Thankx for your response. I don't feel bad at all smoking just one a day... it's just the "finality" of it right now that makes it difficult i think.... never having something again type of thing. And bumming them off of people is a good idea. That's what I did.... but then I had a day off at home by myself.. today, that's when I went and bought a pack and pretty much smoked it all.
Thanks for the encouragement tho.... a big part of me is just like "okay, you can't do this ... don't stress.... just smoke and don't feel guilty about it".... but your right... maybe for me it's just going to be a "process with hopefully the end result being a non smoker. Congrats for you,.. I would have never imagined this being so difficult!!!! But your right... it's too soon in the game to give up. Thankx


> > Hi kiddo,
> > I only had one..... one the next day, one the next day, now this morning I bought a pack. I also felt tremendous guilt and bought a pack of that nicorette you spoke of and am planning on trying again tomarrow. Damn... I wish their was a way my mind could stop this whole craving thing......... I put myself thru hell one day, smoke the next, feel guilty, smoke, quit..... go thru hell again, smoke again, feel guilty, quit.............ergggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.

> Kristi - Believe it or not this is the way I quit. It took me months and months of this kind of thing - in fact I broke down every single day. But I have been a true ex smoker now for a couple of years. Don't think that your smoking now is a failure to quit. Think of it as succeeding at Stage One. I found a few things helpful. One was to switch brands to something similar but not identical to what I usually smoked. Another was to avoid buying packs for myself. I would bum cigarettes and buy the packs for the people I bummed from. Not to hold for me but as a gift. Good luck. - Jane
