Give and get support around quitting
Here I am at the end of day three and i smoked..i feel such a sence of regret now that im done. There goes my three days. I ahould have kept the patch on longer
Giulia, I quit on my first try, cold turkey. I attribute it to my stubbornness and shear determination. To me quit means quit.... I didn’t make the decision lightly. I knew my last cigarette would be my last....

Yep, there goes your 3 days, but guess what? You have today to make it again. Go for it. Smoking is no longer an option if you quit and cigarettes are NOT the boss of you.

It is so ok. Dust yourself off when your ready, and begin anew!
it takes courage to come here, and then admit, you smoked.
Bravo!

JonesCarpeDiem, Beck37 So you both are one-time winners! How 'bout THAT! Wish I'd remained free back when I was 21 and had a year under my belt. Kudos and more power to ya!
I've quit several times. Once for a year. Just keep quitting until you get to the final one. What put me on top was finally admitting deep down that I was addicted and couldn't quit by myself. I researched a lot, read a lot, found this site, made my plan and used it. So far so good.
Stay strong. Dust off and try again. You'll get there.
Ok, so you fell off, the horse on day 3 is hard to ride. I know, I have many, many tries. Please get back on the horse that bucked you right away.
I know how you feel - most of us here do! Brush off the guilt and regret and just keep trying again. Take this as a learning experience to help you the next time! You can do this!!
