What a horrible weekend! went to bed fri night with my book. One of the characters lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply! Well that was it. Ive thought of nothing else all flippin weekend I really really wanted to light a cigarette and inhale deeply..... Ive been snappy, grump, weepy, looking round as though ive lost something, been back to bed, got up again, now im on here. I feel as bad if not worse than the first week of my quit. after I finally got to sleep, As soon as I woke up I was thinking about lighting up. Its been hard not to give in today!

It just goes to show how something can trigger a crave off. Its mad really because my husband still smokes and I deal with that ok, but a line in a book almost broke me.........but still not had one!

Thanks everyone!! and yes your all right in what you are telling me, and I sooo dont want to throw the towel in,. It just shocked me, the way it came from no where THE BUGGER!! and so powerful. I have been plodding along taking it day by day feeling quite chuffed with myself, and then POW! just shows we cant get complacent. I am going to take the dogs out for a brisk walk, a long one.then go to bed with a different book lol Thanks Team for putting me back on track.

Hi all just reporting in after my bad weekend, I have just had a quick look on the forum and see that Im not the only one. I was very close to caving in myself.

While I was out on my brisk walk with my dogs I passed a lady who looked oldish but on second glance Id say early fifties, she kept stopping to get her breath, and was coughing her guts up. That is exactly why I quit! I have smoked for over 40 years, and yes a lot of damage is already done! but I am fit and agile for my age, and I'L be buggered if Im going to end up like that without a good fight.

Why should it be easy to Quit after being an addict for 40 years? why should I think I would be ok after a few weeks? This is going to be a long job. I dont really want to live to be a hundred, but neither do I want to live the next twenty years or so (If im lucky) like that lady I saw fighting for every breath.

So Im here for the long haul, and I know I can rely on You lovely people to help me on my journey
