There is no going back or waffleing if It's a "done deal".
Make your decision a "done deal" and stop playing games with yourself
ACCEPT that you decided to NOT smoke then it's not a fight.

Waffles are fattening! But seriously... not fighting myself... I made a decision... and a LOT has happened that is stressful and sad... but I knew that no matter when I quit something stressful would happen... that is LIFE... but I knew I didn't want to smoke... so I didn't.... not one hit since I quit... NO EXcuses... Thanks Dale
Don't want to be a half ass so I will stick with this.
Boy if this isn't so true. Fighting and willpower are the first way to let nicodemon get started! Read about this on quitsmokingonline.com. The more time you fight the more you get amped up. Then nicodemon tells you this is a big deal and you can't and poor you and blah blah. Then you spiral down. Swat nicodemon to the curb the minute he hits, do something else (Youngatheart's list is terrific), and then ye shall overcome. Fighting = giving nicodemon credibility. Wrong answer! Thank you Dale!
This absolutely hits home for me! Once I made the decision, I was committed to 'no going back'! I didn't care if I had to hide under a rock for a month or if I was screaming and yelling at everyone! So what if, "leave me alone" was my mantra for week or I couldn't remember simple words like "spatula" and "file cabinet"! My favorite Aunt was very sick and in the hospital, my dog cut his leg and needed stiches, my husband lost his understanding demeaner and was ready to file for a divorce (not kidding) and I had two miserable weeks at work....... but smoking just wasn't an option in my life anymore!
It can't say it made quitting easier, but it also didn't make quitting harder....it just wasn't in my behavioral choices anymore! I don't smoke anymore for any reason! I have to admit that even at 6+ months and with my resolve, drinking makes me nervous! I have made stupid choices in the past when over served!!! The solution, easy....limit cocktail intake!
