Quit for 1 1/2 years had just 1. Started smoking again back to a pack a day. Have quit and relapsed a few times since. Am smoke free now 7 weeks and have gained the wisdom of never 1 puff. If you slip never give up trying. Never resign yourself to an early grave. I am 63 years young and now feel 40. Exercise a lot. Can jog 3 miles. Drink a lot of water and no junk food. Hope I never slip again. 1 day at a time
PLEASE use your tools - not hope - to remain quit. You have learned an important lesson: an addict (and we are all nicotine addicts here) can NEVER, ever, have just one. Remember slow/deep breaths if a random, intense crave hits. You are traveling through what we call No Mans Land - and one can hit you out of the blue.
Congratulations on seven weeks!
