I am so embarassed to tell the group that I smoked today. All the hugs you've been giving me got me though 4 days of hell but I did it, and now I have to tell you all that I work in a very stressful job and today on my lunch break which is only 1/2 hour I went outside and bummed a smoke (something I haven't done in about 30 years). I couldn't wait until after work to try and get another one. I am not handling stress very well these days and feel like I am losing it. GRRRRR!!!!! I am allergic to the patch, cannot tolerate Wellbutrin,Zyban or Chantix,I have tried all of them and the gum and lozenges (called Thrive) do nothing for me. My only option is cold turkey, this is very hard but I vow to try again and continue and want to thank you all for being so very supportive with all your encouragement so far. Please do not feel this was in vain, I appreciate it all and will make you proud when I do finally quit for good. Terry

Hey Terry, Use this slip as a learning tool...think 'how else could I have handled my stress,(anger,sadness,happienss)What else could I have done to not ask for the 1 cigarette. With my slip Last October, I thought I could have 'just one'...but I am an addict and 1 is too many and 1000 is never enough.
We are with you...Hugs, Maybery
