I was doing ok till sunday, but for some reason madness took over me and I went to the shop and bought a packet of cigerettes and have not stopped since. I am really disappointed with myself and have have been telling myself since: this is the last one I will smoke. What should I do?

Hello DP

Sorry to hear you have gone back to the fags, what you need to do is set a new day to stop, get rid of all fags and lighters ect and start again, you have proved you can do it, so reassess where you went wrong, read read read on here and some of the links so you understand the withdrawls,craves and certain expectations.

you can do this-think of your previous attempt as a 'warm up' then get ready to stop again xxxxx

I really feel for you.... bad few days and have been so close as well..... but life will not get better now that you have them back in your life and you know that since you quit in the first place..... fear will get you buying them again. You managed the physical side of the cravings but not the mental side..... what helps me is being on here daily, reading, looking at my reasons, reading Alan Carr, and my hypnosis cd........ I HAD to be prepared this time for the mental aspect... cause it had gotten me every time. Good luck to you and don't beat yourself up..... be prepared next time... it will make all the difference.

Learn from this experience, put it behind you, throw them away and make the decision to not go back there again. When it gets bad you need the knowledge to remind yourself why you don't want to be doing it and the tools to get over each hurdle.
