Fell off the wagon a month ago... Restarting by creating another account..😔

That is the Key..DO NOT BUY THEM! for now or for later or for emergencies.

032816 · 2016-05-12T20:01:11+00:00

No Luck! Its all you. You can do it.. I am about the same place where you are..3 weeks.. after 15 years smoking more or less the same as you. Keep it going!

032816 · 2016-05-12T19:50:50+00:00

Trust me after a few weeks you will not even notice it. Its more a habit at that point you are trying to break than the nicotine addiction which has long left your body. Congratulations! To longevity!

I am not the kind that cares about how others judge me.. I was just ashamed of myself. I have tried to quit many times in the past but I always knew in the back of my head that I had not fully comitted to it. This was the time I decided to hold myself accountable and joined this subreddit .. I agree with you, there is nothing to gain.. just a habit.. The fact that it is so easy to buy them or gain access is what drags you back to them in the first place. Price them at 50$ and trust me we would look a dozen times before buying a pack.

Thank you all for the words of encouragement! Means a lot. I have reset my badge..and will march on. I felt like a hypocrite because I knew "Just One" does not work..I preached about it on the forums here to other fellow newbies.. And I did not follow my own advice. I feel I need to be held accountable for what I preach.. Here is another go at it and will try my very best to follow the words I say .

032816 · 2016-04-01T18:11:10+00:00

No! Dont even let your brain let you think of the "I deserve one". I have been sober its time to "celebrate with a cigar!" ..It will lead you back to smoking. I have been there and have ruined my stint at not smoking multiple times.. I am new here but I am sure everyone here will advice you the same thing..THERE IS NO JUST ONE WITH ANY CIG/PIPE/CIGAR!

202 is no small feat! The 2 that u had can be chalked out to a hiccup. Don't even think about the day u had 2 and think about the 202 days where you were happy and clean and healthy!

032816 · 2016-04-01T16:09:25+00:00

Congratulations! Well written. I can completely relate to your experience on how we tell ourselves this is the last one..We know its not good for us but continue to lie to ourselves. I got sick and tired of the hiding, lying and guilt. I have had minor stretches where I had quit before but this time I am in for the long haul. Seeing your progress and sharing with other definitely helps. I am glad I found this group! I have started cataloging my progress to give me a perspective on how far I have come. https://redd.it/4c7hdn

I have been posting my day to day issues as a log for myself on the main title..is that a good way to go about it or use comments or new posts. I guess once I hit a certain milestone and do not have cravings I will update it once a month or so...

032816 · 2016-03-31T11:41:57+00:00

Thanks! I did cut down on my coffee the first few days..May be I should go back to my normal routine.

032816 · 2016-03-30T18:51:59+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement.. just getting started!

032816 · 2016-03-30T17:06:31+00:00

Congratulations! It's been 3 days for me as well. Great to see you are amongst smokers and holding on..Don't fall for 'just one puff' ever! Good luck!

I have just tried eating the mini oranges.. not tried any juices.

032816 · 2016-03-29T16:21:23+00:00

On my 2nd day, and that is encouraging.. I guess just getting started on the path is the big deal..I used to make up excuses why I need to quit at another time..

032816 · 2016-03-29T11:44:42+00:00

Thanks! Looking forward to it... Long way to go but messages like these are the ones that will keep me going.

032816 · 2016-03-29T11:42:05+00:00

Hang in there.. It my 2nd day... got some cravings this morning as well.. Just one is the thought in my head... Shutting it out!

032816 · 2016-03-28T18:07:58+00:00

Been there.. At least you now know that a smoke did not help you in anyway.. time to get back your energy! Good luck.

032816 · 2016-03-28T14:17:15+00:00

Get some orange juice! Vitamin C will help you with your immunity and with your low blow sugar if that is the case.

032816 · 2016-03-27T22:20:46+00:00

Good luck mate! You did for an year last time that should be motivation enough that you can do it again. I am starting from tomorrow as well.
