You’re doing great. A possibility is to call the Quit Line…they offer free nicotine patches, gum or lozenge, and being a veteran, you maybe able to get more than the 2 week dose? it’s 1800-QUIT-NOW. Good Luck…another idea might to have some healthy snacks around or a straw (cut to the size of a cig.) when you really need one, get the straw and pretend you are smoking….the deep breaths simulate smoking and it actaully helps you relax.

That is actually a good sign…that you didn’t have a second, and that it really made you want to NOT smoke.
Question: Did you and the boyfriend discuss doing this together? Does he not want to quit?
1 cig in 5 days is not that bad! You had one and don’t like it anymore. Keep going!
The fact that you feel disgusting and wanted to throw up is a great sign! You can do it.

You can do it!
What matters is not that you had a momentary lapse, but that you got back on track. :0)
I still believe in you! Step away from the cigs!
