Ah tryinghard, you have had a fall, get rid of the cigarettes IMMEDIATELY, it is not too late and the nicodemon will not have taken over yet.   What you decide to do within the next few hours / day is VITAL!  

You are NOT a failure, you just have not succeeded this time, as the saying goes, "If at first you don't succeed, try and try again"    Its your choice, you can do it, have the faith and believe, you know what you have to do....wishing you strength

Hey don't worry. We have all been there before. I think that everyone of us has had  failed quits in the past. You will quit again and the things you have learned from this attempt will make you stronger

As Fordy says, it's a learning process. Forgive yourself and get back into it as soon as you can. We'll all try to help.

You are NOT a failure.   You are trying very hard and this is not failure.  This is what it takes to succeed.    It is hard, really bloody hard but you keep on trying.   I had a massive relapse all over Christmas and right up until 2 weeks ago.  So, you see, you are not alone.  You are a fighter!   Pick yourself up and carry on because you can.

Thanks for your post, & honesty, failure is sone one who's not trying, so in my book your not a failure your a success, as all the others say, just pick  your self up and back on the wagon, so to speak, indeed we. Sometimes just have keep trying until we have the lightbulb moment, it will come.

I,m looking forward to your updates, your doing this for you,  if that means being a tad selfish, wanting to cry, having a moan , then just do what you need to do, to start afresh.

You can do this, bit by bit, little by little, your stronger than you think

Please keep posting and reading

Tryinghard....It is a known fact that the only person who does not fail is the person not doing anything challenging....Thus you did not fail but did not win this very, very difficult challenge...So take time,  get a new date and quit again....I have said it so many times But Mark Twain said: "Quitting is easy I have done it thousands of times''...Even if this is your tenth time quitting there is still 990 times left.... Strongs!!

PS get medical help for depression it is a severe black hole and quitting on top of depression spells disaster...!
