Hey guys, I just found this on the prospect of my smoking cessation med. Should I worry?
Thanks…

I was up to 300 days smoke-free when I caved in and bought a pack in the middle of the night. I see it as a blip on the screen and will be back to abstinence right away! Hopefully I can put this behind me and keep being a non-smoker!

I stopped smoking cold turkey 5 years ago and haven’t had a cigarette since that.
But I think a relapse might not be necessarily a bad thing, it might be a thing that inspires you to stay smoke free even harder in the future! What is important is what you do after relapse smoke. Do you continue smoking or do you get more power to stay smoke free.
I think it is best to stop smoking when you are somewhat stable mentally. It might be difficult to quit when you’re having a hard time. That might lead to relapse and disappointment.
I was a bit lost at the beginning of quitting, my feelings were all over the place. But it got easier over time.

I tried Champix and had a suicide attempt. Instead of asking my GP the psychiatrist gave me ECT,s. It’s kind of arrogant they don’t work together with ordinary doctors.

It’s the idea of not smoking anymore that stops me from quitting. Smoking has become such a deeply ingrained habit. It’s part of who I am now.
But if I did manage to quit I’d be expecting nervousness to ensue, maybe anxiety. Not full blown psychosis.

I think when you are mental wellbeing improves you make healthier choices to extend your life and not shorten it. Mentally well people quit smoking easily or smoke in a more controlled way. Or never smoked in the first place.
