:) Only 2 hours to go and hopefully i will be able to give up me ciggies.
But i think it's gonna be a big challenge. I have tried 2x in the past year and failed after a few days, but this time I am really gonna give it my all.
I gave up when I was pregnant with my eldest, that was nearly 10 years ago - I stopped for a year and then, WHY did i start again!! I didn't even feel like it. i was just being sociable.
I don't think I can hack it !!!!!!!! I am scared and under pressure!!!
ARRRGGGGGGGGGGGhhhhhhhhh:panic:

I've never smoked so can't imagine what you are going through at the thought of giving up.

My brother and his partner gave up recently no patches, nothing and I know one of them is finding it hard.

Susan gave up on the forum.

Perhaps you could speak to her as she has done so well.

She just stopped, cold turkey also but maybe she could guide you along the way, I'm sure she would not mind

Hope I'm not talking out of turn here Susan, I know you are busy

Anyway good luck Sandra with giving up.

You've done it once you can do it again

Every time you think you want a cigarette, have an argument with yourself! The craving only lasts a few minutes, so if it's a long enough argument, the craving will pass and you won't smoke!

Good luck Sandra - it's very, very hard but you can do it!! Just think of all the £££ you'll save :p

Now... what are you going to buy yourself? :D

Hi Sandra

Willpower is the key babe

As Carol has said I went cold turkey as it was the easiest way for me to just not have one at all, I didnt see a point cutting down.... dont like gum and didnt want the patches, but everyone is different.

I have to be honest and say I have slipped up a few times but I have still not started smoking again.

When I really want one I look at my kids and they are reason enough to not have one, I do not want to look back and say if only i'd stopped smoking.....


good luck and i'm here if you need anything xxxx

Thanks girls!
I was having a craving and I came on here and saw all of your support and it made me feel so much better. I am not feeling that bad today, at the moment, but I know it will get worse as the day goes on.:panic:
But i'm feeling totally positive at the moment.:clapping:

Love Sandra XXX

when you get the craving do something with your hands, i.e type, sew or knit, i'm going to do this when i get a craving for chocolate (will start tomorrow as i've just had a fun sized bounty bar :blush: )

dontkeep any in the house and when you want one you will not be so tempted if you dont have any .....

yep, thanks susan,:)

I had advice that if you keep some in the house your cravings won't be so bad..but guess they were wrong.

Thanks for your advice.

i found it easier not to have any stashed anywhere i could get my handson them ie house, car etc ....

if you would have to get in the car and go to the shop for example for some your less likely to bother and ride through the craving rather than givin in to it xxxx


keep going dont give up giving up xxxx

LOl!! sorry I find it funny, but i can just imagine you in a car (having to guess what you look like, here) going "I want a ciggie, get out of my way...Or i'll run u over" BRUMMMMMMMMMMM

I feel angry a lot too and I take it out on everyone. I am lucky I don't drive or I'll probably try to run someone over aswell.
Ha!!:)

You'll see my post on your quitters thread!! I feel so guilty but I have been having a few crafty puffs now and again. All that "i'm going to quit" malarcy and now look at me, smoking 5 a day and it hasn't even been a week since I tried stopping.
It's funny, but while I am posting this, the NHS adverts are on the tv! Maybe someone "up there" trying to tell me something.:)

I felt really really ill and dizzy, I couldn't sleep that first night and felt really anxious about everything. I had bad PND after I had Tim, that was 9 years ago, nearly, but I am scared that I will feel depressed if I stop, now as, like I said I felt really anxious those 2 days that I gave up cold turkey, ad it reminded me of me depression. But I dunnooooooooo!!!!!!!!! I am gonna have to one day soon. I am still trying..
Maybe we should do it with patches or gum, Rascal, if cold turkey fails.
