[Rosiebh]

I am 20 and smoked since I was 10. Smoking has been a huge part of my life and childhood unfortunately. I have also always struggled to breath because of it specially in the morning this is why I have had enough. I really want to quit but just don’t seem to be able to I’ve chucked fags away in frustration then got them out bin hour later any help guys ?

Welcome Rosiebh - you are on the right track by joining our community and looking for help to begin the best ever journey of your life.

I stopped cold turkey almost 3 years ago, the secret to my success was the mindset that I had to stop before they killed me - brief summary, woke up in the early hours 17 September 2015 unable to get my breath and possibly on the verge of COPD and decided enough is enough - its been a rollercoaster of a journey but so achievable with the right mindset, support (from here as can be lonely stopping) and knowledge on nicotine withdrawal is vital - read up on pinned posts here and elsewhere -

Below is some pinned posts and another good website with lots of information on it. We look forward to seeing your Day 1 post very soon....

Welcome. As Roisin mentioned reading the pinned posts is very helpful. Best to pick a quit date in advance and stick to it.
