Poppy,
You are not a failure. You just had a little set back. The good thing is that you have not given up. Climb back on and give this addiction another bop upside the head. Hang tough, you can do this.
It is still the month of January, so you can still be an ash kicker.

Elizabeth,
Here is something from a post I made in the Coping With Withdrawl Symptoms section called Things to Avoid.
Hope this helps :)
Don't be negative. It's been said that the average person has approximately 66,000 thoughts in a given day, and two-thirds of them are negative. We can be so hard on ourselves! Don't beat yourself up for things you can't change, such as the years you spent smoking. Don't look at past quit attempts as failures. Learn from the experiences you've had and move on. Think about all of the positive changes you're creating in your life. Successful long-term cessation always starts in the mind. Focus on your purpose and develop an attitude of gratitude. We have a way of believing what we tell ourselves over and over. Don't feed yourself negatives. Affirm the changes you are working to create in your life, and action will follow more easily.
Welcome back to your quit!!!!
Tony :)

Hi BFS,
Good topic. Now that you mention society accepting cigars, I really dont recall any public service announcements showing anything against cigar smoking. They just cut down cigarettes. Which is rightfully so, but cigars should be included as chewing tobacco should be too. Tobacco is tobacco is tobacco. It all kills.

MrsRobinson,
Congrats on your new job. You will be missed, so keep us posted on your quit as much as possible. You could take some of the money being saved and buy a computer. Have a safe and smokefree move.
Tony :)

Groovekitty, Lady, Josie, Denisey, Golferman,
Thanks for the "attaboy". Thats a real pick me up.
The reason this article caught my eye was because it was simple, easy to read, and has a lot of common sense to it. I hope others (especially newbies) will read it. Has a lot of interesting things in there.
Tony :)
