After being on the quit list for 8 years I have fallen off the wagon and

the quit list as soon as I can get my head wrapped around what happened.

Please take it as gospel when someone tells you that you will be just
one puff away from smoking again. I thought I was strong enough to have
just one. It didn't work. I am soooo depressed about this I could almost
cry. Please please don't take that first puff. I now realize that I am
addicted to tobacco. Just like a drinker is addicted to alcohol.

I have to start my quit all over. I am not sure how I am going to do
this. To make things worse I have heart disease, diabetes, Rheumatoid
Arthritis and COPD.

Please pray for me. Please.

I am so sorry to hear about your smoking. Please quit soon again. As
sooner as you quit as easier it will be. Don't let your body get used
to the addiction and change your behaviour to accomondate smoking. You
have been quit for 8 years that is a long long time, you can do it
again.

maybe looking at what happened and how it happens can help to prevent
it from happening again.
