Redytoquit,
You're not weak; you're an addict. Addicts do whatever they can to get their fix - until they are truly ready to do whatever they can to stay quit. Hear that? [b]Whatever they can![/b] Are you there? I know right now, you're thinking that you're done... so what will you do when it's been a few days and you've been doing well and you start craving? What are you going to do? Make a plan. No really, MAKE A PLAN!!!! Either you are going to keep doing this to yourself over and over and over and over and over again... or, you are going to make a plan to keep yourself from doing this... and then stick to your plan! That's the most important thing. Trust me, I know where you're coming from. I've been there too many times! And I was finally able to stick my quit when I made a plan for what I would do when I wanted to smoke and am here some 460+ days without a smoke... and so can you. So, tell yourself, I will NOT smoke until I... and then put a few things in there like post here, email/IM a quit buddy, call a friend who supports your quit, read your reasons for quitting, etc... or better yet, print off your post on this thread where you said:

im so tired of everything about a ciggerette, and im sick of the taste, and the smell, and the coughing, and the inconvience, and the time it makes me waste, and energy it takes. etc. ect.ect. im re- pledging that from now on im through with smoking. it really is a nasty, nasty habit.

Read that when you're wanting to cave. Because times when you WANT to cave WILL happen... it's what you do in those times that matters... those times matter more than right now. Right now, you're ready to quit and want to stay quit... but it's those times when you're not so sure about yourself that really matter. What will you do then? Only you can decide.
Crave the Quit!
