Jan,
You smoked for many, many years. I remember thinking that on day 3 or 4 I would be fine and over quitting. It took a lot longer than that but each day is progress. You now know that the cigarette didn't make you feel better. It didn't help anything. It probably just made you feel worse. Something I found in my quit is that I had to fight for it. Resisting temptation isn't easy. I kept telling myself that everday is one day closer to never feeling this way again.
Older quitters told me that it would get better and I just had to trust that they were telling me the truth. It was a long rocky road to get here but it really does get better. Keep marching forward and you will get there. Don't let your slip be your downfall. Pick up, get rid of all smokes, ashtrays, lighters, matches... all of it! And get back to taking your life back from this horrible addiction that controls you.
