Ok, I'm back on my journey and determined to succeed once again. I know I can, & I know what can happen if I slip up again. Even more reason to be strong. 2 full days free and have hardly given cigarettes a thought. Still a long way to go to get back to my recent 60 days free, but each and every day counts. In my mind I detest cigarettes but even though I slipped, I see the past few weeks as a help to me in becoming a permanent non-smoker.....or a smoker who no longer smokes. I was smoking again, not a lot, but enough to be sooo disappointed in myself, & disliking everything about them. I didn't go back to my regular pack a day addiction, but even so, I was smoking. I'm not expressing myself very well here, so I hope people understand what I'm trying to say. I'm not beating myself up, I don't feel like I've failed, I just feel even more determined if anything.

Hi Judes, i fully understand what you are trying to say and i am sure others do too. You are not the first and won't be the last to have a slip up whilst trying to quit smoking. Just look at it as a lesson and be kind to yourself....... at least you stood up, brushed yourself off and continued on your journey. Cheers ... Good luck.
