I cheated! =(

I have to admit - I cheated over the weekend! I had 2 cigarettes. I know I just need to pick up where I left off. So, the patch is back on and I guess I am starting over, although I don't like to think of it that way since it was only 2....any words of encouragement?!

Not the end of the world. Just get back on and ride into the smoke free sunset.

How long had you been quit? Now you know what trigger(s) could push you over the edge again and you can AVOID them! You might have been out with friends or hanging around smokers... whatever it was... now you know.

Good job geting back to the patch!

You slipped. I slipped a few times before I got so darn angry at myself for being a revolving door drug addict that I finally put a stop to it. Sometimes, that's what it takes. Key thing is, get back to your decision to quit and ASAP. And...Drown the rest of the pack in water AND crush them so you DON'T go digging in the garbage later to light up. Yep, I know this because I've done that and a whole lot worse when it comes to this addiction.

The good thing is, you can quit and stay quit...NO JOKE. You may slip a couple more times, and then again, you may not. If you do, start quitting again ASAP. Sometimes, the miracle of a final quit happens when we get sick and tired (and yes, even damn angry) of being sick and tired and damn angry that we keep trying to kill ourselves! 🙂

You can do it!
