How to cope with failed attempts
Perhaps I was over confident? I did quit quite easily for a couple of days so I have no idea why on day 3 I succumbed as there was no apparent trigger. I seem to have two people in my head and the other one (who I am going to call 'Saboteur' keeps doing this "Oh you can always quit tomorrow, Jellycake" thing. Anyway, I have set a new quit date for the weekend with the decks cleared again of all obligations and social events. I apologise once again to myself!
If you'll allow me an observation, making "a new quit date for the weekend" is succumbing to "Saboteur" also. The right quitting mindset means starting NOW, not tomorrow or the weekend. I fooled myself into continuing smoking that way for at least 10 years.
If you're here, you're ready. You simply need to find your NOW - and mean it. Good luck :)
Hi Jellycake, Im really proud of you for Trying to Stop I know you have been tru the mill and it hasn't been easy for you but hang in there eventually you will get your mind-set and you can put this part of your journey behind you and put this Madness to bed, I know you can do it . One Day At A Time
Jellycake........yes Stevo is right. If your serious of quitting then throw your ciggies, lighters and ashtrays away now....you cannot set dates....they just become broken New Year resolutions. Cheers
