I am so sorry you lost your quit.  Figure out why it happened so you can be prepared next time.  Glad you have quit again and you came back to Ex.  Good to see you.

Congratulations on 60+ days of freedom.  I am sorry that you had a relapse.  Maybe you will be able to help someone else not go through the same thing.  I see your original quit was in 2014. Hopefully, you will /blogs/JACKIE1-25-15-blog/2015/10/21/stay-connected

So sorry Sammy - you know how to do this - you had it once and you can have it again.  How is the family?

Ohhh, to lose a quit, that hurts, but here you are again, which is good.  Stay close and read and re-read your posts and others as well. You are doing the right thing.

Hi Jennifer,

You look great! Looking young.

Family is great. Thank you for asking. Little one turned 3 in December.

Sammy,

One of the reasons we advise people to stay close to the site is to help keep them on the right path.  I cannot tell you how sorry I am that you fell off the wagon.  I KNOW you can stay quit and Joseph deserves you safe!  It really is good to hear from you, I was just thinking that you must have a big anniversary coming.  I was a serial quitter so I will tell you not to beat yourself up, just PICK yourself up and know that we are here for you and will help you in any way that we can.

Hugs,

Ellen
