7 fags is not just a hiccup i would say that you had to go back to day 1 from then, which as you say makes you now on day 6, which has to be said is fantastic.
just remember why you failed last time and make sure that you don't fall back into that trap again.
You have very nearly done a whole week and that is a whole week you will never have to do again.
Personally I think the numbers only matter to other people. Personally it shouldnt matter surely? If you dont smoke again now, then why does it matter what number day it is?
FWIW - if I had just a single puff on a cigarette, even now on day 363, I would go back to day 1.
For me - If I smoke I am not quit.
Simples.
Likewise I've been counting the number of days, weeks, years since I last put a ciggy in my mouth and smoked it.
At the end of the day its your quit so its your choice. What's materially different to me on this quit is that I have made the choice to become a non smoker rather than an occasional smoker, mostly because I've tried that and its always failed for me in the end I landed back at square 1.
My concern about the "blip" situation is for me is that if I allowed myself one I would inevitably allow myself another and another and another. You may well be different, but that's how it would work for me!
the numbers only matter because its supposed to get easier as the days go on
actually it doesn't matter if its 2 weeks or 6 days because the non snouting is killing me
Read and re-educate yourself and it will become easier.
If you regard quitting as a sacrifice its hard, very hard, you just feel deprived. However, if you see it as regaining your freedom and gaining health and wealth its much easier. I.e see it as a positive thing rather than a negative one.
Good luck. Its so worth it in the end and you can get there, if I can we all can!
