Quitting smoking

ok so i am on day two of patches.

anyone who has packed in the demon fags got any tips on getting through it?

i started to give up about 4 months ago, after 27 hours with out a fag i was in need of one, so asked my ex if i could ahve one he said no and i just flew at him! if he hadnt moves my fist would ahve been in his face! lol its funny now but it wasnt then, ohh and nedless to say im still smoking!

im going to quit when the ban comes in on april the 1st!

good luck to you tho!! hope you do it!!!

Will not have smoked for 3 weeks on thursday which doesn't sound like long but is the best i've done for years. I am 8 weeks pregnant so this has helped but i am ashamed to say i smoked all through my last pregnancy!. Am using the 5ml patches which help a lot but nothing takes the craving away when its bad. I've not got any good tips for you but i think you just have to tell yourself your not smoking and thats that. Good luck to you i know its not easy but hopefully it will be worth it. i'm feeling quite smug already!!

The first few weeks are the hardest - not because the cravings reduce by that much, but after those first few weeks/month you feel you've achieved something so it's easier to stay strong.

You'll also find that your general health improves after the 1st month, and that was a huge boost to my determination to stay off the fags. I still want one occasionally, especially when stressed or upset, but I've been off them for 8 months now, and feel great about it 🙂

Good luck hun giving up. It wont be easy but we will be here if you need to de-stress or get over a craving 😘

My hubby gave up drinking and smoking at the same time 7and a half years ago;cold turkey (he had a drink problem and decided to kick the fags too)and he's not touched either since. Very strong will power,I'm SO proud of him 😘

i quit just after xmas after a few failed attempts.mainly because we already have the smoking ban and because its too bleeding cold to be standing outdoors for a puff.you want to know what made me stick to it? my oh tipped an ashtray into a bottle and filled it with water(disgusting) put it away in a cupboard and would bring it out every time i craved one.the sight soon got rid of my craving.i also put my ciggy money in a jar every morning and treated myself to some lovely clothes at the end of the first month.couldnt believe id saved so much cash and it was a great insentive

good luck!
