Ben..
There have been many discussions involving the quit meter on this site. I don't want to discourage you so I will simply give you my opinion in very simple terms.
If you are quit, you do not smoke; if you smoke, you are not quit.
Take what you want and leave the rest. This is just my opinion. We all quit the same way. N.O.P.E. Not One Puff Ever. Is it hard. Yep. You bet it is. Can it be done? Look at all those around here doing it. You decide.

Ben,
The problem I see with this situation is not that you smoked necessarily... it's that you said "I treated myself to a few mini cigars this weekend." Since when is nasty, stinky, disgusting tobacco wrapped in paper that can KILL you a "treat?" As long as you view quitting as giving up something and not choosing to better your life, then you will probably continue to "treat" yourself more often. I really don't want to see you do that.
The meter is up to you. I personally found that when I didn't reset my meter, I gave myself an excuse to slip again. It was only when I reset that I have managed to stay smoke free. However, the choice is yours. However, I don't think the meter should be the greatest of your worries. I think you need to concentrate more on your attitude towards the quit and what you will do in the future to prevent it than whether you will reset the meter or not. Do some soul searching and truly figure out if you want this quit or not. And if you do, then fight for it with everything you've got! If you choose to quit, then you choose life... and THAT is the treat!!!!
Crave the Quit!

Ben, it doesn't sound to me like you've quit yet. You've merely paused between nicotine rewards.
[i]"I treated myself to a few mini cigars this weekend."[/i] TREATED yourself!?!?
[i]"...past quit attempts slips have always been down to the nice relaxing smoke at the end of the day..."[/i] NICE RELAXING SMOKE!?!?!
You had to smoke this weekend because of stress from things that have happened over the last 2 YEARS!?!?
OK, this is one of the biggest clumps of BS junkie thinking I've seen. You just justify and rationalize, then turn to us for our thoughts. IMO, this isn't a slip, it's a wimpy excuse for not standing up to the junkie inside you.
What you do with your meter doesn't matter. The meter is moot. What does matter is that you either smoke or you don't. So far you smoke with just an extended time between them.
Next time you feel "strained", try something like exercise or distraction, or even eating. Whatever it takes to not smoke.
