Help!!
Help!!! I slipped up 2 days ago! I had a few drinks and had 2 cigarettes :( :(
I feel very anxious and guilty- I don't want to start again. It's been 3 weeks since I quit and it feels like it was all for nothing now. I'm so upset with my self I can't stop thinking about it. I feel like a failure.
Hi EmmaT, Its easy to slip up when having a couple of drinks. No need to feel guilty or feel like a failure either - maybe give it another go - good luck !!
Thank you so much for the positive feed back, I don't plan on starting up again I just don't want this to have broken my subconscious quitting state of mind. Just gotta look forward I guess
Just a speed bump. Getting over a speed bump requires much more effort than driving along a straight road so if you can get over this and continue along you are stronger than the rest of us. Good luck.
No Dont say that cause we are all like you should give yourself another chance if you can't this time you should try again and again and again this is a rule for life anyrhing in this life can be false but if you stay trying everything beleive me you gonna succes and sorry for my english
A slip up is a reminder that quitting smoking is not an easy task. Depending how we deal with these slip ups makes us stronger and if having a cigarette based on a situation we were in at that time doesn't make us a failure. Its a message asking how we going to deal with that situation next time it arises!!
You're not back to square one!! you have picked up where you have left off towards the smoke-free lifestyle!! keep travelling!! keep the faith!!
Thank you guys so much it feels great to be part of a supportive community who know how I feel. Which, by the way, is so much better than 2 days ago, I feel I am still on the right track now and know that I can do this! I don't have to start back at square one of I don't want to, Just have to keep looking at the future. Thanks again.
Just think Emma, you are one step ahead of us ... when we all feel we have it kicked and wonder if we could just have that "one", you know different and can support us out of it! Well done you for getting back on track, like someone said above, it's just a blip and no more than that. Keep on trucking .... xx
Hi Started today to read all post, believe in yourself and remember if you stopped at two, it will remind you how much this addiction will rear its ugly self, I too am totally done with smoking sadly I had mainly friends who smoked, amazing how we all gravitated to each other. For now I know I need to withdraw from our friendship, I need all the strength I can get to stay on this path. Best to do activities where I will not smoke. I so wish myself the strength to finish what I started.
