Today is the day I QUIT!!!

Ok...

Today is D Day, DH and I are quitting smokIng, for good.

Never tried to quit before, never really wanted to quit before TBH

But I've now got to the stage where I hate it, I actually hate it!! I hate smelling like crap, I get paranoid about where I smoke (which I took as a sign that it was time to quit)

I won't smoke in public places (because I think it looks horrible)

I never smoke in my house anyway but hate going to relatives that smoke in their homes (their choice but I don't like it) etc etc etc

We're going cold turkey!! And at least we are doing it together.....

Anyone else quitting or has already quit??

Any words of wisdom to share?

DH and I have already agreed to help each other if we get stressed or narky etc

We have also agreed to not let food become the new habit etc

We want to feel healthier for our DS (5) and we want to save the money.

I am nearly 30 smoked for 15 years and DH is nearly 39 and has probably smoked for nearly 20

Any advice or tricks to remeber would be great

Happy new year xx

MilitaryWag you CAN do it. It won't be easy, but it will be worth the struggle. Good luck.

Another one here who is giving up - 5 fags left in packet and have only had 3 today (usually 20 a day) so when this packet is finished I WILL NOT buy any more. This will be the 4th time I've tried - longest I lasted was 9 mths and oh how I wish I hadn't had the "one won't hurt" fag cos I would have been quit nearly 3 years by now. Good luck everyone
