Smoking Again

19 років тому 0 +0 / -0 715

Hi all :) I'm posting, not to disapoint anyone but to shed some light on what a terrible addiction smoking is and just how easily you could be smoking again before u know it. During the year and 4 months I quit smoking I had bad craving in the beginning and got through them. Then I had to start dealing with emotions and got through it. I was very happy that I had quit and extremely happy every time I woke up smoke-free the next day after making it through a tough really spot. I honestly believed I would remain smoke-free the rest of my life. Then one evening, July 2 to be exact, a friend and I were eatting at a restaurant (the day after the smoking law took affect in Colorado, how ironic), anyhow we came out after dinner and she lit up a cigarette and I don't know why but I took it out of her mouth and stated smoking it. I wasn't thinking about smoking, wasn't craving it at all! And was in a pretty good mood too. Ciggaretts were the furthest thing from my mind. I have no idea why I grabbed that ciggarette from her? I enjoyed it very much. The next day I went to her house and smoked another one. And then the next day went to her house and smoked 2. Then the next day I couldn't wait to go to her house and smoked 3. I said I wasn't going to be a smoker again so I wouldn't buy a pack or smoke at my house. Then one night I went in on a pack with someone and started smoking on my porch. Still just 3 or 4 a day. Now I'm back to a pack a day of newports and smoking wherever I feel like it. And to top it off have absolutly no desire to quit anytime soon. Let this be a warning,,,spur of the moment impulses may come out of no where and you'll have no idea what happened and before u know it you're a smoker again. If u find yourself reaching for someone elses ciggarette without thinking,,,stop yourself, fast. As I was thinking twice about it, the ciggarette was already in my mouth. I don't know what happened? I'm usually very good at figuring out what's going on with myself but this experience is something new to me. All I can think is that the addiction lies there waiting to sneak in on you at any moment that u let your guard down. Maybe I just got to confident. I really don't know? So I guess what I'm saying is don't let your guard down. This is a very serious a

Dear Cherie: Sorry things worked out the way they did. I am very thankfull that you took the time to explain what happned so that others could possibly learn and grow. I don't care who you are or how strong you are, there is always the cigarette lurking in the background. You have been a shining example here at the SSC and being sober for 10 years is not small feat in its self. If you decide to try to quit again I am sure you have a lot to offer, not only to yourself but to many others as you have done in the past. Roxanne and I wish you the best.

I always have something to say � and I�ll say it just as soon as I figure out what it is. Wow, Cuteness, you sure know how to shock a person, don�t you? Okay. As far as letting any of us down, you didn�t. You�re the one who fought and cried and won. Yes, you won. This is just a setback. I KNOW you. You�re the one who was always there � the one who always had something good to say about everyone � the one who lived up to your name � Joyful. You will also be the one to beat this dreadful addition. I know you will. Bogman, you and Joyful get your fannies back in here and quit. I eat one of your yummy yogurt concoctions several times every week; and every time I do, I think of you. I do not want to think of you smoking. IT�S BAD FOR YOU. Love to you both. Come home soon.
