almost quit

Hi There, found this forum whilst surfing the net. Well ive decided im quitting ..again ! ive one fag left in my box and im never ever going to buy more. This will be my 5th attempt and my final ( i will do it ) i did stop for over a year then stupidly started again ... i could kick myself i really could. but im determined to do it for good this time. Ive nicotin patches and gum at the ready so bring on the cravings !! Im gonna put the money id spend in a jar and have a fantastic holiday next year this is gonna be my incentive plus i will smell better and feel better . any advice would be greatly appreciated guys ! thank you and well done to you all xxxx

Hi Katrina and welcome to the forum. Good luck on your quit. Are you going to smoke that one fag or is it just there as a safety net. I would suggest you bin it. Soak it in water and chuck it away. Every time my o/h was at home he would smoke in the kitchen and leave his half smoked roll ups in the ashtray so I just emptied them into the bin (usually on to something wet and soggy - yuk!). I started my quit on patches and inhalator, got to the 10 mg and, against the nurse's advice, stopped using them altogether, although got a prescription for 5 mg just in case. Anyway I finished the patches two weeks ago and never felt better.

So I wish you luck and do come on here for support and a few laughs. Both of which there is plenty of.

Cravings? What cravings? If you tell yourself you're gonna get those horrid things then you WILL get them! Keep a positive mindset. I'm on day 11 and I feel great! No cravings at all. Hell, I don't even want a ciggie in the slightest.

You can do this!!

Hi Jan thank you for your kind words of encouragement ...seems like a really good place this forum ! and i have to admit putting my final fag in something really soggy and nasty does sound appealing ... in fact im going to do it now, Thanks xxxxx

You are welcome - did you do it? Did it make you feel good. I know it gave me a sense of achievement in a way.

hey Katrina

How is it going? I remember how my first step was the hardest. It is true that it is a scary prospect but it does get easier and easier.

best wishes x
