Hi Emoxxkid,
Quitting smoking if challenging and of course sometimes not successful at first. The good thing is that you can try again. So just think what could be wrong, and try again maybe using a different method.
Good luck!
Linda

Geneva,

Please don't be ashamed that you didn't make it. Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things anyone can do. It took me 8 tries and over 20 yrs to do it. So don't be ashamed. You tried and that's what is important......

Like Wendy said, nothing to be ashamed of. I have tried and you know it just does not always work. Smoking one while I type as a matter of fact. Every time I mention trying again my family scatters and look like they are ready to go hide in the hills! It is a nasty addiction to quit.

Also, quitting for me is very hard because well, I don't have very strong urges to smoke, I just turn into satan and everyone around me suffers my wrath (so hubby keeps spares in my van and I know they are there even if I say don't). I am still trying to figure out how exactly to get over that hurdle and stop people from having cigarette stashes around to give me when I am too big a pain in the ass. I find it amazing how many non smokers buy cigarettes asking me to smoke! I do not know one smoker at all except online!
