It's not a failure; it will probably take quite a few quittings over quite a long period of time to change. Nothing - good, bad, or indifferent - gets done once and for all in one try? To get corny about the cliches, "Rome wasn't built in a day." You learned how difficult it is going to be and what problems you'll have, etc. It was a learning experience :-) Congratulations on the 9 days!
