Failure but not kicking myself for it.

I guess the main point of this blog is to let people know that I failed at my latest attempt to quit, but...........I'm not going to beat myself up about it. I've read all the desparate and depressed blogs about others who have given in to the cravings, and pray that they take a different perspective on thier 'weakness'. Their strength is obvious, they tried, they didn't make it (this time) and they are willing to talk about it and admit it. They are indeed 'strong' people for that!

I take heart in the fact that I can try again, and maybe be successful next time. I am not weak, but just haven't resigned myself to really being ready to do it. I know that when that day arrives, it won't be Welbutrin or Chantix or patches or whatever that influences my decision to quit, it will be because that's what I am truly ready to give myself.

I, like everyone else here, will keep my chin up and keep trying, without hating myself for failures.
