Hi TJ I last smoked a cigarette on Feb 6th, after smoking 15-20 a day. Can't believe I've lasted so long!! Willpower is what's needed, and determination - if you want to succeed you will. Just think of the money you save - mine amounts to about £700 so far, (100 BMD certs!.) Good luck! Angela |

Good luck in beating the ADDICTION of NIc O Tine, take one day at a time, mark it off on the calender, start a savings account at your Building Society and watch the money grow. are you using the patches? All welcome James |

Good for you ! I had my last ciggie on May 1st, couldn't have done it without the 24 hour patches though. Haven't had a patch on now for over a month so quite pleased with myself. You can do it, hang in there. Good luck Kathleen |

Read in some magazine about a new product made by the same people who do the patches called Nicogel or something like that. When you get an urge for a ciggie you peel what looks like a patch off and rub it in the palm of your hand for about a minute and it takes the urge away - lasts for about four hours. Anyone used or seen this. Lin |

No patches - No gum - nothing to aid me just pure will power. I decided at 4am this morning when i woke up having a coughing fit and couldn't catch my breath. I was scared - made the decision to quit - last ciggie 9pm last night. So far so good. Luv TJ xxxx |

Going great guns!!!! you passed the first hour and that is the hardest. If you have any close members of family ( partner, kids, or even close friends) look at them and ask yourself, do you want to be here for them always and give them the best of you? you need no other incentive than the face of someone you love! I should know i look at my kids and need them more than a fag! All the best Victoria |

Well done. You can do it. I found that a sip of fresh orange juice helped when the going got tough. Also found if I got up and did something it also helped. Now been 6 years 8 months since my last ciggie and that was after smoking 20/30 for 46 years. Believe me if I can do it anyone can. Jean x. |

TJ Well done you, with the help of the good people on GR I also had my last cig on April 1st at 10pm and have not looked back, I love not smoking, I love the way I can breathe easy, not smell and the list goes on lol. I wore patches for 6 weeks then decided I would go it on will power and you know what? If you want to do it you will - thats not saying it will be a walk in the park but the will of not wanting to smoke will overtake the will of wanting too. PM me if you want support more than willing to be a sounding board if you want to rant and rave. So proud of you - and as you watch the days add up and your money add up you wont want a cig.

Well done TJ You know you can do it!!! I stopped in 1987. Had been having E.C.Gs tests, and as soon as doctor mentioned I might have Angina (I didn't) I quit straight away. I was never a heavy smoker but would never go back. I detest the smell of them now. Mau |
