Hi,

I made the decision to quit smoking today. I havent had a cigarette since 12.30, and am wearing my 24-hour patch.

Does anywhere know where I can get some support, and some people to talk to to help me through this?

Thanks,

Kim xx

Hi Kim, Your GP should have a smoking cessation clinic which will provide you with patches and support. Good luck with your quit.

Hi Kim

Well done on the decision to quit. It was the hardest step for me to take.

If you are in the UK - call the NHS Smoking Helpline: 0800 169 0 169 - they should be able to tell you which local smoking clinic you can attend. I had the choice of one-to-one and group sessions either at the weekly clinic, or at my GP surgery or even local pharmacy. I went for one to one meetings at a weekly-held clinic and have greatly benefited (the low key being an adviser I did not get on with but I expressed my wish to see another and it is great).

Also note that they should also provide you with free NRT so save you money.

The forum is also great to share and get support!
