Sorry I miss all the livestreams, I’m never free that time on a Saturday but I always watch them and they’re always informative, so thankyou. By the way it’s lovely to see you and Melissa happy together.💗😊
Hi Chris, nice to see you again. Sorry, i missed your live stream. I quit smoking for 4 days now cold turkey. Stopped smoking for 5 months and relapsed to smoking for 6 months. I'm glad I'm back on track to success to quitting smoking. Thank you for all your you tube videos. I'm trying to catch up with you so I can join your next scheduled latest live stream video. I got your book today. It's very helpful. Thank you. Reason for my relapse: I went to a gambling casino area and was exposed to cigarette smokers for prolong hours all morning and afternoon. My mistake was I asked for 1 cigarette when I couldn't stand it anymore. I almost blamed my wife for bringing to the casino but I take all the blame and fault because I'm the one who asked for that one cigarette.
You, and other stop smoking efforts, have previously given the answer to the "firm decision to relapse". The person in this position needs to remember that relapse means all the negative aspects of smoking will rapidly become part of life again. It is not succumbing to a pleasant habit but plunging again into addiction. The first cigarette = everything on the list of negatives ranging from cost to illness... My husband who was much older than me (I am a child of the 60's), had an extremely annoying way of addressing things like this. He was raised at a time when people had to accept the responsibility of working and being contributing members of society. No excuses were allowed and failure to achieve the minimum was also moral failure. This attitude got people through The Depression & WWII. Anyway, he said people who took drugs or got into patterns of destructive behaviour, "WANTED" the consequences, thus no sympathy should be given. "They walked into it with eyes wide open and they WANT to (be addicted or whatever) and they WANT (the consequences). They couldn't WAIT to try (whatever) and get hooked! You can't say they didn't WANT it! (the consequences)" He and I had a number of arguments over such a harsh evaluation which applied to subjects other than drug addiction, but it just struck me that that sarcastic attitude might be part of the answer to the question about intentional relapse. OK, fine, want to relapse? Then you WANT to smell, be socially marginalized, cough, smoke up huge amounts of your paycheck, etc. Say this to yourself & imagine the sarcasm intended in the words. Embrace the consequences of your decisions because you KNOW what will happen and since you KNOW the consequences, if you proceed, you WANT the negative results! (At this time everyone is a victim* one way or another. That is too far in the opposite direction. My husband had no bad habits and was an extremely successful businessman. I did not agree with all of his attitudes but they supported his success. I just feel the need to say here, that he was also a very kind and decent person though some -- including me -- may see his attitude as harsh. I inherited his business and am quite serious when I say I intend to support medical research. ) *[One driving force behind my interest in the smoking issue comes from increasingly government directed doctors in the state of Oregon, about 20 years ago, deciding to terrorize, marginalize and neglect patients who could not stop smoking. Some of the consequences were life threatening. A few years later, patients received even worse treatment if they politely turned down "cessation classes" before anyone even knew the meaning of that term. NOW....LOL! LOL! LOL!........ official government and medical writings have identified all sick people as victims of society, race, economics, etc. Since the less educated, poorer segments of society smoke more than wealthier segments, the "burdens" of "smoking induced illness" are much greater upon these victims. It will be interesting to see where this BS leads. LOL!]
