I was the one who made the "[i]Help! I stopped smoking cigarettes 38 days ago. Now I start yearning for a cigarette[/i]" post.

So, I caved in and started smoking cigarettes again on Saturday last week when I was drinking beer. It wasn't happening spontaneously because of the alcohol that made me weak, no I had it planned for a few days.
[b]And you know what? It felt so good and relieving. I'm not even disappointed in myself, just happy that I don't have to fight the urge anymore.[/b]
I'm not gonna smoke every day again though. Only on Saturday when I drink beer. Before you tell me that probably won't work and you'll be smoking every day, I already made it from last week Saturday to yesterday Saturday without a cigarette.
I know, lung cancer and stuff. Seems I'm gonna risk it. I just don't want to stop enough. At least not now. But pretty sure I'll try it again at some point in my life.
Feel free to downvote this because I failed (although it doesn't feel like a failure, more like helping my soul to become happier).

It's still better than smoking daily, but if this works for you then I really recommend eventually moving it from weekly to bi-weekly, then monthly, and so on. Settling doesn't seem to be the right answer. Not trying to take away from you limiting yourself to once a week. But you obviously have willpower to last longer than that without a smoke, too.
