So I need to confess. Feel I need to post to make myself accountable and to help with dealing with this. I was 2months 2 weeks tonight in. Gave up with champix, stopped tablets in first 2 weeks and felt unstoppable. I ve been nothing but a rock that time and thoughts of smoking were over within that 2 weeks and felt like being a smoker was years ago. Havent had the cravings the whole time. Tonight with a few friends. Something, not a crave got the better of me and I had 3 cigarettes. I cant believe it, so disappointed. Felt more social and an interest more than anything. They ve been out of my head and life without problems for such a long time for me. Being around smokers, drinking has never been a problem. Why the hell did I do it. Friend gave me a pack of cigs, I ve come home, realised 'what the hell!' run the other 17 under the tap and put the broken soggy butts out with the morning rubbish. God what a class A idiot!!!
Confession time....:(: So I need to confess... - No Smoking Day

It's a difficult thing for friends when one changes habits. They can feel quite threatened that somehow everything has completely changed with the person stopping the habit. And of course if that habit is something like smoking then they could even feel left behind and stuck smoking.
You done good running the rest of the smokes under the water and shoving the temptation well out of reach.
Sadly 2 months and 2 weeks isn't a robust quit...even if it's champix which alters the need to smoke. In all quit methods 2 1/2 months is only the starter to get from one place to the other breaking a physical habit. There's the next issue of dealing with the psychology of why you smoke...and more to the point why you don't anymore. It's really the reason why a lot of us 'oldies' bang on about reading and educating yourself into a successful quit.
That aside, brush yourself down, think on the experience and what you've learned from actually doing it. And move on...to preferably continue not smoking 
I have to ask what sort of friends they are?
If they knew you were on a quit, which I presume they did as they are friends, they shouldn't have offered you any to start with and certainly shouldn't have given you a packet to take home.
Had you been my friend I would have refused and suggested that if you really want to smoke then go and buy your own.
That may have made you think twice.
Not to worry, you can start again and, next time you are tempted, think back to how you feel right now.
Good luck, you'll get there in the end
The only way I can look at this as a few others have pointed out is why would your friends not be supportive rather than enabling you to smoke and to be put you in that environment but on the other hand you have to hold yourself accountable for your actions.
Perhaps you need to educate yourself a little further on your addiction to nicotine and certain triggers in particular it seems alcholo has been your downfall this time.
Either way brush yourself off, it sounds as if you have realised the error of your ways. Jump back on the wagon and learn from your mistake.
Good luck with your quit.

gee who needs friends like that.............
jump back on :rolleyes: you CAN do this as you've all ready proved........
Dont really think its my friends fault. I was the one who said yes and made the choice to smoke those cigarettes, noone forced me. I have to take the blame. Its done and dusted with and chalked up as one of silly things you do after a bottle of wine. Lessons learned. As far I am concerned it was a bump on the road I would never go back to being a smoker again.
Well done Lucy. Don't make a habit of it, though!
