Shaila, I,ve just finished reading all of the responses to your 'blowing your quit' -- well, I blew mine too. I've set a new quit date for this Friday. I know how you feel. I feel awful about falling off the wagon too. We've got our reasons ( excuses ! ) but it's like soneone else said - the fact that we're posting about it , says that we haven't lost site of our goal yet - & what soneone else said - we're fricking addicts !!!!!! I hate that & i can tell that you do too. I feel like such a weakling, but after reading all the responses to your post I already feel stronger & not quite so bad about myself. We'll do it again. And next time we'll have learned better to cope & feel that much stronger to NOT let those poison sticks rule our otherwise healthy lives. We have to keep reminding ourselves how much better we'll feel about ourselves when we DO CONQUER this !!! Reward ourselves more? Fight the urges with rewarding activities at the weak times ?? Like everyone says - the urges really do pass rather quickly -- I quit for 6 days & felt good & proud - but I guess I let pressures, whatever , get to me. Let's DO IT AGAIN !!! We CAN DO IT !!! Right ?? And WE WILL.

Things happen, Shaila. Never give up though. Don't beat yourself up either. Everyone here would love to see you jump back on bandwagon! Think things through, and do this for YOU. You are never alone in this fight. All the best to you.

Whatever you do dont quit quitting. Remember the first few days are hell and with just a quick puff you have to start all over again. Keep going. I KNOW its hard I have been there........ Scary bit is now to get off the patches because you never know if they work or not intilyou stop!

Oh Shaila, I am so sorry to here that. It just goes to show how powerful this addiction really is. It is also cunning and baffeling. You had a post last week about what makes you sad. Well this makes me sad.Come back to us when you are ready. Learn from mistake and arm yourself for the battle.

OH NO! Jump back on with us quickly! If that's not an option right now, do like Pen said---reflect, dig down deep and gather the strength and do it again! Sending a prayer your way---make sure you catch it! :)
