Stop smoking!!!
so after a failed attempt last year it’s time to stop smoking! I know others on this forum have waged war with the stuff so I’m putting it in writing to garner support in my weak moments and maybe encourage others in the same boat!
It’s day one.
Patch on, gum in mouth and at got a million things to do to keep me busy today. Changing my daily routines to minimise triggers. Telling myself I’m amazing every time I manage another 5 minutes. No wine (🤬) and an early night tonight!
Wish me luck and encouraging thoughts please!
Anyone else?

For me, I think what worked was NOT saying " I'm never having another one" I said
" I'm going to stop for a bit". The "bit" has just turned out to be longer than I'd imagined.
Good luck and stick with it. You know it makes sense.
I know that, like drinkers, I’ll always be ‘a smoker’ but I’m one that doesn’t smoke .... ever. I even hate the smell of them, but sitting in a pub with a pint or outside a cafe in the sunshine with a good strong coffee and I have to be honest ... I do fancy one ... but I’ll never have one ... and it feels so good to know that with absolute certainty. My doctor says in giving up I’ve done more for my health than anything else I could ever do 😇
And don’t say to yourself or to others “I’m giving up” ... just say “I don’t smoke” ... and make it true ... it’s amazing how much that helps.
And be warned, if you have even a sneaky one I’ll be able to smell it on your clothes and in your hair ... in the cinema a woman came in and sat down six seats away from me ... I could smell the fag-smoke 🤢
So good luck... I’m with you 👍
That wave of the hand in front of smokers does nothing except, perhaps, make them feel better?
I've even smelt cigarette smoke when opening christmas cards.
Like Dove I cannot stand the smell of it on clothes, skin, furniture and just think of all the plants and gardening goodies you'll be able to afford with each packet you don't buy.
Pathetic, maybe, but I just can't stop.
Good luck.
for the fag ends of the aristocracy.
I worked out smoking cost me about 20p per hour...already saved 80p!
off to buy some manure and a new edging iron... will save the 80p for some plants!! 😂
@punkdoc ... all I can say is I understand, but I wish you didn’t ((hugs)) 😊
