hey, just don't beat yourself up ok? There's people quit a hell of a lot longer still get caught out. And that's all it was, you let your guard down for a moment, that's all.
Chin up, try to keep positive, you haven't lost anything - you are still a non-smoker, and I'm still proud of you

You had one drag on a fag you havenit even smoked a quareter of a fag and have no need to go back to day one
50 days Geoff in no way is that a fail hun just you carry one many got further than you and smoked for a few days and still carried on as if nothing had happened
No i wouldn't reset the counter either at this stage. Of course it was a stupid thing to do, but you realise this entirely and so long as you promise not to be a baaaad lad again, no reason why recovery and success could not follow in the wake of this?
See how you feel in a week but for now, no beating oneself up ok?
I wouldn't go back to day 1 either, you haven't failed, you had a drag of a fag that you didn't enjoy that's left you self loathing. Well forget it. Move forward, learn from it so you don't find yourself in the same position again.
Pick yourself up where you left off, and have a nice weekend.
I'll slip in here and add that you only had a blip, Geoff. Fair enough you are annoyed with yourself but you haven't sold your quit. Get posting way up higher on the boards...okay? :cool:
No failure here; don't even start to look at it like a failure. Twas a mere drag; as noted above a "blip". I've also had one just after my first month. I've not noted it as a failure nor have I started at day 1 (although I did think of it to start of with).
For me it was an integral and most important moment of my quit. When you stop something it doesn't mean that your head, body or emotions feel the same way. There are items which still play over and over in the background.
My blip (I didn't want one, it just sorta happened) was the turning point which made me understand I didn't want, need nor like smoking any more. Just lighting up told me that...that has so far been the end of wants and cravings.
You never know, may just be the same for you.
Chin up ... we'll be seeing you back around day 50 then
you havnt failed at all it was a blip thats all // you have done great how many kick up the backsides do you need get back up feel proud of your quit xx
i agree with every one else. Just give urself a tap on the wrists and move on. You're doing fantastically and have done so well regardless of that one drag.
stav yes you will see me back at ending day 50 now so im back to quit attempt 9
i didnt enjoy the puff even though it was the brand that got me hooked when i started when i was 13 so my body etc hates the taste now which is a good sign as my mind will focus more on saying, ewww ive tried it and its awaful so i definatly dont need 1
If you know you are in for a shite day , you could prepare yourself by wearing a laccie band round your wrist and twanging if necessary - I did it in Jan and it helped remind me to stay strong
usaully when i go nuts i lob a cork around my room 4 a bit but today i lost it and i still cant find it but im chilling to a bit of tech n9ne
