Hi Everybody,It's taken me all day to build up the courage to admit to you all my mistake.So last night was a good family moment for us we had just booked a Gold Coast holiday very exciting since my kids have not yet been on a plane and the last holiday we had was real basic. I had also just finished a major 3000 word essay that I struggled with! So glass of wine with dinner and I was bragging how well I was doing now on day 16, 20 mis later I was in the car off to buy some! Why, I hear you ask. I don't know, but I am super cross with myself and have felt so sick all day. Maybe this slip upwas just a reminder of this discusting habit.I'm sorry to let you all down but I am just calling it a bad moment and will continue my journey and posting.16 days and 1 slip up will now be the description I will use.Well done to everybody who is doing well and even though you might think you would like a smoke, PLEASE trust me you will hate it!!

Forgot to mention, smoked bout 4-5 last night, then chucked them and back to none today!

Hi there Nic,
Honestly dont beat yourself up about slipping up, we are humans after all and we learn from our mistakes.
Hopefully you have learned by slipping up,You didnt like the fact that you did,It reinforced to you that it is disgusting etc etc.
Please stay strong and keep going, because we have all done what you have with our previous attempts and never found the strength to keep on this journey,Was just to easy to keep smoking and live with the guilt.
So stay on track, stay strong and put the past behind you.Dont be too hard on yourself..
Good luck xxxx

Nic, it's :OK" it can happen... I mean the most important point is that you realized by yourself that it was not worth it and u were even disgusted :)
It's been 12-13 days that i stopped but i have some times big big big cravings.. like every quitter :)))
So keep going and no matter what... 16 days is an achievement.
Good luck Nic

Hey Nic Suceed,a slip up can happen to anyone, don't be too hard on yourself,start again. you will learn from that and maybe the fact that it happened and you now know it did not bring a good feeling is something to earn from. Well done for choosing to continue on this journey. we are all rooting for you so , put it behind you, and stay strong.
