Back on track!

Ok, I'm back on my journey and determined to succeed once again. I know I can, & I know what can happen if I slip up again. Even more reason to be strong. 2 full days free and have hardly given cigarettes a thought. Still a long way to go to get back to my recent 60 days free, but each and every day counts. In my mind I detest cigarettes but even though I slipped, I see the past few weeks as a help to me in becoming a permanent non-smoker.....or a smoker who no longer smokes. I was smoking again, not a lot, but enough to be sooo disappointed in myself, & disliking everything about them. I didn't go back to my regular pack a day addiction, but even so, I was smoking. I'm not expressing myself very well here, so I hope people understand what I'm trying to say. I'm not beating myself up, I don't feel like I've failed, I just feel even more determined if anything.

Hi Judes, i fully understand what you are trying to say and i am sure others do too. You are not the first and won't be the last to have a slip up whilst trying to quit smoking. Just look at it as a lesson and be kind to yourself....... at least you stood up, brushed yourself off and continued on your journey. Cheers ... Good luck.

Thanks Kim, and I'm proud of you. While I was going backward you were going forward and have done so well. I'll catch up....day 3 clean and not missing the filthy things at all. Got me a new pack of champix which I will be taking as advised.

Hey Jude's,
Aww that's sweet for you to say you're proud
of me.
I'm glad you're going to stick with what
works for you because that's really important.
I'm happy to walk along side you all the way x

Haha,
Yeah I hear ya! I can't drink because of pain
meds so I feel pretty squeaky clean also.
Whoop Whoop, keep it up, that's awesome!
