Not feeling too good, just need some encouragement/motivation/positivity

I still want to tear this room apart to find a pack of cigarettes, but not as bad as I did yesterday. Please I'm just looking for some encouragement/or reassurance/positiveness. I've been smoke free for 9 years, 4 months and 2 days (august will be 9 years, 5 months and 2 days).

I have a relative who hated it when I smoked, but in the back of my head is this voice almost screaming, they won't know if it's just one!! I know I have to stay smoke free. Any and all help is appreciated :) I need to hear why I shouldn't smoke. Because I am literally thinking about hopefully finding a pack.

Have a spendid day 😊

I know this battle all to well but with alcohol. I just recently celebrated 6 years sobriety which is a first. Am i worried about a relapse...absolutely because I have been wanting a drink for 2 weeks now.

Keep busy when you have these cravings. Hold an ink pen like you would if you had a cigarette. Gum also works.

Just remember you got this...one cigarette isn't worth undoing all the hard work you have accomplished
