Right, so here I am, back again. I thought I'd better get back to it as soon as possible otherwise it would've been months before I 'got round to it' again.
I smoked myself silly for 4 days, and apart from that first one, I can honestly say I didn't enjoy it, so I've taken that as a good sign. I'm not going back to the stop smoking group at work though cos I'll probably end up slapping that stupid patronising nurse.
I've also got a new tactic! I was given a prescription for the nicotine nasal spray, and I finally went and got it yesterday. I tried it, and It's REALLY good for getting rid of cravings. I had 1 squirt this morning, and got this weird prickly burning sensation around my nose and eyes, sneezed like a proper sneezy thing for 20 minutes, and lost about a gallon of body fluids from my eyes and nose! So, by the time I'd dealt with all of that, I'd COMPLETELY forgotten about having a fag. Genius invention lol.
So, 7 hours in to day 1 and I'm doing just fine. I haven't even thought about having a fag since the nasal spray episode first thing. I really need to get past the 3 weeks, 4 days barrier cos that's 2 quits gone at the same point this year!

It's going really well so far (doesn't it always), and I actually haven't had any cravings. I think last weekend's failure has kind of reinforced my desire to quit, so I'm not looking at it as a bad thing.
Maybe something there will change your mind about caving.....
Remember there is absolutely NO situation that wll be made better by smoking. A bad situation will be just as bad (except you are smoking too) and a good situation will be just as good.....
