I am starting my quit again today. I am so frustrated that I cant make it through a normal day. The only way I feel this will work is if I dont leave my house. EVER!! I want this so much but my mind gets the best of me and I feel like a complete failure. I am very disappointed in myself and I am very sorry for restarting my quit date.

Yes quitting is hard. It may be one of the hardest things we have done in our lives. Withdrawal from a drug is not easy. Just like any other drug you can not feed it and be free. Education is the key to a successful quit! If you do not educate yourself about nicotine addiction you may continue on a cycle of relapse. Quitting is a challenge but with a commitment not to take a puff no matter what, which includes whether you are inside or outside. It is and will always be a choice. I am sorry that you have not been able to be consistent. I always advise new members to stay close, Be here, participate, read, study, blog. Come here BEFORE you smoke. To stop the vicious cycle and not become a serial quitter take it seriously and analyze what caused you to smoke. Have a plan for what to do differently when you have the urge to smoke. Make a vow that you will not smoke if it happens again Get rid of all smoking materials it lessens the chances of being tempted. rt It is good that you are starting over. Never give up. Start with a commitment that NOPE to yourself no matter what so that you do not give up. Be prepared to hang tough. You will not die from quitting but from smoking.
