so dissappointed in myself

This really blows. I was on vacation from work for 2 weeks and the first week started off good by just staying home working on my car and didnt smoke for 5 days straight. I was actually VERY PROUD of myself and thought i quit until the 2nd week just partied/hung out with my friends that drink alot of beer. I ended up stoging 2-3 cigarettes a day while drinking/hanging out with them and yesterday i bought a pack of my own and im back to my regular smoker self. I'm so pissed and need to QUIT this bad habit again. Guys this is letting me down so bad. UGH!My plan tomorrow is to throw my leftovers i got in the box and just stay home until i go back to work which is monday but i have plans with some friends in the weekend. I tend to smoke alot at work the most. Any ideas? I just want to go COLD TURKEY and none of that gum chewing or medicines.

Put it behind you. It's water under the bridge - don't look back. Start fresh, change your daily routine as much as possible, don't even think about smoking. Stay away from alcohol for at least 1 month - it takes down your inhibitions too much. Do this and you will be nicotine free. The time's going to go by anyway, you might as well make sure your healthy while it does. You don't want Labor Day and then Halloween to roll around and you're still a nicodine addict. Get angry !

Thread bump! Did you end up quitting again? I quit three days ago. i go back to work tomorrow. That's gonna be the tough part, dealing with stress at work while not smoking for the first time in years.

quit, it looks rediculous when some one has something that is on fire hanging out of their mouth. it is disgusting.

if you really want to quit, don't wait until the next day to throw out your cigs. do it now

I smoke a pack a day of Newports and I quit cold turkey for a week, not smoking a single cigarette. Unfortunately the car business makes it very hard to quit seeing how stress and boredom are my triggers. My girl's sister quit using one of those medicines and her only side effect was being a bitch for a few days. I think in order to quit cold turkey you positively have to want to quit. If you know drinking or any other trigger makes you want a cigarette simply stay away from whatever it is. Will power....

When drinking the urge to smoke is strong, I would just try to replace one thing with another,

cigarette replacement=pretzles
