I cant believed I has a smoke today!!

I had a slip up today!!
I have had my family over from NZ and my hubby home then today they all went. Hubby went to work for 12hrs and the Family headed back home. Was feeling really blue and gave into a smoke that I was craving. I had half a smoke and thought "what am I doing". It was the most disgusting taste and didnt give me that satisfaction that smokes ust to. Infact it made me feel a bit gross.
Hopefully that will be the only slip up if thats how it made me feel. Possibly going down to my friends on the weekend, who smokes, and it isnt uncommon for us to sit and chat and smoke a pack between us, so it will be hard but I think I will be ok as the smell is enough to turn my stomach and I can handle being around my chain smoking hubby.
SO Dissappointed in myself :(

Hi mrsbullfrog the temptation got the better of u and u slipped up it does happen just get back on track u will be fine.Many of us on this site have come close to having a smoke,It does take willpower and yeh its hard.Its good you realised how gross the cigarette tasted.Best of luck and remember yiu have plenty of support here

I agree with Roseyk! I think the slip up is a blessing. The next time the craving strikes and you are unable to resist you have loads more in the tank to remind you of reasons not to give in! It's a positive thing and one that I reckon can only help on your journey. If it happens again - remember the experience!
