Hi Margie, as I write this I feel like a hypocrite but I don't intend too, ok? I've been where you are and I cringe to think it took me a year to come back and try again because I was so frightened. Two things pop into my head immediately. One, always carry a pack of nicorette gum or spray in my purse for when these things happen. Nicotine in itself is not cancerous, just highly addictive. So spray away but never light up. And two, don't leave it very long befre you start to quit again, you're just prolonging the fear. You've made it four months until this relapse and that's amazing! It's not even three weeks since you posted this, so the 4 month of staying quit really out numbers the recent relapse. I'm writing this so if this happens to me, I can come back and read it to get perspective again.
