I smoke about 20 a day.

I Stopped completely when pg and b/feeding and started again about 18 months ago when I was at the pub.

It is costing me a fortune.

Super NP:) Its june now, so 2 months would have been April, 3 march, 4 feb...

No worries :) Nice to know I have helped:) I am now...oeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr 1 year and 7 months !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't been feeling very well and I'm sure smoking has something to do with it. I want to stop!!! AGH!!!!!! Where do I start stopping?

Well I vaguely imagined I might stop this morning ... alas ... no ...

It took me YEARS to finally get my head round really really stopping. Everytime I failed I learnt something new though. Till id ran out of excuses and reasons.
Its a damn sight easier to keep smoking and ignore the niggly little voice in your head...that is true.
But once you have stopped and your not waking up with a mouth like a dead rat with your first thought being where the ashtray...aw I cant tell you how good it is, its :):):):)

Yes I know it is - you see I once gave up for over a year in my early 20s. Imagine if I'd never started again!! I'm going on 40 now ...

So you probably know it only takes 1 to get you back to a million a day...WELL, at least you know its possible, you have done it before, and probably really enjoyed being free.
Have you read allen carr?

Yes, I read him when I quit before. I've still got the book. I'll dig it out. Good idea. In this hot weather I've been feeling so crap and smoking feels dry and horrible, really horrible.

Remember that when your glaring at people smokign wishing you could too :) Yep dig the book out, good summer time reading:)

Been away from most Mumsnet threads for ages, but just wanted to say to Charliecat & Scummy am sooooo chuffed for you both. :o

Charliecat - this really is your forte
Imaginary - I don't know about Whyquit but I do know about Allen Carr... after starting in my early 20's I built up to between 20 and 40 a day (depending on whether I went out or not) and tried to give up using inhalators, patches, gum, hypnotherapy, accupuncture, Zyban, you name it. All failed.

I read Allen Carr and have never looked back.
Don't set yourself a quit date - set yourself a "start to read" date. You can think about a quit date nearer the time.

I've nearly quit ... I'm down to 1-2 fags a day. But I can't make that final leap.

HOW????????????
