Mstngmama,
You've experienced a relapse, now is the time to learn from it and keep going. If your quit plan wasn't always effective in helping you fight cravings, it is now time to review your plan, identify problem areas and modify what wasn't working.
Were you rewarding yourself frequently? It is important to have something to look forward to and work towards to keep ourselves from feeling deprived. What motivates you through those cravings?
What have you replaced smoking with? Ex: You use to smoke with your cup of coffee, now you read the paper instead.
What other coping mechanisms are you using to help you fight cravings? Gum, walking, posting, mints, deep breathing, water?
Keep strong! You can do this!
