I have decided that I want to quit smoking.
I have tried before and lasted 3 months on the patches. The problem was that I put on weight and felt unhappy with myself so I started smoking again then the weight dropped off.
I want to quit because I dont enjoy it, I am smoking more and more, especially when I'm board, I am also getting married next year so could do with the money.
I suppose one thing I am worried about is that I wont be sucsessful again.
If anyone has any advice or encouragement, this would be greatful apriciated
Go For It Gemma
Hi Gemma..........GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im 42 and smoked since I was 15.........have also given up on a few occassions with varying results.....used patches, hypnotherapy, zyban, reading Alan Carrs book, u name it!
Cutting a long story short I am now on patches again (still not smoked after 5 weeks) and they have worked great.
What I would say is read Alan Carrs No Smoking book sometime, it puts smoking in perspective and will give you some thoughts on why and how it is not to hard to give up! Basically it boils down to the fact that we are told how hard it is by every1 to give up, but..........is it really that hard?
Anyway good luck.......dont feel pressurised to give up.....just do it for yourself and work on each day at a time.....it really isnt that hard.
PS This site will help you all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
