Curious about the relapse/chain crowd..

Recently, I went on a trip and have picked up some bad smoking habits while partying. I started to smoke a few cigs a day since for a month. Little did I know, I was starting to smoke.

I always say, "it's the last one", but that's never the case.

I've never been like this before and recently find myself really lethargic, and fatigued..

Hi Froglet,

With each cigarette you smoke the habit will become stronger and the fatigue and lethargy you are feeling is a normal reaction to the poison you are putting in your body.

I remember how I felt when I smoked, I didn't feel good, I didn't look good, and I certainly didn't smell good. I read a book by Allen Carr that helped me quit, but basically it was up to me to do it. I was at the laundry mat and right before I left there I smoked my last cigarette and said that it'd be my last one forever. I went home and I tossed everything that was smoking related, Ash Trays (even in my car at the time), lighters, etc. Of course I had the urge to go back smoking early on and I found the best way to fight off those urges was to drink a glass of water.

Here I sit with over two years of not smoking, so it is possible to drop it and walk away. Just remember to drink a lot of water early on.
