Hi all, been smoking for 14/15 years. Attempted going cold turkey since monday at 9pm, been doing well, however gave in earlier, bought a pouch of tobacco, and have had a full cigarette. My partner quit with me and now I'm feeling awful for giving in, not just because of the money I spent on it, but the fact that it's in the house and have now given him temptation.
Should I attempt to carry on? or set another quit date? I'm feeling so stupid as i was enjoying my chest feeling 'emptier' if that makes sense? I also think because my mood was awful yesterday and resulted in arguments between me and my other half, that I was better off giving up giving up!
I'm a mother to two young boys and really want to be healthy for them
Has anyone else had a blip but carried on?

I think u shud just carry on. Personally i think if its set up like The Big Quit Date n u NEVER gona smoke again it makes ppl feel like a failure 4 slip ups but slip ups is normal. I think u done well cos even tho u got that baccy in the house u only had the 1. That shows strength.
This is just me but i fairly often have a cigarette or 2 or 3 at the weekend. But i stop after that. Its about control. An yes u mite of smoked 1 u didnt mean 2 but u been in control ever since. If u slip up again, its ok cos u on the right track. U mite even wanna plan how i gona use that tobacco then whatever way ur in control
