    Default aahh...mini smoking relapse

    yesterday i was celebrating with friends and ended up taking three puffs off a cigarette (blah...i remember why i hate it). i had successfully quit since last september. in the middle of the night i woke up with what felt like symptoms of nicotine withdrawal....not just a craving, but the hard core feelings. is it possible to have been readdicted from three puffs? or is it just mental?

    i finally fell asleep again after taking a double dose of ativan. am feeling a bit jumpy now (probably due to the morning coffee), but am otherwise fine.

    i am not going to take another puff ever again! but i'm wondering if my body has to go through the entire withdrawl process again...or if last night was a fluke of sorts.

    any advice from someone experiencing something similar would be appreciated.

    thanks in advance. i realize this was a stupid thing to do, but am now interested in damage control. hoping and praying i don't have nicotine WD's all over again...that was terrible enough for my quit.

    Sorry to hear about your mini-relapse...I can completely relate to this situation. I wouldnt really worry too much about three measly puffs...you are probably experiencing some psychological affects, but I dont think that you're readdictecd. Good luck, and try hard not to give into temptation!

    thanks foxxee,

    i think you're right in that my whole dilemma is psychological. i've been fine all day (no cravings or anything) despite working a day shift in a smoke-filled environment.

    so all is well...no withdrawals...woohoo thanks for the encouragement and reminder.

    Hey! I just did the same thing! 5 months quitting, couple of drags last night! But I haven't craved a damn one today. In fact, I hate myself for that. Be strong, stick to your guns!

    If anything, a relapse of any addiction may reaffirm to you why you decided to quit in the first place.

    yup, Ryan hit the nail on the head. Just use it as a lesson and YES, beat yourself up for it. Good for you that you quit. I haven't.

    Parent yourself when you slip, reward yourself when you are good.

    Juliet , you've heard the alcoholic's slogan, "One is too many and a thousand is not enough." Better have the nicotine patches on hand.
