Back in the saddle again
I made it 7 months quit but then i went back down the slippery slope! Sad but true. I smoked from April-November of 2017 but now i am quit again, today is day 14. I feel resolute and determined. The first two weeks was easier than expected (after the very first craving, which was a killer).
Good luck to everyone!
Excuse me, but I am only on day 2 and feeling quite argumentative. Do you think that it's not advantageous for everybody to be really encouraging and telling you that you're doing great? Does it make you feel that you've done it, so you can have a party and a smoke and because you've "made it"? I think that's what my downfall is.
Hi weewillem-
haha, interesting theory- i would say that everyone will have a different response to that sort of praise/encouragement based on their own psychology. Personally i did great when i was getting all that encouragement. My downfall was that, after 6 months, i thought i didn't need support anymore, stopped looking at this page, stopped using the app, stopped actively fighting being a smoker. And then, it snuck back up on me. For me the encouragement was helpful and made me feel supported and not alone. But, maybe it's different for you!
