Call it whatever you want, but I believe in calling it what it really is,,,smoking. If you smoked today you are a smoker today. If you want to quit then you'll have to do WHATEVER it takes to stay smoke-free. Coping skills have to be learned and used. BEING HONEST WITH MYSELF HELPS ME TO STAY QUIT! 2 of the things I've promised myself are............................ 1. If I relapse/slip,,,bottom line smoke, I have to reset my quit meter. BECAUSE IF I'M SMOKING I'M NOT QUIT. Therefore the quit meter stops too. Anytime I smoked when the quit meters running is not honest time on my quit meter. "For Me", this is a black & white topic and there's no grey in it, whatsoever. 2. Before I give in and smoke just one puff, I will come in here and post for help and read the responses. Then if I still want to smoke, so be it. I just got a year smoke-free last month and will have 10 yrs sober in April,,,GOD willing. I truly believe that self-honesty plays an extrememly big part in life. These are my opinions & my ways of making it so far. Take from this anthing you want or nothing at all. I'm just sharing what has helped me to stay quit. WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! No matter what don't lite up... Keep on keepin on... Cherie P.S. This post is not directed at 1 person. People quit smoking and start again all the time. Honestly, the posts posted today inspired this post, but not the people making the posts. We see these slipping posts all the time on this site so there would be no good time to post what I'm posting here without taking a chance on offending someone. My opinions are not directed at anyone in particular. Everyone has to make their own informed decisions for their own life. Just want ya'll to know that I know this, LOL. My opinions are just that,,,"my personal opinions". Life can be tough and quitting smoking is definitely one of the hardest things I've ever done. It's really hard and at times can really suck BUT OVERALL IS WONDERFUL!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Another day smoke-free Wishing everyone a wonderful evening of being smoke-free!

Yep I agree, whatever works for each person to quit is gr8. For me, my quit meter is continuous time without one puff. That's just what works "for me" :) And because I've promised myself that I will have to restart my quit meter from zero if I have just one puff plays a big role in helping ME to not take that one puff. I use my quit meter as a reward to look at. Again, that's "my way". It's also the way AA works. If I take one sip of alcohol I start counting again from day 1. GOD willing, I'll have 10 yrs sober on April 25, 2006. If I ever relapse/drink I will start counting from day 1 but no one can ever take away the time I've had sober or the time I have smoke-free. No matter what don't lite up... Keep on keepin on...

An addict is an addict. No such thing as a grey addict, lol. U either are or are not an addict. I am addictted to ciggarette's. Therefore, 1 is too many and a thousands not enough. ONE DRAG OFF A CIGGARETTE IS CALLED SMOKING. That's all it takes to start smoking just like we never stopped. If I have 1 drag off a ciggarette today I will most likely start smoking just like I never stopped. It might not be today but probably by the end of the week, lol. Why?? Because I'm addictted to ciggaretts. That's why I'm here for support and that's why I decided to quit. Don't allow the junkie talk in your head fool you into thinking that you can have a "slip" and still be a non-smoker. A non-smoker doesn't slip. A non-smoker doesn't smoke. There's no grey in this subject "FOR ME", because I'm an addict and one's too many and a thousands not enough! I'm either smoking or I'm not. I chose to not smoke today :) Hang in there everybody. No playing with words or justifing in a way that allows you or gives you permission to SMOKE. Stay away from slippery spots or you will slip and if you slip you are smoking. If you go to a barber shop enough times, sooner or later you're going to get your haircut!!! No matter what don't lite up... Keep on keepin on...

Thanks for the admiration u guys. Life is not a dress rehersal or a game to me. It's the real thing. I gotta make this one shot count for the good. I want to live a long healthy life and not allow a substance to control me. Life's short, it's not something to play with or take lightly. We must appreciate what we're given and see drugs for what they are and not let them ruin the life we're so preciously given. Life's already short enough and will be over before we know it so why shorten it even more? Why waste our lives away by suffocating ourselves with poisen. We are to intelligent to allow a substance to take away our lives. The only reasons cig's are legal are to kill us quicker and take our money. Money/Power/Control/Death/Destruction/Pain = Evil Love/Family/Life/Giving/Health = Good Ok, let me stop, lol.
