I relasped! Please comment to help a stressful situation came along.  Dealing with CPS.  Will i ever QUIT

[Jennifer-Quit]

Sorry you relapsed.  Also sorry but what is CPS?  I don't know enough about you to give good advise except read and educate yourself about this addiction.  Smoking does not help with any of our problems - only adds to them.  Best wishes.

Anyone and everyone can quit smoking. Stress happens to everyone...as a matter of fact...stress is life. Stress only stops when we're dead. So, I advise you to read everything you can about quitting smoking especially go to whyquit.com and read about stress and quitting smoking.....you may be surprised.Stay Strong

Well, ok, you relapsed.  So what did you learn and what will you do differently next time a stressful situation arises?  You must learn from the lesson, otherwise it's a meaningless lesson and that would be a true waste.  Lessons are there to teach us something.  So think about what you learned from it and make a course correction.  And just get back to your quit.  Begin again, keep reading.  You might specifically do some reading in the  Relapse Prevention  group.  There a lot of good material in there.  You can also type 'stress' in the community search box and start reading through some of the material that presents itself.  Chin up and keep at it.

I am sorry you relapsed, also sorry for having to deal with Child Protective Services.  Hoping you can get everything resolved, and please read the indicated blog collection. 
​Get yourself ready for another start day and do it. 
​
​If you've been smober for almost one month, then you know the ropes, all you have to do it set your mind right and quit. 
​
​We will be here to cheer you up, hoping you can make your next quit your last!  And if speaking about the problems going on in your life right now might help, please do that too.  We are all here to listen, we can't always advise, but chances are one of us might be able to, and if not, just speaking about it can help!

DiamondB  Really sorry that you relapsed and certainly sorry that you are dealing with CPS, clearly, I do not know why.  I DO know that smoking is not going to help anything...it is not going to make it easier to deal with anything that life may throw in your direction.  Your addiction is going to tell you that it will but you know better.  We are here, we all want to help you, we want you to be free and we want you to feel stronger than you do right now...please stay as close to the site as you possibly can.
​Hugs,
​Ellen

You relapsed. You recognized it as same. You came here. You obviously don't want to be a smoker or you would just smoke on and not even mention it like I did when I relapsed in October. Stick close. Post. Drink water. Walk, Whatever you have to do, but don't smoke. 

[DiamondB]

Thank you ALL for the support.  And guidance i really appreciate it.  I am going to start Journaling soon and increasing my physical activity
