Jack

You made a mistake. The only thing to do after making a mistake is figuring out what you have to do to correct it next time the situation comes up.

You also have to remember you can "accidentally" make mistakes when it is convenient.

Keep your head up. You're still doing great!

Jack, I have been tobacco free for 2~ years
now, dipped Skoal and smoked Marlboro Mediums
quit both cold turkey, don't even think about
it anymore, in fact I see smokers and dippers
and am completely turned off by them, not
only there breath but the fact that they are
destroying their body..but it took me several
failures to get to that point, at one time I
quit for 1~ years and went back same way you
did...bottom line, you'll get there, it's
just one HELL of a lot harder than you could
have ever anticipated...tobacco is BAD CHIT..
once you acquire the attitude I have concern-
ing tobacco, you'll look back on this post
and say HELL YES, but until you do my friend,
my prayers are with you...

hey no one is perfect you didnot f-up you just had a slip and thats all it is,if you beat yourself up you will never get over it. it done its the past and there is nothing you can do to change it,but you have right now not the next day but right now and if you choose to be smoke free for this time,you will be fine and when the next day comes around just say today i willnot smoke if i want to it will be the next day,and start each day like this and live by and and you know what,the next day will never be there

 

[Senor Capper]

Looking forward to socializing with the new & improved smelling Jack

I too was a smoker and one time but,
now I know firsthand what I smelled like......
Smokers Reek BIG !!!

Never dated a smoker in my life. (cigs)

 

[yyz]

I am in the process of dating a smoker. I am not crazy about it, but if she can honk on Bo-Bo like she smokes, I'm in Fat City!

Don't kick youself, Jack

ohhhhhh I get it now! sorry Jack...cant expect a college student to get every story now!

[Nick Douglas]

It is only a small slip up. Ignore it and stay focused. Or you could just move to L.A. where smoking isn't allowed in bars and restaurants.

Hey Jack,
I'm on day 42 and still fighting every day to stay quit.Its not easy, but I do visit some sites which I find helpfull. Here are a couple of quitting tips from one of those sites:

* Consider the positive things about quitting, such as how much you like yourself as a non-smoker, health benefits for you and your family, and the example you set for others around you. A positive attitude will help you through the tough times
* If you slip and smoke, don't be discouraged. Many former smokers tried to stop several times before they finally succeeded. Quit again

It happens MJ, don't let it get you down.

Jack, ok so you slipped. No big deal, but you must stop there. It has been 32 days for me. It is not easy, and going to a bar has so many temptations (including smoking)

My story involves a similar seemingly innocent act. I had quit smoking for over 5 years. I went out to a bar with some buddies and decided to have just one cig. That one cig became a couple. Then every time I went out with the guys I'd smoke. Didn't want to be a leach, so I bought a pack. Big mistake, as I started the filthy habit again until I quit 32 days ago.

Don't be down on yourself. Go right back to your strength of quitting and remember how great you are feeling as a non-smoker.

YOU CAN DO IT!!

You have my email address, if you need anything let me know.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

No biggie Jack.If a person could just have 1 or 2 a day it wouldn't be that bad but we both know it don't work that way.Next urge just think of all the efforts from the past months and all the backing and proud smiles your family has supported you with floating out into the atmosphere with the smoke and I think that will deter you.However I don't think you will have a smokers relapse maining because it is obvious that the couple you had bothers you from your admittance,if you truely thought you would start back you would have let 1st smoke slide by without a 2nd thought.
Hang tough Jack.

 

[TIME TO MAKE $$$]

Go punish yourself!

Get the waitress to discipline you with a strap!!

SEPT 11, 2001. THE DAY THAT WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

R.I.P. TO ALL VICTIMS
We are in this together

 

[spanky2]

It's the darn drinks that make us want a smoke. I quit drinking for 3 months when I quit the smokes(2 years this Super Bowl).
I knew if I could avoid bars and booze, I could ,and DID quit cold !!
Hey, you had a minor SLIP,you don't have to beat yourself up on this. Next time you go for a cold drink,just don't slip.
Spanky....

Not to be brazen, but seems simple to me. Stop drinking. Good luck!
