoke one; clean for 3 weeks using nrt, smoke 4; clean for 2 weeks again, using nrt; smoke 5. I could see where it was going. Not to mention the fact that I was keeping myself in a constant state of withdrawal. It was much better than smoking 1 1/2 packs a day, but I knew that I wasn't making the break with nicotine. My mother passed away the beginning of May, I smoked two packs over a weeks time and put them down again. Why do I feel different this time? It is the constant decision NOT to smoke. It is ALL mental for me right now. I no longer feel like I am just "holding out" until a sufficient amount of time has passed so I can rationalize smoking a cigarette. Sure, I feel like crying sometimes. I feel restless. I feel like there is nothing to look forward to at times. But, I do not feel like I would give my right arm for a cig right now. I've always felt that way in the past. I always WANTED a cig, but kept myself from smoking for weeks at a time. This time I can say that I DON'T want a cig. I want to go through the withdrawal, the depression, the introspection, the anger. I want to walk the journey and know what it feels like to start feeling better; start thinking about cigs less and less (until those thoughts go up in smoke and disappear) and finally experience the joy of being free.

Hi Ex. Wow. You have had a time of it lately. I'm sorry for your troubles - sometimes life REALLY just isnt fair. Do what you need to do to stay quit and stay strong. Don't worry about your meter. And before anyone jumps on that statement, what I mean is the meter is not your quit - its nice to look at and to see all the stats and yes it keeps some of honest but taking two days off is not going to make the cigarettes you smoked go away. You can't erase it. What you can do is learn from your mistake. Find new coping mechanisims - new ways to deal without the nicotine. For the next couple of days you might want to go back to your deep breathing techniques - like you said you are going to be craving all over again. I feel for you I really do. Keep you chin up and stay strong. If you are tempted again come here and reread some of your old posts - remind yourself how strong you are. We are all rooting for you!

well guys, I smoked a few cigs. First, my roommate broke my key off in my transmission and my car was down for 2 days. Then, my flipping wallet got stolen. Then the identity theft began. I had to make a million phone calls. I am not responsible for the charges, but it is worrisome. They have my address, social security number etc. Most recently, the theives opened a NEW account in my name. They charged two rental cars and STOLE them. Now there is a fraud alert attached to my name at all the credit reporting bureaus.Hopefully, this will take care of it. Then, I was helping my daughter pack all week end. She just graduated from college with her dance performance degree and decided to move to NY to try and make it as a professional dancer. She has been planning this for months. I am so proud of her for pursuing her dream; for her bravery to move to a new city on her own. We had a going away party Sat. I smoked a cig at her party (alcohol, blah, blah). The next day I called in work and helped her reduce everything she owns into 2 fifty pound suitcases, a carry on, and a back pack. She started crying about 10 pm, (which I expected). We had our very teary goodbyes at the airport. I watched her all the way through security until she was out of my sight. That is when I smoked again. The last 2 weeks have just been allll too much for me, I guess. I was so proud that I made it through the stolen wallet without smoking. She is an intelligent girl. She has a great place to stay with a good friend and auditions already scheduled. I just fear for her safety in the big city. I miss her so much my heart aches. I see her sweet face in my mind. I am going to take two days off my meter, forget about it and move on. I am a non smoker, *%^$#! Gosh, it can sneak up on you so quickly. I will say that I was not cocky about my quit, but i definitely was feeling much more confident that I would not smoke. This is the furthest I have ever come in this jouney. I am not about to go back. I have not had that many things go wrong in my life, nor that much stress in years. I failed at that critical moment to empower myself with those all important coping skills. I am still shakey, disappointed in myself, and, of course, cravings. Please, just send a few positive thoughts my way. [B]My M
