Hi eithne, welcome to our friendly place

There are a few things to consider before you reach your quit date;

- Are you planning on using any form of stop smoking therapies? Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or non- nicotine?

- Do you know that you can get free help and support locally? If you want to know more about your local stop smoking service, private message me your postcode and I can let you know of your nearest service.

- what are your reasons for wanting to stop? Monky (Pete), one of our lovely long term members has put up his long list of reasons for quitting, you may want to have a look at it, I'll pop up a link in a mo.

Also, have a look at the following link which I hope will help you to understand what part of smoking actually satisfies you;

One of the main keys to success is all down to the planning beforehand. Positivity also counts too

Hi ya Eithne

The patches are very good I use the 16 hour ones, which you are supposed to take off at night, erm, but sometimes I forget eh either er-in-doors has got it on her, or the cats playing with it I think they stick the best

You will probably get red marks on you, where you stick them and they will itch !!, this will only last a few days, then your body gets used to them

I know just what you mean about the dancing thing, Hey, we are all in the same boat on here and we are all heading for freedom, just like you are eh

I read the book Easyway to stop smoking and have been stopped smoking for 2 years in February, I found the book a real eye opener and it brain washed me into becoming a non smoker, fantastic easy method
