Champix,Zyban and also the inhalators help.It's fairly easy to stop smoking when you're on these.The tricky bit is when you stop taking them.

I like a smoke and have given up trying to give up.

Good luck

I am on my 6th week quitting. I could go all day smoking none but then smoke 20 within an hour when the symptoms of my illness hit during the night. (I'd be sitting waiting on my meds working)

I quit cold turkey but invested in Boot's own inhalators after about a week. Best thing I did. I kept them for during the night when I was sat on here trying to pass the time until I could go back to bed.

I've saved £175 so far. Amazing. All in a jar as well. Hope no-one decides to break in, mind you, they'd need to be built like Arnold to carry that jar. Lol

Keep on going, it does get easier!

i was a 20 a day person myself and quitting was the best thing i done..

just keep in there as i went cold turkey myself....i read a book called the nicotine trick and another book by alan carr about quitting smoking

well worth a read if you are finding it tough

[Andy777]

I also read the book written by Alan Carr - it was a real eye opener and in fact, it helped me a lot in the process of quitting!

Basically, I guess I am coming down with withdraw, but only when I feel stress (and it has been even better since my son has been sick and spent last night crying for 6 hours).

Any you people know what I am talking about? Anyone ever go through this as well?

I am wondering if there are ways to get over "stress smoking", that don't involve eating, e-cigarettes (bwahahaha), patches, or loss of stress (since that is how I perform best).

You haven't quit yet, you are trying to quit and are no presently smoking.

In a year or two you can say you've actually quit.

I've managed to be tobacco free for about 40 years and still get the urge from time to time.

I stopped for 4 years and as soon as the divorce stress got to me I started straight back up again, its hard to just give up.

I stopped again january this year and doing great so far, still really get the urge now and again though

I tried quitting many many times, each time I quit quitting, Until my gf booked us a holiday in Mexico (without me knowing) Now I gotta pay for it so thats helping. Cut down from 20 to 10 so far. So i havent quit but hopefuly well on my way.

Well done and good luck, I smoked rollies for years, really stopped after my 2 yr old was born, now I'm a social smoker, just when out drinking, so maybe 1 night a month i will smoke, but some nights have none. I think the fact i never said to myself i have stopped smoking, just cutting back, helped, and the fact I had no time to go out for 1 with 2 under 2's.

Don't be hard on yourself either, and you need to stop thinking about it, train your mind to think about something else, also did you do it at certain times, like have a cig when you were on the phone, or after food etc, you'll need to break the habbit which is hard. the more you think about stopping and counting the days the harder it will be. Relax, forget about it, you have moved on from that stage of your life. Join the gym, get fit, ( not saying your not already fit, or at the gym)
