Back from the big city, falling asleep over the computer, aching all over, feet killing me after standing 8 hours for two days.

Lapsed Thursday night after 30 hours. The nicotine had almost disappeared from my fingers; the cough is much improved already. Yes, I really want to quit. I WILL try again. Perhaps the stress of the last three days didn't help.

I don't have helpful info. But just wanted to encourage y'all - I really love the intent of this thread guys...

I have things now and then that I want to be like, "people, help convince me that this thing is a bad idea."

Those of you pressing against this habit to quit - remember, you're taking on a challenge that the people who have never smoked have never taken on.

Though... thinking about it... I think I know something about giving in to addictive behaviors. These days, when I feel the need to drink a needless cup of coffee or eat choclate that I don't anticipate especially enjoying.. now a little alarm bell goes off in my head that says, 'I feel lonely.' Unfortunately, I still seldom do something constructive to respond to that alarm bell.
