The little things that piss you off

[theruiner]

man.... it's my birthday, I was hanging out with some friends, and I screwed up and had a cigarette. I got almost nothing from it, I don't know why I did it... but now I feel a bit guilty. I'm trying to rationalize it as "it was my birthday, I'm allowed to fuck up a bit today on my resolutions," but I'm still disappointed in myself. I guess I'd rather celebrate getting older by sticking to my guns and acting like a proper adult who can resist temptation.

Oh well, I can still write it off as an anomaly.

It sucks that you're feeling bad (especially on your birthday), but think of it this way- that might not be such a bad thing. It means you're really serious about quitting. It's not like you had one and were like, well, screw it, what's the big deal? You realized it was a mistake and you're determined not to let it happen again. It shows resolve.

So...yeah. Like Marodi said, you're human, dude. Don't beat yourself up over it.

And happy birthday!
