harder then one thinks

My quit date was yesterday and guess what?!? Yup I failed and damn I felt awful about it. I had it all worked out in my head but when the day came i failed. Today I bought a pack of smokes...I can't believe I did such a stupid thing really but yeah I bought a pack. So I smoke a few and all of a sudden I had enough, the taste was all wrong and the guilt, oh my, the guilt, that was the worst part. I stubbed out my smoke got a bin bag and threw the
lot away, including the pack which still had smokes in them. This was close to two hours ago. Since then I have not wanted a smoke and I hope it stays that way. When you work something out in your head then everything seems easy but truth be told it isn't. When it comes down to it, that very first step to not having a smoke for at least 24 hours is the hardest. I am hoping what I have planned will be far more effective then the plan I had before because nothing is worse then the frustration and guilt I felt earlier today.

When I gave up I smoked a packet in around 7 hours so made myself sick and the taste was so disgusting I never forgot it. Maybe you should get that pack out the bin and keep smoking till you cant smoke anymore.
May do the trick

And know that the first week is pretty tough and then you are chuffed enough to stay determined. Keep at it - keep trying. There isn't a single person here who found it easy. Best of luck and come back to this site often for moral support.

Your detirmination and your willpower will kick in. Be very kind to yourself.
Praise yourself for every smoke you don't have.
