You don't need luck dullyboi! All you need is your self commitment and the motivation you have alrwady stated - to take back your life from nicotine addiction!! There's nothing better I can assure you. Congrats on 1 week. Awesome!

Gotta agree ... you're either quit or a smoker. There's no grey area when it comes to nicotine addiction. 1 is too many and 1,000 cartons are not enough! Free yourself with the help from others here or remain a slave to nicotine addiction. The choice is yours and yours alone.

Nope!

I used deep breathing to relax me when I was feeling anxious or tense. Found that relaxed me at least temporarily.

Did I miss something? -4

-11 Hey Tammy! I see you chicks are not letting up

I get that part about having a smoke while you plan how to tackle unpleasant tasks but now that I don't smoke, I view that a little differently. I now see that action as a delay mechanism. Go have a smoke so I don't have to deal with the issue head on. I'm much happier now just getting on with things and dealing with them quickly without smokey images clouding my thinking. Regardless of your situation, deep down inside you know that smoking makes nothing better - nothing! Life with all it's pleasures and challenges is always better as a nonsmoker so carry on Kate!

That happens to us all AK. That is the voice you need to ignore to be successful. The longer you turn your back on that demon, the weaker his voice will get. Soon enough, you won't hear him at all. Keep moving forward without cigarettes! Congrats on getting back to it right away. It's the right thing to do.

You didn't let us down as much as you let yourself down AK. I expect you are disappointed in yourself for having caved to the cravings ... deflated even but as others have said, reclaim your pride in accomplishment by learning a valuable lesson from this and get right back on the horse and ride it all the way to the barn this time. You CAN do it, just as many have before you. Relapse doesn't have to mean failure unless you let it be that. Use lessons learned as a stepping stone to a permanent quit!
