Talulha,
 
Try not to let this slip get to you. Slips happen.  It is how you bounce back from them that is important.  Don't let this slip beat you and get your confidence down.  You can do this!  I suggest doing the, "Am I ready to Quit?" exercise in Milestone 2.  This Milestone will help you understand if you are indeed ready to quit.  If not, the program and the support group can help you get where you need to be to have a successful quit.
 
Remember, you can do this!  It sounds like you really want this.  What will it take from you to make this your final quit?

Hi Talulha,
What ever you do don't quit quiting and don't beat yourself up over your practice runs. When you really have had enough of smoking you will quit. Preparation and attitude are key. We have all been where you are at right now and all want for your success. Stick with us! You can do this!

thanks Lil, I live in Madrid and finding the translation for Cream of Tartar was amusing! I'll go to the local health shop in the morning and see what they can do. I appreciate you taking the time to answer.

try going to your grocery store and buying Cream of tartar it will be with the baking stuff, not tartar sauce (i got that mixed up at first, its a powder used for making angel food cake) and add 1 teaspoon to a glass of orange juice every night before bed and continue to smoke if need be but only smoke when you actually crave it and you will find your craving it alot less with each day that you have the cream of tartar, also get 250mg magnesium and take 3 times a day and 500 mg vitamin C twice a day and 1250mg of chlorella twice a day, it can be bought in capsule, tablets of powder form if you buy the tablets or capsules your have to chew them up so i suggest getting the powder because it tastes like pond scum, but as a smoker of 14 years and trying to quit many times i am finding this the easiest time I have ever had trying to quit. i did it cold turkey and have had little to no cravings. Hope this helps... all of these supplements can be purchased at any health food stores, and like i said the cream of tartar is at every grocery store!

I'm strarting to think that there's something radically wrong with me, I'm of average intelligence and know the harm I'm doing to myself  but I've gone and done it again, I've smoked. What will it take to get it through to me that I'm slowly poisoning myself, that nicotine does nothing for me and that I don't need it? I always start out with the best of intentions and then suddenly I just panic and smoke, and I don't even feel the satisfaction afterwards. I feel so stupid and pathetic , I so much want to stop but don't seem to be able to keep  it up. I've tried the patches, gum, Zyban, Champix and acupuncture. I think the only way to stop is to glue my lips together and cut off my hands! Seriously, if there's anyone out there who can help me please get in touch. I need all the help I can get, I'm desperate to stop. I've programmed another stop for tomorrow the 31st July and any help you can give would be  so much appreciated.
