After giving up for 6 months last year I slipped up and started smoking again. Only the odd one and now I am all the way back to 20 a day. Yuck. So last Sunday I decided that enough was enough especially when you think of the cost and decided to give up again. So from 3 O'clock yesterday I stopped. I scrounged 2 yesterday off a guy that I work with but today I have not had any.

I am stopping the only way I know, cold turkey. No chewing gum, patches, hypnotherapy or plastic tubs to suck on. My mood? Bloody awful and I feel like verbally abusing somebody. I am sure it would make me feel a hell of a lot better, so any offers?

Got to keep on saying to myself, "think of how much money you will save" "think of how much better you will feel".

Hello...

I gave up 8 months ago now :-) (please don't hate me just yet!)

Tried and failed a number (...ok, L O A D S of times!).

My last attempt worked by reading the Allen Carr book - Easy way. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was 'easy' however, it did work for me. Works on the basis the you're not giving anything up, you're just stopping doing something that's a bit naff.:-) You already know the reasons why you shouldn't smoke (health, money blaa blaa...) but he points out the reasons WHY you smoke, and it leaves you feeling a little sheepish, when you realise how you have been fooling your own intelligent mind!

Genius!

You don't quit until you have finished the book, and by then I personally didn't want to smoke.

Buy it- it's only the cost of a packet of smokes if it does not for work!

Hope that you are successful!

In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments, just consequences.

Mike gave up the day before i went into hospital. (Probably not the best of times stress wise) He lasted about 18 hours :-( He says he is going to try again, so maybe you can give him some tips when you see him next :-)
