Starting over

[Sandi4]

Well, my June quit went down the tubes and I smoked all summer. I was too ashamed to come back to this site (even though I'd read countless comments by people who'd relapsed and tried again.)

But, I've started fresh and had my last cigarette on Sunday, October 12th at 2:30pm. I can't believe how much I think about smoking...it's ridiculous. But, my daughter paid me a great compliment last night. She said, "Mommy, you don't smell like smoke today." It's great to know your child no longer finds you smelly.

Looking forward to another smoke free day.

Welcome back!! You know the drill Sandi, it will be on your mind a lot at first, but it shall pass...You should be soooo proud to come back here, no shame whatsoever, you just decided to love yourself more. and smell nice!
The smell......so important, do it it for yourself,so you can live longer and know your grandkids!
Keep reading over here, i know it keeps helping me. Good luck to you! 52 days here! it is doable, no excuses!!

Hi Sandi, Good to hear you are back. Today I have
reached my 10 month smoke free mark. Really it is
just one day at a time. I quit several times before and
relapsed. Keep your guard up and don't have that first
puff. Stay strong ! Good to have you back.

Hey Sandi, thanks for the support. I see you are almost in the double digits too! 🙂 way to go.
Just wanted to recommend the group 'Relaps Traps'
It has taken me a long time to get to this point, and that group has been a real touch stone, because relapse is such a real fear that most people dont even bother to quit. Anyway, Its a good group with the hard core stuff that we all suffer before the dreaded 'slip' .
Thanks again for reaching out and offering your support.
