I am back. I have set a new quit date and started tracking my cigarettes. My new quit date is Sept 15th.

OK Barb, I know I do not know you that well but I am confused. You had quit for what looks like 42 or 43 days, came clean on the board and have not been here in like two weeks, even after reaching out and have now set a new quit date two weeks from now. OK listen I am not trying to be a bitch I just am. lol no but really I am trying to understand you and where you are coming from. I have been so struggling the last few days and keep telling myself nope because I know it will not be just one cigarette. And I think even harder than the physical nicotine addiction is that I have relearned living without the cigarette in my hand at certain times, I believe I have unlearned the habit but I am still arguing with the demon. Make sense? So anyways to me it seems like by putting it off two weeks, you have 2 more weeks of reassociating the habit, not good. Then again I could be way off base, maybe you are like 24 and smoke half a pack, idk.

No I am not 24. Ijust turned 58 on Tuesday. And yes I smoke about 1/2 pack a day. I am cutting myself back again before I quit. I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. I have just start a new job in which I have six weeks of training. So I have to do what works for me.

No no misunderstanding. I was just curious. Do what works for you, I would just find that so difficult. However before I quit I was smoking a pack and a half a day and I am 36. Just curious again, is half a pack your cutting down or what you usually smoked?

That is what I normally smoke.
