twenty one days, says yes I can do it if i really, really want to. The most difficult part was over. Always remember to just say no. Discard the pack and lets stick to it.

lladro, You've experienced a slip. Learn from it and keep going. One cigarette does not erase all the progress you've made and the sooner you get back to your quit, the easier it will be. This is a learning experience and only practice makes perfect! Danielle _________________________ The SSC Support Team

If you are really disappointed in yourself then get rid of the pack, get back on your quit and don't smoke anymore. There is only one way to quit. We have all had failed attempts at quitting. We are addicts and as addicts we cannot ever have one puff again. When you smoke you put nicotine back into your system and you are starting the process all over again. You have to want the quit more than anything! When your desire to quit outweights your desire to smoke, you will succeed. Smoking doesn't do anything for you. Smoking kills. Get back up and fight for your life!

lladro, Hi. I have been where you are; most of us have. What lead up to you making the decision to go buy a pack? Was it a stressful situation, a bad craving? What? 21 days is an awesome accomplishment when it comes to giving up nicotine; so you know that you can do it. When those cravings come, if you want to be free from this addiction, you can not let them control you. You have to DISTRACT yourself, DELAY taking that puff. Come and read here, go for a walk, take a warm bath; do anything but light that next ciggie. Today, don't resign yourself to the fact that you have to smoke all day. You can get right back on your quit. Have a little ceremony, break each cig one by one, drench them with water, bury them in your backyard and say a little prayer...recommit yourself to your quit. It is worth the effort. Hang in there.
