Hi guys and thanks for all your support. This slip has put the heeby jeebies into me. I know what it was like when I slipped in a past quit and I was back to my old habit within 6 weeks. I DO NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. The thought of that slavery is just too depressing. I have decided that alcohol was a definite contributing factor to my slip so I'm abstaining from that for a while too. Thanks for all your kind words and for not judging me - it helps more than you will ever know. Ever onwards All the best Sharon [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 33 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 336 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �88.77 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 19 [B]Mins:[/B] 51 [B]Seconds:[/B] 23

Hi folks I'm back from my trip and I'm sorry to say that I did smoke. I went to a party and had one beer to many and felt quite tipsy. I smoked half a cigarette. Of course, it was horrible. I spent the next day giving myself hard kicks up the butt and feeling pretty disappointed in myself. Still though I don't see my slip as a reason to start smoking again. I have started my quit again. I've decided to keep my old stats because I consider it to be a minor slip - not one to be complacent of but not one major enough to feel I still haven't come some distance on this quit. Sooo deep breath and off I go again. I'm trying not to be disappointed in myself but in truth I am a little. More importantly is that I stick with this though and remember NOPE NOPE NOPE. All the best guys.

Hi folks Yep - I hear every single one of ya and I fully intend to continue with my quit - I had a blip, it's over, move on. I'm minding a friends kids for the weekend (10 months and 3 years). They are keeping me busy - don't even have time to think about cigs. Gotta go - little one awake. Chat soon.

Sharon - 1 puff = 2 packs a day for me. I'm an addict. I will always be addicted to nicotine. I can't control that, but I can control my actions. I will not take that one puff. It's too dangerous. Learn from the slip and march on.
