Violet, of course you are allowed to be here and start again. That's what we're here for. I was looking back at one of your blogs last year around this time and you had 14 days under your belt. Mmmmm, I'll bet you wish you had stuck with it. You would have over a year by now.
OK. So my first suggestion is that in the future come around on a regular basis, make quitting a priority in your life and don't let the other "busy things" take you away from your goal. For most of us long-term quitters, quitting had to take first place for quite a while. We needed to be busy with THIS, rather than the other things in our lives. Quitting has to become a priority simply because it such a strong addiction that relegating it to a second place position won't be enough to conquer it and achieve your ultimate goal. Your focus has to be on this aspect of your life, quitting smoking. At least in the beginning of the journey. But even all along the journey, attention must be paid. Otherwise you're going to end up right where you are at the present moment which unhappily is back to another Day One.
So reset your quit clock to November 6th!, put your head up and charge ahead into your new quit. But stick around this time. OK?!
