I went to an NA meeting and of course everyone was smoking so I ended up smoking twice, I know I shouldn't have done it. I know it's better then using or drinking which I could have done but ya. I don't know I feel like a failure though.

Sorry to hear that. I agree with the idea that it is not the same as the drug of choice. If you did not buy any of your own, that would be a good thing. I am finding it helpful to remember that I can avoid having to go through a 3-day cycle by not "giving in once" (which almost always equals more than once). That way I just pile on the days instead, and I get further away from the natural threshold to have strong cravings. I might even have to create a thread of my own (unless they don't want one) so I can ramble daily about my own progress.
