A sad lesson, indeed, but a lesson all the same. I had no intent for anyone else to relapse. I just felt in order to move away from this that I should be honest. I meant no harm. It always used to make me stronger when a person with more time than me relapsed. Please let's keep moving! I am already back on my new Quit. I realize I have set a bad example, so let's just use it as that, an example! Come on, I didn't die or leave! I can hear you!

Brenda_M: Listen, Terrie, you never have to apologize for honesty. If someone were to use your relapse as an excuse to relapse, it's exactly that, an excuse. I am glad you came here and told us.

I like that you said, "Come on, I didn't die or leave," because with whatever this whole Mark/Terrie glitch thing is on top of everything else, I feel a tiny bit off-kilter, so appreciate the reality check. I'm here! You're here! We're all here! 😃

Take care of you, friend!

Hello, I am a 59 year old female, name Terrie, still growing up. I have moderate COPD. I am an oxygen patient, currently not in need of the 24/7 or night time oxygen. Thanks to all the great support and education I got here on EX. My original quit date was 07/06/15 on day 519 I relapsed and started over in less than 24 hours. I want to go to the great beyond being a former smoker and I shall! COPD is not choosy! and not pretty! May 1rst, 2017 I am using Dale's suggestion to put off a cigarette each time and I am down from 50 to 20. I am looking forward to my old(7-6-2015)/new quit date 7-6-2017 May 4th, 2017 I started with Marlboro reds. Nicotine is a very assinine addiction. Once addicted I found I would smoke any of it including the little cigar/cigarettes, and it's still true since I threw away my quit and stopped being true to myself. I will smoke ANYTHING with nicotine in it to get the fix. I hate smoking! I am not having a problem stopping it's staying stopped, that I am not doing! I do not buy anything but regular tobacco but if caught without it I will do anything except vape to get the fix. UPDATE POSTED 04/24/2018: Getting ready to set a quit date and begin again :)
