Give and get support around quitting

I'm going to need some support, I fell back a few steps

Recently my boyfriend and I broke up and I didn't want to be in the house by myself so I went out with my friend that I haven't seen in quite awhile. She works doing karaoke at certain places and I love going with her to sing. While I was out, I had a few drinks and ended up smoking. The next day, I didn't smoke at all and it was okay but the day after that I went out with her again and smoked. Tonight I smoked. I feel horrible when I do it and I know that I don't want to be a victim of this crap. I want to quit so tomorrow I'm starting over and I'm not going to smoke. I just wanted to share my frustrations and get some support here. Thanks everyone.

This is so true, just make sure you value the decision you made to quit. get some supportive friends and educate your self about what the cigarette companies are putting in smokes to keep us hooked. You can do this because you don't want to smoke anymore. I had the a simular experience I think about 21 days into my quit, I went to a casino the first time in fifteen years as a nonsmoker and was tempted by smokes all over the place. I did not give in, but it was a mental battle. I got on line and chatted with some friend when I got home about how hard it was to resist the urge to smoke. I even cried, because my mind told me that I only had 3 weeks behind me so what have I just have a puff. I ended up telling my mind that Im going home where it's safe beause I knew I valued my quit, I went home feeling like I had a weak victory, but I can say now that Im 3 months without a puff, that was a huge victory for me. You can do this. Im here for support if you need it. Just keep in mind you are not smoking because you don't want too. The mind usually don't argue with that statement when you tell it that.
