Slipped Again
This is my fourth attempt to quit I was cigarette free for 6 weeks, then I decided it was time to enjoy wine again, didn't take long for the will power to go out the window. first it was just a couple with a glass of wine then I would be ok for a few days, then another wine and so on. I then weakened without an alcohol temptation and have smoked for 2 days running. I dont want to be a smoker so am starting again. There will be no alcohol and I will have to keep working on my will power and ignore the voice in my head that says "one wont hurt" - YES IT WILL
Slipping and relapse are alright as long as we have the stamina to keep trying....one day it might get too hard to try.
Have you tried having a wine when you had no access to cigarettes.
That was the only way I could give up, have no cigs in the house - while they were around I was kidding myself.
It is now over 8 months since I had a smoke and I still enjoy my wine
Yes did try that, my daughter smokes so I got one from her, when she wasn't home i walked down the street and bought some, the beginning of the end. Just have to work on the willpower and ignore the wine for a while! Today is a new day and the journey starts again!
Hi Mischa,
Just keep going, You'll eventually get there and get sick of giving up.And stay smokefree.
I gave up for 6 months earlier this year, took it back up and has taken me months to finally get back on track.I am smokefree for 4 days and am really sick and tired of " giving up" then caving in.
Good luck and yeap you can do this.
