Hi Leah, a big warm welcome to this lovely quit site pal

Yep, before I came to this site, I had a problem quitting erm, I'm sorry, but have to go to bed now, cos am up early in the morning for work, but ave just posted a comment to another newbie, I will copy it and post it to you to have a read eh

but please try to plan your quit, sit yourself down, get a pen and paper, and think, what part of the day, do you really want a ciggie ? where do you need a ciggie ? what are you doing when you want a ciggie ? and write these down Then go back to them, and think, how you can change these trigger points Like are you going to use any NRT, Nicotine Replacement Therapy to help you quit ? Change your habits ! Change the times you do things ! and so on, all these little things add up to help you

I hope I've made sense and good luck on your trek

I hope this may help you Pete

Hey Leah12,

Welcome to Quit Support

Choosing to stop smoking is one of the best decisions that a smoker can make for the benefit of their health.

I have a few questions that I need to ask to gain so that we can get a bigger picture of your quitting smoking story, this will then enable us to help and support you further;

1. How many each day do you smoke?

2. Will you be using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)?

3. What are your reasons for quitting?

4. Do you have a particular time to quit smoking by - for example, within 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month?

Having the answers to these questions will help me to understand what advice is best to offer you.

The best advice that I would offer is to really think about any past quit attempts, think about how you are going to do it this time and also plan, plan, plan towards a quit date, set your quit date and then get excited about it

The above is what I would usually ask any new member and your answers will help form a good starting block to help keep you on the path that you have already started

Staying positive throughout your journey is also a big pointer towards being successful, this isn't always an easy thing to do. However, if you just bob on here, somebody is sure to lift your spirit
