Martha, I think you are right, if we come together, we may realize that we aren't alone in this fight. I feel sooo alone.......no one else in my office has ever smoked, so they don't understand, my hubby is still smoking, although he doesn't smoke in our house, we haven't done that since my last quit attempt, and he doesn't announce when he is going out to smoke....but I always always know and it makes me so mad/upset/hurt that he gets to go and I don't. Such a struggle that would be so easy to give into at times!!!!

I slipped over the weekend, the hubby and I went out of town to a football game, we tailgated with some friends before the game, a little bbq, a few drinks and I picked up the hubby's smoke and had a few puffs from it.....oh how I regret it!! Haven't had any more though since that.
Now I'm fighting hard to not start back up again, and am thinking of going back on the Chantix (which I had quit taking as it was bothering my stomach, and I was having trouble sleeping), to help me cope, I think it is getting to be too much all on my own, the temptation is getting to be too overwhelming, my willpower is slipping and I'm afraid of doing it again.
I've beat myself up horribly over this and feel like such a failure, I had come so far and now this.

Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement!!! I honestly think I was ready for a bashing when I made that post. You all have helped me stop feeling so down about it and to get me back on the wagon with Unhooked hand! :)
I went home at lunch, got my Chantix, and have taken .5mg of it, called my doc, he suggested trying .5mg twice a day, and see how I do on that. Hopefully it will help take the edge off!
I'm going to be in the same situation again in less than 3 weeks, as we are going to another overnight trip to a football game, so I'm really going to have to get my guard up.
