Hey Tracy!
How's it going? You mentioned in your post that it's just like you had never quit. Well, that's because the law of addiction. Once it's fed again, the addiction resumes it's place pretty quickly. And yep, back to square one. But, it's not the end...just keep quitting. I went back and forth, over and over for over two years in that dreaded yo-yo of quit, smoke, quit It's not fun, and it does something to the confidence. BUT I did finally conquer the beast!!! And you are going to also!!
Can I get personal? After 4 years of being free, something extra ordinary had to trigger the desire and want to smoke. Something had to happen in your life and circumstances to lure you back to even consider smoking as an option again. What? Don't have to answer that here on the board, but inside...you do for your own self. Whatever it was or is...it's a weak spot, a back door that needs to be closed in order to breakfree. You can do this...you know you can...you did it for over 4 years. Are you preparing for the 7th? Are you looking forward in anticipation or dreading the date?
Just some things to ask yourself. Stop trying to please others, and look to yourself...you need to be excited and content with the decision to quit. Once you are determined and satifisied with the choice to once and for all to breakfree....no matter what....you will be able to quit and stay quit...regardless of circumstances, emotions, or feelings.
Here's a magic wand and some ruby slippers....now repeat...there's no place like home (quit)...there's no place like home (quit).
Keep us posted! Pulling for ya!!!
Big Hugs and Lots of Love _________________
