I AM quitting for someone else.

[nsd_user663_3847]

Hi everyone. I have smoked for about 10 years now. I AM quitting tomorrow because i really need to do it. I am a single parent to a 3 year old girl and i want to stop so i can run around the garden with her, it nearly kills me right now after about 10 minutes of running about.

I am starting tomorrow, using the inhalator just for back up.

Good luck to everyone else on this mission of better health.

I am going to go with the nicorette inhilator. I got some waiting for the morning, new day new start.

But i heard good things about the Allen Carr book, so thinking about getting it tomorrow with the money i would be buying cigs with.

Hi and welcome!

Allen Carr is very good, didn't entirely "click" for me but was certainly helpful, and the key is to change the way you think about smoking, and quitting.

In your case you will be gaining the health and stamina needed to play with your daughter etc rather than sacrificing some great pleasure!! You will see some links in my signature there are a couple of free "quit smoking" programs and loads of inspirational and educational stuff to be found on those sites to.

One last thing to remember, is that although you are motivated to quit because of your daughter, the person that will benefit from it the most is you, you are quitting for yourself not someone else! They will benefit as well, but if you decide that you are are doing it for yourself then you are less likely to resent the fact that you have quit when irrational thoughts crop up IMHO.

best of luck with it
