Megama, come on now...don't be down on yourself. Sounds to me you have learned a lot from this little experience. USE IT! Girl, I know you've got what it takes.
Keep yourself glued to this site for a while if you need to. Remember how absolutely awful in mind and body you felt after you had those nasty ol cigarettes. Think of what it would taste like to lick the bottom of an ashtray. Just to let you know, last night I was sitting at my pc, reading & posting to the SSC and I got a whiff of something...something nasty. I look over and there is a completely clean ashtray (I cleaned them all) with one measley butt in it (my boyfriend had a smoke the night before while we were fighting). I looked at it, my face smooshed up, and then I picked it up. What do I do next? I put the darn thing right up under my nose! It was the nastiest smell I can remember in a looooong time. Hearing what you went through after having those cigarettes...no way do I ever want to smoke that stuff anymore. Now you too know that those things are gross and nasty and they make us feel worse, not better.
Take a deep breath and get yourself back in these trenches with us!

From this point to the point where you walk through that door (if you decide to go), tell yourself that you will not smoke no matter what. Say it over and over and over. Look yourself in the mirror, repeat it. Believe it, know it. It's a mind game...start warming up that mind before you just jump in the game. You can do it!

Joy, I am SO happy to hear how well you are doing. :) That is just awesome. All that mental prep has you ahead of the game and you are well on your way to a smoke-free life. Most of us here have wanted or at least thought about quiting for a while before we got to this point, but it often takes us a while to really get our mind on board.
Make sure to read through the info here...it's is very helpful. Whenever you need some help or a pat on the back, stop on by...someone will be here to help you out.
I quit, that's it.

Glad to meet you Bypass. I am sorry about the health issues, but you are in the right place to do something very good for yourself. There are so many health benefits from quiting. You've got some practice in you, so now it's time for the final quit. Envision yourself as a non-smoker. Take a deep breath and realize that every breath you take from this point forward that you are getting healthier...go ahead...take a BIG DEEP BREATH RIGHT NOW. Feels good doesn't it!
