It's a process - not an event. Pick yourself up - watch out for that trap next time, and carry on with the process.
I went through lots of different phases before I found the right combination of magic spells to make it stick.
Yes, I think I saw it the same way - a process rather than an event. Took me a while to get there. It's been over 10 yrs now.
I had some bizzare attempts. I remember one such occasion where I ceremoniously chucked all my fags in a public litter bin, walked about a mile to the pub, got pretty spannered, vaunted all night how virtuous I was to have finally packed up, walked home, walked up to the litter bin, rummaged through the junk, found my fags, went home and smoked them! Just crazy.
I am a firm believer that regardless of how you get help - patchs, support groups, pills, hypnosis or whatever - at the end of the day you really have to want to pack up at a deep level in your mind to succeed. At least that's what I found. You really have to get to the point where you know the game's up. The party's over. And it has to be genuine. Unfortunately finding that place of finality in your mentality can be a bit allusive sometimes.
All the best.
