Well I was going to put a Stop Smoking Support post – but hey – this is already here :D

OK.. I am in the planning-to-give-up stage :roll: – yeah I know.. this part lasts years :oops: :lol:

I’ve tried before …. gonna try again VERY SOON…. :?

So all you successful quitters out there …. HELPPPPP :shock:

(oh.. and I apologise in advance for any nicotine-deprived post rage) :twisted:

Poshy…good luck. Just keep planning….just think about it and aim for a possible date that may be stress free. Select the replacement such as patches inhalator, chewing gum or zyban. Maybe even join a smoking cessation group. The planning is important and the preparation beforehand is supposed to help. Not sure, just each person finds their own way and some can even stop cold turkey….they are sooo brave.

I tried to stop before but always felt deprived and fed up and in a mood…lol…nowt changes.

However this time I just tried to be positive and proud that I had chosen to stop. I still had cigarettes which I could choose to smoke if I wanted, the choice was mine, I was not depriving myself. Psychology of this seemed to change my attitutude..choice not deprivation…pmsl. The first week was hell btw…

There is life without nicotine..although not quite there because I seem to be addicted to nicotine chewing gum!!!! And…there are times when I could just grab a lit ciggy out of someones hand and smoke it.

Anyways hope all goes well and good luck. Just enjoy those ciggies whilst you are thinking about stopping lol.

Cut the crap Wilma…. she just has to throw the fags in the bin and stop. None of this inhaler, chewingy, zbyery stuff needed…..
Be brave be focused and be strong.

Just like me…….. :- :- :-

Sos poshy…… :oops: im trying to stop as well with little succes lol.

take all the drugs and replacement you can get without OD’ ing :lol: :lol:

It’s hard, I gave up on my second attempt, strayed once or twice whilst giving up but the next day went straight back to patches (I used patches and lozenges). I stayed on the lozenges for longer than recommend, but it worked. Been two years in April for me :lol: First 6 months you feel like sh.yte but is definately worth it. Yes, there are still times when I want one, but I know I will never ever smoke again and that makes me feel quite good.

Good luck to anyone giving up xxx

good luck with it Poshy my feline friend and well done to Wilma still. As we chattered about ive had “Allen Carr’s Easy Way for Women to stop Smoking book” for quite a few months now.. its been used as a mouse mat, propped my desk up and was sat on my shelf.

I was contemplating trying to give up next week as the time seemed right with no hassle, worries or stress but ive decided id best wait a bit longer till i get some willpower and self-believe back so the book is back on the shelf together with the pack of patches I had bought!

I know i have to stop smoking – my three year nephew tells me off all the time!! and I know that I will but errr.. just not this month (maybe next!)
