They key is to know you will have a slip up here and there and not beat yourself up over it.
If you break down and smoke a cig or two, just think about it for a minute and move on. Don't beat yourself up or tell yourself it's impossible.
Smoking is very hard to quit because there are virtually no immediate consequences for starting back up again. The nicotine isn't that powerful of a drug, it's just there is really no downside for starting back up and your brain knows it. If you are trying to quit crack or something, usually after a few attempts you think of all the horrible failures, the money you stole, the family you lost, the friends you lost, the arrests, and you quit. Smoking has none of that. Just get over the mental part of it and the drugs hold only lasts about a week.
Quitting smoking is 99% mental, the nicotine is very weak in relation to other drugs.
