Been there, done that. It is not unusual to relapse. Please, don't go out and buy anymore cigs. Just brush your shoulders off and try again. This is a great website for support and good luck.

I'm day 50 today, I have been trying to quit for years...This is the one... For me it was my mind set that made it "for real" this time. The reality of lung Cancer is setting in as I cough all the time. I want to live to see my great-grand babies (and I'm only 30 right now) That craving taht got hte best of you today, when I got those I said "F-you" to the cigs. I'm tired of losing to those damn things!! I'm winning this time, I'm the one who choses to light up when I do. I'm the one who choses buy a pack when I do, I'm the one who gives in and smokes when I do. The cig is not forcing itself into my mouth... but seriouly...I would talk in my head and sometimes out loud to the cigs. I would say "F-you,you aren't winning" I would get competitive, I worked my butt off for this quit!! I'm sticking to it. I don't want smoke in my lungs again. I don't want the smell in my car anymore. I don't want anything that has to do with smoking anymore... I Don't and I mean that more then I have ever meant that before. I'm going to win this battle and so can you. Don't like that cancerstick win! You can do this!!!! We can all do this!!!!

I've tried to quit once or twice but always caved in. I'm going for my third attempt now, hopefully third time lucky.
It's real hard but if you want to do it you will.

Amen to csp!
I used to cave when I quit and then I'd smoke for another 2 or 3 years and try again, cave again, etc. This time, I gave in for 2 packs on my 90th day ... but then I got angry at the cigarettes instead of me. I just said, "No. I will NOT smoke. I am NOT a victim." Plus it really ticks me off to give all that tax money to a state that does nothing to help people quit smoking.
Quit again. You can do it. I will help.

All of us will have stress of some kind through out our lives. You have to find something else besides smoking to relieve it. Take a nap, have a V-8, phone a friend, there are many ways.

I have tried to quit smoking numerous times in the past and have always failed after 3 or 4 days. I Believe the reason I caved i was because I saw myself as a smoker, even after i quit, i.e. you might say to someone 'Oh, I'm trying to quit smoking...Yeah, It's really hard...' And eventually you decide that the addiction is too much and you cave in.

Currently, I am on day 14 of my quit and the reason I am succeeding is that I am not dragging attention to the fact that I have a quit. Try not to speak about it. It only makes you want one. Just act as if you are not trying to quit smoking, but like you are a non-smoker.

I found that it was best to be as reclusive as possible in the first few days. After that it gets easier.

I'm going cold turkey also. I'm doing pretty good considering when someone is smoking I dont want one. I only want one when I am drinking, which I feel if I give that up too I'll just die. I just cant handle being tired eight hours a day. I was a very outgoing person.........now I dont even like to talk. So good like , they say it gets better, I'll let you know

Also maybe this will help you want to stop. Take a deep breathe in, if it hurts, time to stop, your body is telling you something. I wasnt a heavy smoker at all, in fact people laughed at me and said are you kidding. One day I took a took a deep breathe last week and it hurt, thats when I listened to my body.So far 7 days
