Hi Tina3869 - somewhere along the way today, I read in one of your posts that you had previously quit for 2-1/2 years and have been smoking again for about a year.
That is exactly my story! I smoked for 25 years, quit for 2-1/2, relapsed for 10 months, and here I am.
I'm sure you'll agree that making the decision to quit this time seemed harder than the 1st - I think because we know that it really HAS to be the last time. And that forever, we can't let our guard down and be less vigilent.
I can't even say that I had a good reason for starting again - I think it kind of snuck up on me when I didn't expect it. From the 1st cheat, I did hold out for almost 2 months before I was buying packs again.
Now I'm up to 40 days, feel much better, and started running again. You are doing great pre-planning - holding out in the morning is an amazing step - I'm sure you will be your strongest by August 1st.
Take care,
sushik
