Very sorry to hear this. I do hope you can try again, the outcome of long term smoking is not good dear.

hope you quit again real soon and stay with us

Yes please stay with us even if you started smoking again. I know in the beginning whenever I'd pick up a cig, I hated to come in here and admit it but please don't let that stop you. Just start your quit over again until it sticks and it will one day. You'll be so happy you hung in there. Like granny said long term smoking is not good. The sooner you quit the better you will feel. Good luck. ((hugs))

Never stop trying to quit.
The best chance of you stopping is to start again right away. The longer you continue smoking, the harder it will be to stop again IMO.

No judgement from me....just concern for your well being (((((((Hugs))))))

Lori, slips happen. Please stop beating yourself up. I had a great 6 month quit going when I slipped. We all care for you so much that we don't want to lose you. Keep coming here, allow us to help you PLAN your next/final quit. Planning makes for a stronger quit and staying in touch helps you feel not so alone. We are here.

Lori you need to get back on your quit ASAP.The longer you wait the harder it will be.I was going to text you last night about not being at roll call and pledge,but I didn't want to bug you.You can do this.We love you no matter what.

I've slipped before but I got back up. You can too!!!!!!
We're here!!!

A suggestion I have often heard is to close your eyes and envision yourself as a smoke free person. I'd like to add some sound effects.....
"hic....hic....hic" BUMPITY BUMP BUMP BUMP.
Here's my point. Hiccups happen as do bumps in the road. If hiccups don't stop you and bumps in the road don't stop you then please don't let a slip stop your well deserved quit.
You came here with honesty instead of avoiding us. KUDOS! That's not easy to do. This just tells me that you can't let go of the real desire to quit. Re-think your quit plan, discuss it here. You already regret lighting up so now it's time to formulate Plan B and maybe a contingency plan or two. Do you know about the 5 "D's"?
1. DRINK water! Great crave buster, zero calories and the price is right.
2. DELAY lighting up. Put it off for 15 min. You may find the crave goes away and you do not "have to smoke"
3. DISTRACT yourself! Indulge in a hobby, go for a brisk walk (health permitting) window shop, try your hand at something you have always wanted to do, volunteer, the list is endless so choose your allies.
DISCUSS your quit! Why did you relapse? What was the trigger? What are your strong points? What are your weak points? What is going on in your life that leads you feeding your addiction? Certainly you need not discuss any of these points but getting honest is critical to understanding what motivates your addiction. Knowledge is power.
5. DS You came here because you wanted help. I could not have quit over 8 years ago and stayed quit without reaching out for help and without helping others. DS is amazing and it's membership holds folks from all walks of life.....keeps things interesting for sure!
I wish you every success with your quit. We're here to help but the decision and the commitment are yours.

So very true LankyYankee.
Lori, I think deep down you really want to quit. I know it's a crutch and instant feel good, but in the long run you will wish you had quit.

Take Lanky's advice and give it another try, you won't be sorry, we are here for you and you'll feel so much better if you give it another whirl.
Kick that Nicodemon to the curb !!!!!
