MaryEllen,
Don't be so hard on yourself.
You've experienced a slip, now is the time to learn from it and keep going. If your quit plan isn't always effective in helping you fight cravings, it's time to review your plan, identify problem areas and modify what isn't working.
You can always post it on the forums, in our feedback or webmail and we will be more than happy to help to give you some feedback.
Are you rewarding yourself frequently? If you have nothing to look forward to, nothing worth more than smoking than what do you have to work towards? What motivates you through those cravings?
What have you replaced smoking with? Ex: You use to smoke with your cup of coffee, now you read the paper instead.
What other coping mechanisms are you using to help you fight cravings? Gum, walking, posting, mints, deep breathing, water?
Keep strong! You can do this! You have 5 days under your belt!
Danielle
