Hi, this is my first message on here so not really sure what I'm doing. Lol.
Been stopped now for over 6 weeks using patches. I've stopped smoking so many times and always started again so hopefully, hopefully this is my last time of putting myself through all this!
I've been reading all the messages of support and advice and wish everyone the best of luck in finally beating the evil cigs.

Hi and Welcome Joanna
well done so far on your quit 6 weeks thats brilliant ... people on here are really friendly so look forward to your posts.
Well done on your quit...I'm in roughly the same place- 7 weeks today.
Most of us find it really helps to read around the sites (Joel's library. Whyquit. Woolmang etc) because the more you read the more shocking it becomes that you ever considered putting one of those things in your mouth in the first place!
Wow! Thanks so much to all you lovely positive people who have sent messages of support. It's great to know so many people are feeling the benefits of stopping
I've stopped so many times. 1 year was the longest and what has always started me again is either feeling like I'm missing an old pal (cigs) or just the thought that I'm fed up of "trying" as smoking has always just been me.
Kinda feel different this time though as had a bit of a health scare so thinking more along the lines of what kinda pal does that to you? Lol.
