I slipped...I hate myself for it, I don't understand why I did it either. I didn't need one, I wasn't even craving one at the time. I got into a fight with my husband and baught a pack. I didn't even look at the pack until about three hours later when I put my son to bed, I had made up with my husband, poured myself a cup of coffee, walked outside and lit one up. I was completly relaxed and calm. After I did it, I figured I might as well enjoy it. But I didn't enjoy it. I just felt guilty and selfish. This morning when I woke up I felt like I had committed a crime. I miss feeling proud of myself. I haven't had one today and I don't plan on having one again.

Back on the wagon-reset your meter on here and in your head and today is the 1st day of the rest of your life.
I`ve slipped that many times, I should`nt have any bones in my body left, but we all crack-on and we can, together, beat this demon forever.
Welcome Back.
Tony.

Ok Robyn, we're all human and 'things' happen. Don't beat yourself up over your slip. That's all it was - a slip. However, did you throw out the rest of the pack?
Read through your tool section, grab your crave cart, take some long deep breaths and keep yourself busy. Don't dwell on yesterday... You did not commit a crime! Move foward hon.. You've done so well ,, keep on keepin' on!

Robyn,
I saw another thread you had started on the 17th about ..forever being so long.. Maybe that's why you slipped - thinking way too far into the future. Take baby steps hon.. One minute, one hour, one day at a time. Everyday is a new quit day, especially during hell week and then .. well as long as it takes. Everyone is different, but I think maybe you were putting way too much pressure with the word FOREVER.
We're here for you anytime .. There's always someone around - count me in as one of those people :)
Post often.. PLEASE!

Robyn, I also say don't beat yourself up over this, but I will repeat to you what I said to Imallclear. It touches my heart that there is a way for us to sit in our homes and talk to someone on the other side of the world. That I can sit in my home in California and talk to someone in the UK about quitting and we can help each other do this quit thing. We can help you understand. We can talk to you, teach you, laugh and cry with you. But only you can choose not to pick up and light another cigarette.
We are all around the world and we are rooting for you.

Well brush yourself off and come on back.... And watch out for Gonna, she has handcuffs and maybe a gun so you don't want to mess with her..........THROW AWAY THE SMOKES BEFORE SHE FINDS YOU!! First lesson learned - what you are going to do the next time stress hits (biting stearing wheel, throwing eggs, having a little tantrum, walking, slamming doors allowed - posting is required - buying smokes not an option)
You will do this....
