Starting Over.

When I joined here in June 2011, it was because I had packed on 20 pounds in just 6 months being smoke-free. A year and a half of no smoking, and I started again. I finally, FINALLY lost the 20 pounds I gained. Now I'm back to the beginning. I'm using the patch this time, never tried it before. I had my last cigarette last night around 11:30 p.m. and I put the patch on before bed. Anyway, I seem to do well becoming a quitter; it's staying a quitter that is hard for me. UGH, I hate starting over again, and I'm terrified of gaining all that weight back. Anyway, good luck to everyone here, whether new or old to the group.

Can I ask you what made you start again after that long? I had a hell of a time in the first few days that I never want to experience that again (I went cold turkey). I use that as my motivation to never smoke again. Well, that and the fact that I don't want to be a smoker.
The good news is you have decided to be a nonsmoker again. If you want it, you can do it!0 -
It was work! Ugh. I was so stressed out, and a good friend at work smokes, so I started bumming one here and there off of her, and before I knew it, I was smoking again full time.0

Same thing with me. I stopped for 2 months and started again recently. I put on the patch and I found that I was ok without it after 2 weeks. I was doing really well. Recently I've had a lot going on in my personal life that stressed me out and I started taking one from my son, then two and needless to say it didn't stop there. I used to smoke 1 pack a day then over the last year cut down to half a pack then 0. Now I'm at 5 a day.
I've set my quit date for tomorrow. I know I can do it. I just seem to need support and motivation.0
