Hi there--it's been awhile but I'm still around. I've been almost smoke free for about 6 weeks now--I've only had 2 smokes this whole time. I know, it's 2 too many but I'm not going to beat myself up. I'm proud of what I have accomplished so far--and to be quite honest, it really didn't taste as good as I wanted it too. We are all human and each day is a struggle. I can only try my best.

Good Luck...

You have done great. Your have every right to be very proud of yourself. I am proud of you
Have you rewarded yourself for your 6 week accomplishment? Frequent rewards are very important in a quit, especially during the early stages. Those two cigs you had? Those were rewards, although not the best you could have opted for.
Your last sentence reminds me of something a quitter on another board would say:
"Die or quit,
quit or die.
There is only DO,
there is no TRY."
Keep up the good quit, Lentil.
Peace and blessings to you.
