Mary, arm yourself!! Anytime you go to war you need be ready. Get some cold water, mints, gum, jelly bellies, fruit, whatever sounds good and is healthy. Look at exercise, reward yourself, those early quit days are so hard fought, that the rewards are sweet and really help mentally. Mary you are worth this, right?

Thank you Ladies so much. I know what you are saying about dealing with things as a non smoker. Just cause you quit doesn't mean the stress goes with it. I will do my best to come here first next time.

Hi Mary, I agree with Unhooked and Anna. You're not serving any purpose by beating yourself up. You're okay. Just don't smoke anymore. :) And...like Unhooked said, please let us know if you need help before you give in again, k? :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/25/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 91 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,730 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $532.35 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 45 [B]Seconds:[/B] 8

Mary, be easy on yourself. Decide if you want to quit or continue to smoke and move on.

Mary, being mad at yourself won't change anything or accomplish anything, so stop that. Do you want to be quit, mary? That's the really important question you have to answer for yourself. Because if you do, you learn from this slip that family pressures are a bad trigger for you. And then you make a commitment to deal with those pressures without smoking. Can you think of a time in your life when smoking actually affected the outcome of any problem or stressful event? I can't. You know you didn't just "find" your husband's smokes, you went looking. Promise yourself if you want to do that again, you will come here first, post for help, and wait for 5 replies before you go looking. Promise. A slip is not the end of the world, & it doesn't have to be the end of your quit. Lots of us have slipped, I have, and we have found that we can turn it into a positive thing by learning from it & getting right back up on the wagon & going forward. Take my hand, mary, shout "woohoo!", hold on tight to the wagon rail with your other hand & you can't light up now. You can do it, you did it for 8 days.
