I fell of the wagon for the weekend but I am now climbing back on

I have no excuse really, I had quit smoking a little over 2 weeks ago. The craving was still quite strong though and on Saturday after an extremely stressful evening I bought a pack of cigarrettes. I was going to wait until I finished the pack, I am still only halfway through the pack, but I have decided that every cigarrette I smoke is another slip along the slippery slope. So I have put my patches back on. (when I started smoking again I stopped with the patches because I figuredc that that high a dose of nicotine would make the quitting just that much harder)I am still wanting to quit, but the habit is strong and after almost 25 years of smoking (since age 9) it is a much harder to break habit than I ever thought possible. I have heard it said though that it is easier to quit a crack habit than to cease a smoking addiction. I don't know about all that but it is definitely tough. I don't think that I gave the task enough respect. I entered into my quit with a more than healthy amount of fear, and plenty of desire, but once your body realizes that it's quits for the smokes, the brain just goes haywire with making the demands. Anyeay just struggling with day 1 again. Pray for me if you are a believer, and hope for me if you are not. Thank you in advance for the prayers and the positive energy that they generate.
