Why am I doing this?

My boyfriend is a non smoker, quit  4 years ago, just threw them in the trash one day and that was the end of it. My kids are on me to quit, my youngest was reduced to tears one time I promised to quit and gave in a few hours later and bought a pack. There is a commercial on the radio where the woman says repeatedly "this is my last pack" and the kids have started making jokes that this is me. 

I'm 37 years old and have already been diagnosed with emphysema and nodules on my lungs. At this point I have been a pack a day smoker for 26 years. It's hard to quit, but I know it is a smelly, disgusting habit that is eventually going to kill me.

This is not my first or most sucessful attempt, I went 12 days before...and then went to a bar, I know better this time I suppose. And if I did 12 days before I can do it again. I know from experience the first few days are the hardest. Everyone says it's a matter of willpower...I really can't be that weak?!?!?!?
