broken resolve

Hi all! It was New Year resolution to quit smoking and go cold turkey... Today on day one I did well... Threw away all the cigs I had and the whole day was fine... Come night and before sleeping all I wanted was one drag... Somehow there were four cigs in my bathroom... Probably hubby's... Who is also quitting with me... And I lit one! I hate myself after smoking.. Threw it after 3 drags but still... I cdnt even hold it for 24 hours... I feel like crap... Will restart tomorrow!

Please don't hate yourself, you went a whole day, and to make it easier try taking a glass or bottle of water to bed with you, everytime you think you need a cigarette, sip your water and enjoy the freshness. All the best to you and your hubby,

Honestly, for however many reasons the hardest times are the first few minutes, then hours etc... Just try again. Read a few hundred posts on this site to get an idea of where you are at and the hardships you may face. There is bound to be something that will make you think...

Good advice. Never give up on giving up. We on this site know it is hard and reading others experiences has helped me and others out so much. Good luck

Thanks all...going good so far...hope my stint continues...i know it will...determined after my first slip up!
