Well done!! I tried to stop ***many*** times .... the last time that I smoked a cigarette was in 1992. I think you have my email address? Happy to give you support any time you'd like to make contact. |

I stopped 1 Sept last year - take it a day at a time and pay yourself the money you would have spent on ciggies and hide it. Save it up for treats - I am still doing this - OH thinks it is funny but I refer to it as my mad money or my smoking Bonus!! Still crave one now and then - but good luck anyway. Ann |

TJ You should be so proud of yourself, give yourself a huge pat on the back. Wait until you can smell things for real, I used to think people were talking cr*p when they said that - but now I can smell a smoker or someone who is smoking a mile off lol. Well done.. Debs x |

Well done and remember it gets easier as time goes by. I gave up on New Years Eve and have managed to stick to it, with a few 'glitches' to be honest! However, I don't long for one like I used to and even the pub is not the danger zone it was..... Well worth it as have saved a fortune and don't smell like an old ashtray anymore :) Keep it up...... |

41 hours and still clean - yes - but I can smell the stale stuff in the curtains etc. Could do with 10 washing machines to keep up with washing!!!!!! Could just do with OH quitting now!!! Wishful thinking!! |

Well done T.J. I gave up on 13th March this year. At first I felt lousy, tired, hot flushes increased and mouth ulcers but that passed off after a few days. I still have a 'plastic ciggie' but only put a cartridge in every few days. Recently we went away for the weekend and I got talking to a lady who gave up smoking 6 years ago but she still likes her pretend ciggie. If I am honest I still would like a real one sometime but I am determined not to succumb. Good luck love and keep at it. bye Margaret |
