I have heard a lot of people here say they have slipped and had to start all over and reset their quit clock. So what consitutes a relapse in your book? Is it a puff, a cigarette, is it smoking for 1 day, a whole pack, a weekend, a week, a month......I'm just curious what other people consider a relapse. Do you hold yourself to the same timeframe if you have not smoked for a week vs. 10 years?

I have been completely smoke free for 3 days now. If i subtract the one ciggerette that i smoked friday night it has be 5 days. But I don't think that does me any justice. I would have to say that any nicotine in your systems would be a relapse. At the end of the day its the reasons we quit that really matters.

I'm with the above. Sneaking a drag or smoking a whole cigarette - or whole day or pack - bottom line is, you smoked! It's time to be honest with ourselves. We can sneak around and hide our smoking from our spouse, our parents, our coworkers - but dang if we can hide it from ourselves. You KNOW it's going to taste bad. You KNOW it's going to smell bad. You KNOW how hard the first few days are. Is it worth it? Then it's worth resetting your quit clock.
Just my opinion - more reinforcement for myself than anything!
