I did..... A small one on January 18. I felt terrible about it, but had deliberately gone into a smoking environment to test my resolve. As one would expect, that was a terrible idea, but my intention was to have a practice run before some friends came to town on the 23rd. I failed, but I did not come back to the site to change my quit meter, because I knew without a doubt that I would rationalize the fact that since I was starting all over again, I would smoke with my friends while they were visiting. In retrospect, that was the best idea for me. They are here, and I am not smoking!!!! I explained to them what was going on and they have been very supportive.
So, I was glad to see Josie's post about there being no reason to take a backward step. I will keep going forward, and chalk the incident up as a learning experience that strengthened my will power.
PS: Smokers really do smell bad, and cigarettes taste awfull. Whatever posessed me to indulge in that for 40 years???? :blush:
