I'm back... I managed over a 3 month quit until (insert pathetic excuse) and (insert excuse of booze). I had my self convinced 'oh I can smoke while I drink' it progressed towards having a horrible day of 'oh I'll have a beer, so I can have a smoke'

You can see whats coming next. I failed, I lapsed. I self sabotaged myself. I realized that I found excuses, stupid excuses for smoke. They didn't find me, nothing happened that I couldn't overcome. I'm only in about a 2 day of a fully slip and I don't like it. I've had the voices start that 'its too late, quit later'

So tomorrow I reboot. I've talked to my roommate (a non smoker) about needing a little extra support again, apologized to him in advanced for my 3 days of bitchiness... I'm going to come clean to those I'm around. I know if I pretend I never slipped, I'll be living a lie. I'd wet down all my butts around with soap. I'm ready.

Matt

You've done it once and you can surely do it again. Just don't let old Laughing Demon ruin your life. Stay strong and resolve not to pick up a cigarette again -- ever!

Stay in touch.

Thanks guy...

It took me over a year; but I finally quit again... I think I finally grasped what I needed the grasp to stick to things. Every quit I'm sabotaged at 2-4 months, finding some excuse, some trigger that I can use to light up. I always fed the triggers, the cravings. Working on looking at things differently and try not to forget what it was to be chained up on a schedule of smoking. Thanks everyone for all the support over the years.
