Do This If You Had A Slip-Up or Relapse After Quitting Smoking

Done over a year nicotine free now thanks to you 🫁❤

I had people around me smoking, & I felt that I was terribly craving a cigarette (I quit cold turkey on Oct. 3rd, 2021), then someone handed me a cigarette...and I thought about what I was really craving, & it was totally emotional, & I thought of all of the positives healthwise & financially that I've gained over the past 17 months, & that "craving feeling" disappeared, & I gave her back her cigarette. This has happened many times, and I constantly work on becoming emotionally healthy & strong❤ Thank you for your supportive videos😊

Btw, your videos helped me quit smoking 2yrs ago coming to 3yrs April 3rd😊

I was on the third day. I couldn’t resist having one. I smoked it and I hated myself. Thanks to you I feel better knowing that I am not weak.

I did relapse after 5 years And I started with one sigi and 3 days after I bought one packet after 5 years smoking again I started to quit 6 days Quitting experience was best moment in my life

I have quit now for 3rd time, each time i get bad depression after a few weeks and start again. i will persevere as i have serious health issues.😅

I had my first lapse after completing the program, 16 days before I reached two months nicotine -free. I experienced no enjoyment form my lapse. I am on my quit journey from vaping, so instead of buying the $20+ fruity vapes, I bought one from the $5 bin. I knew in my mind it would be temporary and I just needed comfort to get through the evening. The next day I trashed it. But then, the third day I lapsed AGAIN, and I went and got another $5 vape. This vape was even worse, I do no idea why I was smoking it. On the fourth day, I recommitted. and I decided I must keep moving forward in my journey. In a little more than a week I will still celebrate making it to two-months nicotine free. Even though I have more to go, I am really proud of the work and results so far!

I relapsed and was so disgusted and angry with myself that I just could not get restarted on the program again but I just finished watching the video on slip-ups or relapse it motivated me to stop beating myself up and get back in the program and look deep onto what I didn't do that got me off track thank you so much.

I am here because for the first time in 2.5 years I have found myself smoking again. I think that I flirted with the idea of "Its one puff, I can handle this" when I took a drag off of a friend. Before I knew it, I was socially smoking. Now, I am smoking 4-6 a day. I am going to be so honest, I am really scared. I am feeling like "You got yourself back into one of the furthest holes you could fall into again" and I cannot afford any programs to quit. So this information matters to me.

I threw away over half of my last pack when I had a brief relapse last year. That helped a lot as it was like throwing money away. I am coming up on a year smoke-free and have been trying to kick the habit for a long time now. These videos have helped a lot. Thank you.

Thank you so much for everything! I’m Coming up on two years smoke free, you saved my life! These videos are changing lives and saving the world one person at a time! 🎊 😊❤

I remember when I relapsed many years ago, I WANTED to smoke I had a conscious desire to smoke even after six months, the reason being I needed a release and smoking used to be my release as well as a couple of beers. It's not rational behaviour and it took me a while to figure it out. Never take another puff.

I had a slip up but your advice is helping

I tried quitting for the first time and on the 4th day i caved and smoked and immediately after i put it out I regretted it

I have just relapsed after my 15th time of trying in 3 years. I got to 17 hours but I feel SO UNMOTIVATED to do ANYTHING in my day when quitting - I feel paralysed mentally and physically, even though I feel great for the first 5 hours. Something just snaps and I don't have '10-minute cravings' as all the advice says, my craving and discomfort is permanent and lasts hours until I give in. I use smoking to motivate me to do tasks in my day and I don't know how to overcome it.

It's been four months now since I had my last cigarette. After 3 months, I felt really great and proud that my first and last quite smoking attempt was a succes. Last week unfortunately I made the mistake of using a vape (e-sig) - after a concert I was in a euphoric mood. Now my cravings are back, like I am in the first week of quitting smoking cigarettes. Yesterday I almost gave in to the cravings. I realise now that quitting smoking is something that you have to work on 24/7, the false sense of victory can be deceiving. Good luck guys!

I vaped for years. I quit on Thanksgivng of this year cold turkey. I gave in to the cravings and just smoked half a black and mild. I feel terrible about it. You’re right; I cannot let this lapse get in the way of my overall improvement. I let myself down, but when that happens, I have to pull myself back up. I do not consider myself at day one again, but I did lose some progress. Here’s to the collective struggle, and rising above. Cheers everyone, and a happy New Year.

I was on day ten and I relapsed with seven cigarettes in a single day, the next day I decided to not blame myself that much and started quitting again. Now I'm on day seven, and it's weird, because I feel like things got much better, as if that relapse didn't affect me as much. For day seven, I surprisingly have one to none cravings... I can say that I feel great. I hope that nothing bad happens, because some things make me want to relapse again

I can't seem to change my smoking identity. I quit 9 months ago. For 7 months I didn't lapse. I started this program but didn't do it all the way and had a hip replacement that I had chose for my quit date because by the time I was off the drugs the nicotine would be out of my body. I'm 62 and started smoking at 15. I finished the program but still see myself on my back deck smoking and just relaxing. All summer last year I avoided my favorite spots thinking if I just lasted long enough it would go away. I wish I had been more serious about the program before I quit because maybe I wouldn't still be wanting to do my old patterns. I smoked with my friends at my favorite ranch and I felt such relief, this is me! I consider every time I do this a lapse because I haven't went back to my normal and have not bought cigarettes even though I have thought about it, luckily I have not. I just want to be done with thinking about it at all. I know this is a slippery slope and I'm glad you taught me not to persecute myself. I journal the lapse and call it a day.
