This is the post that I needed to read today. I quit on feb 14th (this is like my 16th time quitting, btw :p) and then I went on a cruise on march 5th and told myself i could smoke for those few days because i was on vacation. when i got back on the 8th i made it though the week without any but then the weekend came and i had a couple on both friday and saturday night. I know it probably sounds like i just don't really want to quit yet but i do. i feel horribly guilty the next day after i've smoked and i worrty about the next time i am out and want one because i have been giving in so easily lately. haven't had one since saturday and it looks like it's tuesday so i am about 3 days in. doing ok and feeling fine. i haven't been a daily smoker for a long time - i want them when i'm out (especially if i have had a drink or two). but i have managed to quit before and i know i can do it again. just having some trouble staying committed this time.
i don't really have too many words of wisdom to offer (as you can see, i have tried to quit many times before and though i have been successful in the past, i have always started again). i wish i could simply remove the desire to smoke from my brain, but in my experience there is no foolproof way to quit. it has been at least a little hard each time i have tried and it is especially hard this time, as my fiance (who i live with) still smokes. i do really want this, though. and though i am soooooooo proud and inspired to read the blogs on here posted by those who are doing so well and feeling so strong in their quitting, it really helps to read these ones as well - the ones posted by those who are having a hard time with it but are still stickin to it 🙂 thank you.
