    If I make it through to friday ok which hopefully I should I'll be rather proud of myself. Sad, but proud ;)

    Everybody here will also be proud of you as well :T which makes us sad, not you ;)

    's not fair, the sun's shining here and I want to be outside playing in the sun! I wonder if I phoned my boss would he let me work outside for the day, like we used to do in school on nice days!

    Just a blip, shoppy. Don't dwell on it. Don't think of yourself as a failure. Don't feel bad.

    Put it out of your mind and gain some more determination from it.

    You WILL beat this.....

    Don't beat yourself up too much shopaholic .. yes you may have had one but you say yourself it tasted awful etc... sometimes it takes a little relapse like that to further commit!

    Keep at it :beer:

    You're not useless, you're trying to beat an addiction that's terribly hard to beat and you will beat it. You've slipped, you know you've slipped and you're trying your best not to slip again, that's all you can ask of yourself, as you say don't be beating yourself up over it.

    Redouble your efforts and you'll be smoke free soon enough.
