Grandma,
Don't be too hard on yourself. All you can do is learn from the past and apply it towards today.
Be proud of your three weeks!

Keep on trucking Grandma. Stock up on good pain killers for that extraction, I'm just getting over one....yes it will be nice to be done with the dentist! :)

Grandma - you absolutely deserve to celebrate! You've reached the 3 week mark and no matter if you messed up before - this time is what counts. Know that you can go the distance and also know what messed you up so you won't repeat it! Also, REWARD yourself! :)

It IS a big deal, grandma & you should be proud for giving it another go. You have the benefit of the experience of those 17 months & no one can take that away. You just make sure you bring what you learned to this quit & make it the last one!
A root canal??? That is no kind of reward at all! you need a reward for getting through that!

Big deal and I could have17 months but anyway just concentrating on this quit. I bought my toy poodle a cowgirl dress for a reward. Yesterday had a root canal. Not much of a reward but on the way to healthy teeth. Next week an extraction and root planing. Soon I'm going to have pretty white teeth if I have to drink my coffee with a straw. Not too many craves, maybe because I had such a short slip but I.m not gonna do that again.
