Failed - will power?
I failed miserably today...........I didn't have will power. Why did I have it yesterday and not today. I started out terribly. I woke up and had a cig. I kept thinking, ok, I'll only have this one and then not have any for the rest of the day. I knew I goofed up but thought it would have been a slip. No.......after that first one, I wanted another, and another, and I then bargained with myself and said that I would try again tomorrow. I AM A FAILURE AT THIS. Maybe the doctor will help me out with this tomorrow. I MUST QUIT, THERE IS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE, I MUST QUIT OR I WILL CONTINUE KILLING MYSELF BY SMOKING!!!!!! SOMEONE OUT THERE MUST HAVE THE SAME BAD WILL POWER.

I feel the same way! Some days it seems like I really have this thing under control, and then out of the blue I seem to lose it. I am trying to do this cold turkey, but its not going as well now as it did in the first week or so. I let my guard down and thought I could have just one since I had been doing so well, and that was a really bad mistake. At some point we just have to say NO MORE and suffer thru it. Not sure how to do that, but will keep trying over and over again till I get it right. I\'ve gone from 2 1/2 packs a day down to 1-5 cigs a day- good improvement , but no banana! Longest time without has been 40 hrs. Many others here have made it, and we can do it also, just maybe it will take a few trys to get it right! Like learning to ride a bike, it just might take a lot of practice till we get there, but don\'t give up trying!! Best of luck!!!!!!
