Judy.....your failure isn't about family stress, your daughter, etc. when you stumbled, where did you get the cigarettes? and after the slip, letting yourself down....why are you waiting almost a week to begin again?.....to me the answers are real simple....you have let your addiction take back the control. You are listening to the junky instead of thinking for yourself. All of your reasoning, is merely making lame excuses to give yourself a "fix". How bad do you want to stop? It has to be worse than you want to smoke. that "want" has to hold through your cravings. That "want" will drive you to make plans of how you will handle the cravings (taking a walk, taking a shower, taking a nap, slugging a pillow, digging a hole in the back yard!) ANYthing but reaching for the smoke.
Get up and get back on the horse NOW....you don't need to WAIT....every smoke you light reinforces the control that the junky has taken. He's sitting back, secure with his fix, laughing at your so called "getting ready".....give yourself the present NOW
