Ok, I am putting the slip behind me. Its done and over. Im moving on from
here.Forgiving myself and getting over it.

It is important not to beat yourself up over this and move on. We all make
mistakes, it's part of life, it's how we rationalize the mistakes and what
we learn from it that matters most.

Now I just gotta work on solving the problems that seemed so overwhelming
that I chose to smoke to deal with my feelings about them. otherwise I
fear i may someday be making anothe post like the one I posted yesterday.
and I dont want to fuckng have to do that.

For me this was that hardest part of quitting, every problem that came along
"How can I deal with this?" and the old crutch came into play. Not to
discourage anyone and this applies to me, but it took a good two years for
me to reprogram that response. I tried as best I could to cruise along and
avoid any waves. It might explain why I am in the state I am today but now
for every crisis that looms I never once think "Ahh, a cigarette will make
this ok.".

I decided to reset my meter after all. I havent lost all that I gained
during the time I stayed smokefree. I did gain a lot. I will never forget
it.

Each failure is an opportunity for success, if you learn from it.

One day, 5 hours, 18 minutes and 48 seconds. 48 cigarettes not smoked,
saving $4.15. Life saved: 4 hours, 0 minutes.



Nice!
