I know it is bad, but I started smoking again (cigarettes). I smoke when I am stressed. I know I need to quit, but it is difficult. I have always been very fit, but now I feel like I need to smoke. It is a terrible habit, I know, but for some reason, I like to do it.

I know it is hard to quit- I was a smoker for 15 years and I have been smoke free for 1 1/2 years (AS OF 11/27/2007 )and I still do struggle but as time pass it gets better.
What helped me continue to be smike free was to do mediatation and deep breating exercises.
Don't beat yourself up because you started again, quitting is hard and it doesn't happen over night.
Good luck
