Last Friday night, I finally worked up enough nerve to quit smoking. I had been smoking for 14 years, 20-30 cigarettes a day and I decided I had enough. This would be my first REAL attempt at quitting. I decided to go cold turkey, my husband joined me.
I was smoke free, without any cigarettes for 4 days when I had an emotional break down. I was just crying, depressed, throwing things, etc. Needless to say, I lit a cigarette. Followed by 6 more.
Next day, which is today, I have been smoking like normal again. I don't want to smoke though. I WANT to quit. I felt so great just in those 4 days! I had so much more air in my lungs and I loved to walk and breathe the fresh air. I felt very disappointed in myself that I relapsed.
Tomorrow I am going back on the wagon. If I did it the first time, even if only for 4 days then I can do it again! I can quit.
I need tips though from previous ex-smokers who have relapsed. How do you get back on that wagon?
Thanks!
P.S. My hubby is doing great!
