6,918 Days Quit

Repost:  It's Not a crime to admit you are struggling....

Always ask for help - remember the 3 post rule.  I was either 4 or 5 years quit and had an extremely stressful situation come up and the thought of smoking came to me.  I came and posted to help and saved my quit.  I will never again smoke without asking for help.
Quitting is doable.

It’s NOT a Crime to Admit You Are Struggling……….rp
From melder7 on 1/1/2012 10:47:35 AM

….no matter HOW far into your quit you are.

One of the things that longer term quitters often try to avoid admitting in here is that urges can STILL occur even after you’d think we’d be long past them. Usually the reason that we DON’T like to discuss this kind of stuff is because nobody wants to discourage newer people just in case they see this as a deterrent to staying quit.

Well frankly I think it’s good that we talk about this stuff. This addiction can be tricky….by talking this stuff out we are much better able to avoid some of the traps that can occur if we see ourselves as being alone in our struggle.

Whether we are at day 1 or at day 1000……we are still on a level playing field when it comes to that “just one.” We can’t ever forget that.

But that knowledge is NOT something to fear or be ashamed to admit.

We are recovering addicts.

Hiding from the truth of that won’t protect us. Let’s face it……how many of us had such a great fear of the unknown that we were reluctant to even TRY to quit.

It’s o.k. to have urges………and it’s ok to talk about it no matter HOW long you’ve been quit.

I’m planning on being quit a very very long time.

That means looking this addiction head on.

Smoking and the DESIRE to smoke can be beaten

Getting there will probably require just a little bit of accepting that you will probably be tempted along the way.

The secret to getting there is do NOT smoke...NO MATTER WHAT.

(and yes you can)
