I went online and looked for forums and found this. How am I ever supossed to change if I gave in after 7 weeks? I'm such a failure. I feel like I'll never change.
1) you had significant success.
2) you slipped
3) you stopped again.
4) you recognised your behaviour.
5) you sought help.

Man, I'm new to this business and I see all these posts with people who are doing quite well and beating themselves up.

I'm not making light of your slip. Me, I've yet to make seven weeks. It's people like you how have things to teach me.

Tell me, how did you do seven weeks? That's fantastic. I hope (in a few weeks) I'll be saying seven weeks. And I'll have learned from this post of yours, and perhaps I'll make eight, and nine.... as you will too, I'd say.
