Still haven't had one. I've just bought some nicorette lozenges to help with the craving but not actually feeling too bad yet.

Sorry she can't make bigger ones, but trollbracelets aren't too expensive if you need a nice treat :-D

I'm sure you don't need to hear how others did it but 8 days in intensive care, ( 2 intubated ) did it for me. {hug}
Also coinsided with the ban on smoking in the work place }hairout{
I have to say that walking into town knowing that I have beaten that habbit was great,
I walk a little taller, not hard at 5ft 1
It's like I have a secret

Well done and best wishes.

Just think how amazing it will be to tell your family when you do feel confident you've cracked it this time.

I'm another ex-heavy smoker. At my peak (?) I could get through 40 a day. I tried cutting down, as others have said, but honestly found that cold turkey was the way to go.

I know you can do this. There is help available, which there wasn't when I stopped a long time ago, and there is no shame in asking for it.

Many ex-smokers tell me that they didn't really experience many side effects but there is always one cigarette that is hardest to give up. Mine was the after-dinner one. I got over this by finding something active to do straight after the meal, preferably something involving the hands. My best friend took up knitting; my OH started doing the washing up and I did piano practice.

Well done. Take one day at a time.
Bea; 19 hens (most of whom I intended to get); 6 bantams (which I never intended to have); old Benji dog and young Toby dog (who I definitely wanted). Three years into country living and loving it.
