Good for you for returning to your quit.  I'm very glad you did.

I think I know why you smoked.

You only quit last week?

Most people give themselves permission to smoke for a variety of reasons. 

Please use self talk. It's your greatest tool.

EVERY TIME you think of smoking or want to smoke, say, "I don't do that anymore."

Do it for ONE WEEK and watch the difference.

@Julie1960 You smoked because you're addicted like the rest of us.  But now that' behind you.  You've learned what not to do--that's what is important.   You got this.

And remember, if you think about smoking reach out first.  That's what support groups are for.

One day a time!

This can be your forever quit - if you believe it is! You can do this!

Great advice above. I would also suggest you think about what was happening...what may have triggered your reaching for that smoke. And then, think about what you will do the next time that happens. We all have/had triggers........things that almost put us on autopilot to a smoke. It is knowing what these are and then deciding what you will do when it happens again that helps you keep your quit. AND...as others have said, come here and "talk"-----it's what the site is for.

You CAN do this!
