Two is not bad! When I caved in previous attempts I chain smoked for an hour. What made you cave? Stress? Hanging out with smoking friends? It was really hard for me in the first few weeks and has gotten easier as time goes on.

I had one when I was on a business trip a few weeks ago because I was at a bar and some of the people I was working with were smoking. I didn't like it much since I'm on the Chantix too. I wasn't really craving one but I'd read that you don't enjoy them much on the drug so I wanted to see and it turned out to be true for me.

Don't give up completely!

Don't beat yourself up too much. What did you learn from this? If you were like me, you've realized that those 2 smokes you had didn't taste like they used to. And the next time that you want to cave, you might remember that you didn't get anything out of them so what's the point in cheating again. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

ps: don't cheat again

hotdam..you can see from my previous posts that i have caved in also (more than once after 3wks quit). i just quit all over again each time. this time i am on day 9. hubby also bought cigs again and smoked some yesterday with his beer and our company (and they don't even smoke!) he is smoking more this morning with his coffee. we are going away today and visiting at 3 different non-smoking places, also staying overnite in a non-smoking hotel. i'm inerested in seeing if he buys any more today. it does make it alot harder for me if he is smoking.
you will be fine, just brush it off and get back on the ban wagon...good luck, know you can do it! please let us know how you are doing.

Thanks guys I needed this, we had a barbque yesterday for my daughter as she is leaving for the Army next week and of course most of my friends smoke. So that didnt help, I hung in there for a long time before I picked one up. It is so hard to sit around people who are smoking but I have to recondition my brain to think as a non smoker, I can do it,

baby steps.
