fear of failure

21 May 2006
I am currently in my second month of quitting, I still find it difficult, some days I feel really fed up, but I know if I have just one cigarette I can goung to be really upset and fed up, the thought of smoking again and having to deal with the failure of not having quit, keeps me on track with my hardest moments, I think after 6 weeks part of the problem, is that I feel I should be over the desire to have a cigarette, and its a constant battle when it happens each day at sometime, the pharmacy helped when the pharmacist told me that with the nicotine patches most people don't get to stage 2 with the patches as they have already started smoking again. His comments made me feel better. often all the things you read can make you believe that the struggle should be over after 2 weeks, but I am determined this time.
