I quit for more than a year. I was feeling really good. Then I went out at night with some friends and was offered a cigarette (this was not the first time I was offered and I refused in the past but somehow I gave in that particular time) but now I am back on the cigs and I hate it. I did not follow my own advice to stay away from that first cigarette. Thats all it takes - just one - and you can be back again so easily. My little son has found out that I started again and I don't want him to see me smoke, so thats 1 good reason to stop. The other reason is that I'm really fit now and smoking does not mix with fitness. I think I have enough new reasons to stop!
OK , so this is day 1 for me. Arghhh!!! I remember how I did it before, so I just need to stay away from the first cigarette and white nuckle it for a while until I start feeling good again.
If I could do it before, I can do it again! I'll probably be back here more often now talking about how its going.
