Ok so I've had a few puffs of a cig over the weekend !!! Not brought any but have had a few drags of other peoples I'm so disappointed in myself I would say I have smoked in total 3
I've let the team down: Ok so I've had a few... - Quit Support
I've let the team down
Hiya Oxo, please don't beat yourself up about it, we are only human after all
Best thing is put it behind you and move forward
You can do it x
Hi oxo, don't worry, I did the same at the start of my quit. Old habits die hard!!
It made me realise how hard it is to stop and not to be complacent.
Just pick yourself up and dust yourself down and try and learn from the slip up.
I think it helped me by thinking I can't keep having these sneaky cigs if I want to quit as it rekindles the addiction and you end up going through the painful first few days again.
Good luck and stay strong

Sam, you havnt let anybody down but yourself But on saying that, please dont beat yourself up over it eh just think of it as a practice run to the real thing
try to think WHY !! WHAT made you take that first puff then try to think of a way you can counteract it, if it happens again
Hey oxopinkyblue, it was just a trial run, so now prepare yourself for the main event You can do it and we are all here for ya
Hi Oxo, As others have said, don't beat yourself up about it. You can't turn back time, so focus on the future. Reflect back on what was going on when you felt you needed a puff so that you can look for strategies for managing the same situations
Look at it as a practice run for the real thing . Not sure if you are using any NRT- If not, maybe this will help you get through the early days
Try reading Alan Carr's Easy way to quit smoking book as i does put things into prospective, just do a google search as it is available as a pdf free download
Move forward from here ..Good Luck
Good morning Lin, I hope you had a lovely weekend gal
Hiya Monky, I have had a great weekend thanks am not far from heading out the door to work. Will be a tough day considering i have been off since the 18th of Dec.
Thanks everyone it's so hard when every single person I know smokes no excuse I know :/ so have invested in a e cig to help me through xx
Hiya oxo
Like others have said don't beat yourself up about it
Just don't quit quitting, hoping the e cig does the trick for you, if not try something else
As mister monky said we are all in different circumstances and what works for one might not work for another, just keep trying till you find out. Glolin mentioned Allen Carr, and reading that really helped me
You have to bear with it as it doesn't flow well and can be a bit condescending at times but it did the trick for me
Look forward to hearing how you get on

Hi Oxo. Do not beat yourself up about it. Like there say we are only human When people give you a cig do not take it off them as you know you will smoke it. Just try again you can do it. I know you can. We are all here to help you ok. Keep your chin x

Wayyy Hayyy Sam thats flippin great news gal
If it helps to avoid smokers then do that sam, well, until you get stronger eh
Your getting there gal and am sooooo pleased for you
Hi Sam yes I know you can do. We are all here for you xx
You can't undo it, so if possible learn from it, what were the triggers? Can you avoid them in furture or have an emergency plan.
Don't beat yourself up you most certainly don't need the added stress
