Really hope to Quit Smoking this year!!!!!

Hi Alley, it isnt easy and I am now hooked on the chewing gum, which annoys everyone, cant understand why I have to chew in places where I couldnt smoke, perhaps the gum is just as bad for me, who knows, but my resolution is to get to 3 bits a day, hope I can but..... Good luck and Take care XX This is year 4 so should be able 2.

Hi Alley,

I'll be watching your blog closely to pick up any tips. I haven't stopped smoking either .. daft, ridiculous and stupid but there you go we can't all be perfect!

Good luck,

Hi,

have you read Allan Carr 'Easy way to stop smoking' (paperback version)  the key is to only read when you truely want to stop for yourself, you can puff away while reading the book...It worked for me (25 a day for 28years)...my smoking friends were amazed because I had tried so many ways to stop..several of them did same as me and are now ex smokers...good luck, Annie

Hello ladies and thankyou for your replies,

Chrissie,it's the nicotine in the gum that's addictive,same as cigarettes so that's probably why you can't quite stop chewing it!

Bad fairy, I'm a bad Leprechaun, went to Sainsbury's on route to the doc's with my mum who has Parkinson's, passed the stand selling ciggies, I couldn't help it,they were "WINKING" at me, soooo disgusted with myself,but tomorrow is another day! Omg, I need a good slap,lol!

Annie,think I heard about that book a few years ago,really must check out Eason's when I'm next in town,thankyou!

You know girls, I've given up before for nearly a year so I know that somewhere inside I can do it,I think it's anxiety that's holding me back!

Will give it another go tomorrow,promise!!!

Big hugs to you all,

Shame on me!!!!
