Sparky Never give up! The life you save will be your own. Post here as much as you want. You are part of the family no matter what. I am sorry to hear how hard this is for you. I know I have been there as I desperately worked at quitting and tried all sorts of stuff to get quit. Nothing worked until I just quit. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I hope you will get to that point soon. Blessings to you. You are a friend to me and a quit buddy no matter what.

Sparky Right here for you, when ever you are ready. Don't give up especially on yourself. Gather the energy you need to start back. I know for me it took about a year for me to really gather the steam to get to the actually determination I needed. Like I said I will be here for you when ever you are ready, and I know ther will be many others here as well.

Sparky, I have watched you from the beginning. I don't post so much any more, but I just wanted to tell you that, despite your relapse, I have no doubt that you will succeed at this. You are too strong and too dear not to take beat this addiction and experience the wonderful freedom that awaits you.

Been where you have been, a few times in the last few weeks as well. And I did it last year too. What I know Sparky is that I want to quit smoking, and that this is the place to do it. Yeah, it's dissappointing to have to do it all over again, for the quitter, and those that are helping, but it is worth it, for everyone. You need to find a way to deal with those thoughts. That has been my problem too. Get some books. You need to change those tapes playing in your head. It's not just the Junkie talking in there!!!!! Look into Mindfulness, you might find that may help with controlling those thoughts you think are uncontrollable. Always know that you can come back here, where you are ready. Eventually someone is going to say to you though that "there has been too many failed attempts." And you know what that person is right. You just have to do it. No going back to the way you've always done it. Think about it. Take the time you need to regroup. We will be here. At least I'm planning on it.
