I was depressed all day from illness, and so, smoked, not one, but a whole pack.Some I smoked one right after the other as is my customary chain smoking way.
I feel like a failure, especially since I took Chantrix as directed.
I think I need a lobotomy to quit. Any helpful advice?????

I'm with Chris. You're not a failure. Dust yourself off, give yourself a hug, and try again. Quitting is like everything else in life - it doesn't always go perfectly. Keep trying, it will happen.

Ahhh so what if you had a smoke. Don't have another one. Sheesh you are being too hard on yourself. It's like being on a diet and you have 1 donut. It doesn't mean you should quit trying altogether. No lobotomy - no quick fix unfortunately. Just take a deep breath and try again. You can do this.
