1 month ago I quit for 16 days. I was 30 a day for over 20 years. 16 days and i felt awesome. Then something happened and I truly dont know what it was now and BAM, I wanted a ciggie. Couldn't think of anything other than that one ciggie...but I had to buy a pack to get that one. And one led to two and one pack led to two pack and then I am right back where I started. But today I decided to be kind to myself and put them down again. For Good! Long road ahead I know but I already feel terrible again. But during the 16days off I was feeling on top of the world. So Be Kind is my advice. I slipped up but thats ok, I will just go again. And Again if I have to. Be brave everyone and be kind.

I agree with you Nico, we have to do a lot

of self care and reflection to get through

this journey.

1 day and about 5 minutes as a non-smoker. My house hasn't been cleaned so thoroughly in a while. As a smoker my triggers were more like rewards for jobs done. Got out of bed before kids - Reward! Fed kids Brekky - Reward! Got jids to school - Reward! Cleaned away the brekjy mess - Reward! And so my day went. So at the moment I still have the daily to do's but I have yet to work out the new Reward. I dont think big gulps of water will inspire me for long sadly. Thank you all for your positive feedback. Have a bright and oxygen-filled day.

Well done for starting again so soon. It took me ages to try again.

You just described my day as a smoker more

or less lol. It's insane the grip it can have.
