I did the opposite; I told everyone who had a vested interest at work and did a day-by-day thing on my Facebook.

I have spent most of the week with my daughter, which is very rare, although we normally chat every day on MSN, and we decided right now is not the time. In fact I doubt she's going to give up with me, so I'll be going it alone, and I can do that, not just now.
I have, though, cut the amount I smoke in half, but I want to give it up altogether, but I'm not letting anyone know next time... I really hated having to write this...  |
You didn't "fail", you lapsed; you don't fail unless you give up trying.
Same thing happened to me; got on the phone with my brother and the old habit came back; the part which bothered me most was that I didn't realize what I was doing until my throat started burning after having quit for a week! That was in December, during the holidays, as well. Never happened again.
Seriously, the nicotine is the easy part; it's the habit itself which is the insidious part and which requires more effort.
