go back to the reasons you quit---One a day will hurt you!

I have had that little demon saying very similar things and to shut him up I remember that I don't/won't know which cigarette will be the one that kills me.

Smoking is smoking--you can't be a non smoker if you smoke even one.

Good luck--delay, drink a glass of water, chew some gum...what ever it takes!

Spend some time reading at whyquit.com also the COPD community here, the demon's talking not you....N.O.P.E. not one puff ever! Believe there will come a time you won't think about it and you certainly won't concider it an option, ever! Hold on!!!! Best wishes!

Baroness1 is so right - one a day will hurt you and i think you know deep down that it will lesd to more and more - you can't control them,they control you.
I once quit for 18 months a few years back and that's how i started again.
Get yourself back into the frame of mind you were in as a non smoker and remember how good you felt about yourself.Please don't ruin those fantastic 52 days.
The only way you can beat cigarettes is by not giving the little buggers an inch cos once you do they hook you back in!!!!
Stay strong xx

Re-start your Quit!
Get your reasons for quitting together and start over
Never quit quitting!

I agree you should restart your quit, it does take some people a few attempts to quit and that includes me, but we get there in the end, because the truth is once you decide to stop smoking and you know all the reasons why you should, even if you start smoking you will never enjoy it like maybe you thought you once did, you know to much about the harm its doing to you now, so the only way to have any peace, is to stop. good luck Viv

quit all over again. your letting the addiction trick you. you and i both know the ol 'one a day' is not going to cut it. that's like giving a coke addict only a line a day. you can do it. keep going.... your tougher than this addiction.

"just one a day won't hurt"...what can I do ?????

If you want to quit you just can't smoke, easy as that. Might try to figure out what the trigger was for you.

Thanks everyone.....I've gone the whole day today without my one cig. I have a strong determination now, thanks to your support. I think boredom was the trigger today.

Well, at 52 days, your inner addict is probably in a complete panic and telling you any whopper of a lie (like "Oh, you can just have one") in order to get a blast of nicotine. Don't fall for it, and don't make the mistake of letting a slip turn into something more. It's great that you have gotten back to the business of quitting.

Congrats on making it back right away.If you let it happen again it might not be so easy.Stick around here alot.Best of luck

Hey BF - you did well to tell us. You can start again any time. The sooner the better. We've all played this game before. The way it works, is one per day and forget we've quit so it becomes one pack per day without realizing it. I'm very glad you posted because that is the reality of our addiction. Keep trying, my friend!

Just one cig a day is smoking. Also just one cig a day is a snap to stop. You can do it.
