I messed up

I smoked today. I wasn't thinking. I had a panic attack in the middle of cleaning a house. So I went to store and bought cigs. 

Now I am just crying. 

What do I do from here?

You do what 100% of the successful quitters on this site did when they slipped. You drown the pack, make a real commitment & begin again. Just sayin.

Keep on keepin on,

You sound like me - I quit the first 5 days then got a pack.  Now since I have tried to quit 3 weeks ago, I have had 4 packs.  This sounds terrible, but I normally would have smoked 21 packs. Gonna keep starting again...

Hi. When I talked myself into smoking all those times I used ( anger, anxiety, guilt, hurt) as my "excuse" to go get a pack. I would work myself up to the point that smoking (seemed like it) was my only option. The sadness, guilt etc. is only gonna keep you down and smoking, from my experience. You can and will be able to cope without cigarettes. Im a work in progress. 62 days. I have smoked 28 yrs. of my 42 yrs of life. I have never quit more than 3-10 days at a time. It can be done!!  Read everyday about addiction, smoking, blog etc. even if you reread things. Keep it fresh and close. Take care. Be kind to yourself.

You are not alone.  I too have felt these panic attacks and ran to the drug store for 'just one' pack.  If your true goal is to quit - you will.  In lieu of letting this mishap getting you down turn it into a source of courage and commitment.  As a baby learns to walk step by step - so you will quit smoking trial by trial - day by day.  You WILL reach your goal one day soon an be able to rejoice in your victory.  Keep stepping!!!!
