Penguin - don't stay away too long. And don't be too hard on yourself. Each attempt you make is another step on the journey to being quit. Some people need more steps to complete the journey than others do. Look at it this way, you know you've made it this far once, so when you feel ready, you can definitely do it again. That's what has helped me a lot.

Penguin, My heart goes out to you, we all fight this horrid addiction every day. We all have triggers, and struggles that seem to drag us down until we learn how to go through them. I know that your day is coming when you will be smoke free. Because I believe it is the desire of you heart.

Hey Penguin, I know how disappointed you are right now but please, don't beat yourself up. It's harder to get back up on your feet when you do that. You're a strong person and I know you'll be back on this wagon in no time. We'll wait for ya.

Penguin, I am so sorry to hear of sadness in the rookery. As you may know I had a small slip, one cigarette and that was driven by a death in the family. I did not think it was serious enough to reset the quit meter. It was a small slip, not a relapse and that one was the end of it. Don't give up. Get right back to the business of quitting. It might take some self-examination. You are a non-smoker in your heart, just externalize what is inside you.
