Need help.... started it, and not found time to continue. Want to give up smoking, but cant do it on willpower alone- been there done that, and failed.

i smoke like a god damn chimney again after cutting down while pg, and i WANT TO STOP! For one, i cant afford it much longer!!!

So, anyone reading it that can motivate me or anyone read it and its worked?!?

HELP!

Book has gone in the post to you today, so it may be with you in the morning. If not should be there Monday.
Join in one of the stop smoking threads which are full of people at various stages of giving up. Before you know it, you'll be one of those giving out the advice, telling people how you cracked it.
Let me know when it arrives.

I'm reading it again after dropinthe sent me it before xmas. My friend is reading it too, we both got to about half way through and then hid it. I think its common as you know what you are about to put yourself through. He seems to have helped alot of people on here, so you never know we might be lucky this time
