after being quit for one wk., i relapsed yesterday, and smoked a pk of cigs.
my girlfriends husband died suddenly, so of course i had to smoke for a day(only kidding). instead of beating myself up about it, i am just not smoking today, one day at a time i guess. so, i guess today is my new quit day.

sharon....how are you doing?

i hope everyone is stronger than i am.......bevann

Don't think of it as a weakness. I had the same thing happen. I was quit for 21 days then went and bought a pack of cigarettes. I smoked one a day for about a week them threw them away because I really wanted to stay quit. So I re-quit. No problem. It really is just one day at a time. If you 'accidentally' smoke one day, you quit again.

It's okay to slip. Just keep going. Do you think that dieters are no longer dieters if they go out to eat and splurge one night? Just pick it back up the next day. You'll be okay!!
