Hi SneakySmoker,

Welcome to the Stop Smoking Center website. I like your user name too.

Wow, a 5 year quit down the drain due to a lapse in judgement. Now you are paying for it, and have to go through detox again. I really hope you know what the trigger was that made you start up again, so you can AVOID it or battle it head on the next time. "My stress burden is high and I use it as my...comfort." We all know that smoking does not really relieve stress, it's just a crutch we use thinking it does. There are better and healthier ways to help relieve your stress. Some of them are:

Deep breathing exercises.

Exercise your body.

Meditate.

Get on here and vent, or keep a personal journal and write down what's making you stress. Writing things usually helps put things in perspective.

Laughing is a good one too.

Listen to music you like.

Play with your pet if you have one.

There are literally hundreds of more ways to help you relieve stress.

You have been through this before so you know what to expect on your quit journey. Well maybe you remember, it HAS been over 5 years.

Sorry couldn't resist that. See, laughing does help to lower stress, chuckles work too!

If you want to get your meter running, go up to the "my program" at the top of the page then go into settings. You can enter all of the info in there.

I wish you the best on your new journey SneakySmoker, stay strong!

Welcome to this site. At least you know you are capable of quitting and staying quit and you dont smoke many a day. I know the addiction is still tough but at least you wont be coming off a big amount of nicotine. Just keep thinking how much better youll feel without having to sneak around behind your familys back. Family is the best motivator. I wish you success and keep us posted.

Welcome SneakySmoker! I love your username, that really sums up a lot of the final years of my smoking habit. It sucks feeling like a liar and a sneak just to protect our useless nicotine habit. I know Timbo is going to jump in and suggest you fill out the glove compartment section of this site, so hopefully you've done that already. I found it motivating to see the number of cigarettes I hadn't smoked tallying up. By the time I quit, I considered myself a "light" smoker but they still add up shockingly fast when you look at the quit meter! I hope you post a lot and read a lot here, pretty much everything you need to know is all in these threads somewhere.

Ok here goes. I am a late-30’s male. I smoked for most of my life prior to meeting my wife. We smoked together and then quit together. We got five years of no smoking together and in a major lapse of judgement I picked up the sticks again. Now I smoke three ciggs per day during the work week and two a day on the weekends. My stress burden is high and I use it as my...comfort. I am overweight with a family history of HBP so I am the last person that should be smoking. I also have my daughter. I don’t smoke in front of her. She doesn’t know and neither does my wife. I need to stop. Period. I have been going on this relapse for four months now. That is me in a nutshell.
