This is a Sassenach here!
(You will know what I mean)
If an Englishman can do it after 50 years surely a hardened Jock can cope.
I notice a huge pile of cigarette ends this side of Hadrians Wall.
Are they yours?

I am here right now. On my lunch break. Reminding myself of a good life without the fags!

Oh thanks so much for all the support. Phil, you cheered me up with your cheeky comment. I truly believe it's all mind over matter. I see now that while NRT has its place, it is only prolonging the inevitable - cold turkey. I am confident I can break out of this again but I see me using the site an awful lot in the future. I remember how good I felt without cigarettes, how nice I smelled and how proud my friends and family were of me. Let's face it, what's the point of me slapping on the make up and nice clothes if I stink of smoke???
I look forward to being supported and thanks again. It's really heartwarming to know you are all out there. :)
I can't believe it but I started again. All be it a few fags here and there but still started. I had to come off the NRT patches as I had an allergic reaction and then I just seemed to go completeley off the rails for a week. Now trying to get back on track as from today but feel almost like it's impossible. I have a cold and a sore throat since I stared again and my mood is very low. I am angry at myself. I was doing so well................

Please, please don't beat yourself up!! I would say in this case talk to your doctor, see if there is something else to help you. I asked my doctor for wellbutrin, and it worked like a charm. It is not for everybody though.
Just don't quit quitting. You can do this, it just may take a few tries. What was your trigger? Go over your coping mechanisms, learn from it and move on.
