Hello All,

I thought i would join this forum after reading all the messages of support. I'm on day one, having had my last ciggie at midnight last night.

I've given up a few times before, and always relapsed, but I am so determined to quit this time! :)

Laura :)

Congratulations on your decision to quit! :)

I and many others here have tried to quit before without success - but seem to be winning this time around. :) I really believe having this forum is a great help.

I used Champix for 9 weeks and have also done a lot of reading. Alan Carr is to be recommended.:)

Good luck and believe you CAN do it this time! :)

Welcome Laura...

this is the place to get the support you need to get u thru your quit...

and read read read...

like many others tried endless times to quit but this time seems

to be working:p

I've been taking champix for a month although only on 1/4 dose now..that

along with Allen Carr and all/any web sites I could find is whats helped

this time...and the odd herbal stress/sleeping tablet:o

wish you loads and loads of luck for your quit...

Jill, Friday is gonna be a great day! Why? Because you will be getting rid of the nasty nicotine!! Thats a great accomplishment so don't dread Friday! You'll do just fine :)

Oh, and make a note of the fags you smoke from tomorrow onwards. Note the time and give each fag an enjoyment level between 1 and 10 (10 being the best).

I think you will find, most of these fags are just being smoked just for the hell of it. Not because you REALLY wanted one. If you was to pick out only the fags you REALLY 'enjoyed', there wouldn't be that many.

You could then use these notes to remind you just how much you 'thought' you 'enjoyed' them when you have stopped.

Its as Carr says, when we smoke, we want to stop, when we don't smoke, we then want to. Go figure!

Nice one Laura and Jill!!

Good luck with it!!!! :D

a helpful hint?

Another possible "aid" (that I used and worked wonders for me..:))

is to keep the last one or two fags-ends & ash that you smoke in a

jar - everytime you are even vaguely tempted to give into the devil,

open it and inhale deeply:eek::eek:

It'll be absolutely vile and will kick any crave into oblivion...:D

good luck to everyone just started or about to start their quit...

Hello Laura and Jill,

Good luck on your quits, I think it really helps to read just about everything you can find on smoking, really seems to reiterate why we get so hooked, I'm just entering week 3 and finding it easier than I anticipated before I quit but it's still hard work. But then nothing's easy if it's worth doing!!!

All the best, Jane
