Trying to get going
Hello! I haven't been able to access this site for a while now and decided to try it this morning and it works! I had previously quit for about 70 days or so but my mom passed away just before Christmas and I was totally overwhelmed by this and stupidly thought smoking would provide comfort. I am now struggling to quit again. I have ordered some patches to help out with the initial tough bit. It feels like I never quit in the first place and it's so hard to stop again. Maybe even harder than initially quitting. Any advice for someone trying to get back to being quit? Happy to be back here as I found it very helpful last time I quit 🙂
Hi Piff, I’m sorry to hear of your loss .
It’s really hard to quit smoking for good, let alone when it’s a very difficult time. I think reminding yourself of your reasons why you want to quit again will help you. Focus on the positive side of quitting not on the negatives, such as as how hard it is. Take things day by day, even hour by hour , at first. Start up something new in your life. I started exercising but you could choose something else.
I hope that helps a little bit. 😊
