It has taken me over 10 attempts, i honestly stopped counting. Whats crazy is my first quit attempt 02/10/2010 wasn't as tough as the attempts after, i was told get past 30 days and you're in the clear by a good friend. I believed him. After i blew that on 9/24/2012 i made the mistake of putting off quitting. I didn't go right back to a pack a day but here and there and within a month i was back. I waited until early march 2015 to quit again, and relapse after relapse. Some quits were a few weeks, 1 was over 3 months until i decided on 11/25/2015 i was done beating myself up.

0 It took me a long time to to make the decision, but thanks to my determination and the education I received from a quit smoking forum, I never relapsed. The other thing that helped was when someone would say that you can't have just one. So many relapsers apparently have to find out for themselves and that just reinforced for me the fact that you can't have just one. I took their word for it.
