I should confess, I started smoking again when I get depressed!!! 🥴 sigh... life...
Now, I am a nicotine addict too and started smoking in my teens.
This year I made an effort to stop and did so in mid January. Yeah, I messed up a few times but not too bad and haven't had a smoke since March. Took the lozenges for a few months and stopped those last month.
The thing is, due to stress, and unknown to me, my daughter started smoking a year ago. Surprisingly, I was not tempted to sneak a smoke or two with her and totally refrained.
I understand about depression, and found that smoking provided a certain measure of comfort. I certainly enjoyed it anyway.
Years ago, I gave up alcohol. Now, I would still enjoy having a drink but I chose not to do so. I would still love to have a smoke but chose not to do so. Today.
Don't beat yourself up about this. The struggle is real.
