after major slip up....back on Day 5
hello all....after 3 strong weeks...."bam" back to the old habit after some serious stress within the household...I'm back on the journey...5 Days...and feeling dreadful! No cravings but just feel sick in the stomach.....just so scared that it'll backfire again in my face as stress is something I cannot deal with...love some advice from ours out there how to deal with stress no that we have quit.... hope all is going well with everyone out there.....
don't worry about it you slipped up now you are starting again good for you. hey just never put another cigarette in your mouth well all the best.
Hi AMD, You haven't failed just had a hiccup. There will always be troughs & highs in everything. Success is failure turned inside out. Try a walk & breathing exercises. Everyone is different it's just a matter of finding what works for you. It doesn't matter how may times you fall over just so long as you pick yourself up & keep trying. Good luck Cheers
Hey i can relate. I too have had a slip up. After 69 days smoke free ive crumbled. I also dont handle stress very well and i thought 'just one wont hurt'. Gosh how stupid. Going back to doc to discuss ? more champix. Hating myself at the moment. Well, good luck i really hope you succeed. Cheers
Some good points all given here for you AMD. The most important thing is you are quitting once again. Be strong.
Yeap dont be too hard on yourself AMD. The fact you had a few cigarettes isnt bad at all,Look at how far youve come,Just put in behind you and stay on track and keep going.. Good luck
Thankyou so very much to all that posted your thoughts...very much appreciated....this is really great that we have such a site to ask for help when one is in need and to have the support from people who understand what one is going thru. So thankyou once again...ur thoughts truely helped me....and i'm sure others too along this journey we are all heading down.
I am becoming stronger this time...but boy....the cravings today are soooooo strong but I have been keeping busy and telling myself a stern "no don't be stupid"......I am doing this on my own....cold turkey.....I have had the help of lozenges, when I started on this journey a month ago...but I am a stubborn old mule....well....don't know about old exactly....anyway...i have used patches in the past and they haven't agreed with me so it's me, myself and I on this journey. To know that I'm not "burning" all that $$$ up that I used to is also the motivation to stay on this journey.....the cost the the habit was killing the family budget and it was time for me to quit.
I wish you all continued success.....and thanks again xx
