Kristi, the only thing that's keeping you from staying quit is that you keep smoking. Call it a slip, a relapse, call it George. You're smoking, and that is what you're doing wrong.
As long as you see smoking as an alternative to yelling at your kids or your husband, or being bored, or jittery, or anything at all, your quit will always be at risk.
Smoking is not an option when you're a non-smoker. If yelling is not an option either, then I guess you have to find some other way to handle those times when you want to either yell or smoke. Just like I did, and penguin, Lainey, aloha & probably everybody who ever quit smoking ever.
My quit buddies below are absogfrigginlutely right on the button correct, Kristi. Smoking is a selfish thing to do and it cannot be justified with a load of crap about not being able to quit for yourself. That might be the most evil bit of junkie thinking I've ever heard.
There is help here when you ask for it, you know there is because you've seen it work. If you don't take advantage of all the help that's available, then you haven't made the commitment to NOPE.
AS long as you haven't made thet commitment, you are leaving the door open to the junkie. As long as that door is open, you don't want to quit more than you want to smoke.
Do what you need to do, Kristi. Get right back on, take a break, whatever you think is going to be best. Whatever you decide, you know where to find us.
When you come back, or if you stay now, I would like to see your promise that you will ALWAYS post before you smoke, and wait for 5 replies. And then I'd like to see you do it.
