Don’t beat yourself up Redhead101 .. start over...re read everything you possible can read on site...also, try and don’t give you an option to smoke...for example, you have a crave...what can you do then go and smoke? How about taking a walk, biting into a lemon, do jumping jacks...etc., retrain your brain...”You don’t do this anymore, so what can you do...?”  Don’t feel defeated...keep close to us ... ~ Gotcha on my mind...~ Colleen 312 DOF

Don't waste time or energy beating yourself up.  It serves no purpose!

Jump right back on the wagon.  First, though, try to figure out your thinking that talked you into smoking that first cigarette and make a plan NOW what you can do when the same stinkin' thinkin' happens during your NEXT quit.  You could have taken slow/deep breaths, blogged "HELP" here, gone for a walk, taken a bath or shower, ANYTHING    but light a cigarette.

Do some more reading, prepare again, and set a new quit date.  Don't put if off!  You really don't know which cigarette might start that sickness chain reaction.

The time to do this is NOW!

I lost so many quits for so many reasons that I cannot possibly count them all, I beat myself up every time and it never did any good.  When I finally did quit over 5 1/2 years ago, it was pretty much out of my hands since I was so sick that I was struggling to take every breath.  This time, I was able to come to an understanding of my addiction and of why it was so hard for me.  I could not take things one day at a time, I had to take things one FEELING at a time because I smoked to stuff down uncomfortable feelings...what a difference it makes to DEAL with them.

You can do this and you are not alone.  I am sorry that you don't feel supported in your real life.

Like everyone has said, it does no good berating yourself. No regrets about the past--keep moving forward.  Most of us have tried to quit numerous times.   You're no different than the rest of us.  It's hard, but now you know you can do it.  Don't wait--get right back on track.  Next time reach out BEFORE you smoke.  That's what we're here for.

You can do this, I know the defeated feelings you speak of as I have been there done that...not this time...you are strong so jump up, brush yourself off and make tomorrow your day won...you have so much support here, don’t give up

[maryfreecig]

Yes you can do this. Because you are addicted, when others egg you on (simply don't understand) it can be stressful. What can you do differently to get past those around you who are still smoking?
