Thanks for the kind words. I've been unfortunately torturing myself and failing to get past day 1 clean those past few days(wake up, resist for about 8 hours, give in, buy ciggs, smoke for a bit, tear them apart and throw them away, go to bed, repeat). Ain't gonna give up, but it's not pretty.
A shadow not so dark.

It's alright to fall, as long as you keep getting up. Try different approaches, maybe instead of quitting cold turkey start by limiting the amount you smoke a day
and google, google lots and find sources to assist you

That's a matter of duration. Failing it daily is more like harm reduction than recovery, while failing it like... once a month is far more significant. If there's no improvement overtime, then this "attempt" has simply become the new habit.
It is still good that he's trying at all, but failing not even 24 hours later makes this closer to early babystep progress. This however to me expresses a person caught in a habit loop, which as a situation would probably take a jarring shift in his environment to have that capable of shifting with it.

your negative attitude really isn't helpful, he's only just started trying gees.
