Say 'no!' to Nick O Teen

[imaginaryfriend]

Hi gang, join me here. And anybody else keen to join us in kicking the evil weed.

cc, your posts are getting smaller and smaller. Are you disappearing? Like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland ... all that's left is your smile!

cc I keep feeling a bit smug too. BUT yesterday had lunch with a smoking friend. In a pub. And I really really was tempted. Got as far as holding one in my hand and saying to her 'one will be ok' before I forced, literally forced myself to put it back. Jeez, it's so easy to fail isn't it?

SEA are you still lurking?

Custy?

yes still lurking

the thread of few words

haha no i feel i don't belong here at the mo. you're all doing great and i'm useless with no will power

We are all doing great after falling on our faces more times than ANY of us would care to imagine, you LEARN from your mistakes, till you get to the point where you cant kid yourself anyore, you just cant smoke anymore.

did you get any help from the dr cc or go to a support group?

I used up my supply of pathes from the docs, I used lozengers for a while, i cold turkeyed x 10000000000 and went to hypnosis and still wanted to smoke...but after spending 90 quid on it I cryed for hours and thought nnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooo im not going to smoke...hypnosis was my final straw IYKWIM, there was no hope for me after that.

I also read allen carr and whyquit and really those are the things that got me through it, and the knowledge that just one was never just one for eme...and really i coulodnt smoke again, so just get that thought right out your head and MOOOVVEEE on....easier said than done,. I know but it had to be.
Never have another fag...., its worked for me.

oh so hypnosis doesn't work then! i had a great dr who tried acupuncture, which worked for a couple of days. the whyquit and allen carr does seem to be the only thing that could work for me too.

my dad smoked loads and then just gave up one day, and didn't even tell us.

What the woman said to me was exactly, word for word what I had brought on a cd from ebay for a fiver

There is no magic cure, but it is all down to you.
Theres always gonna be a fag smoking away somewhere, its you making the choice that it hasnt got your name written on it.

true! there are some people making alot of money out of the quitting business. it's something you have to reprogram in your head ultimately isn't it

yep, im sure the patches companys are the tobacco companys BTW.

mm that would make sense, both have nicotine. have to look into that. grr why don't they just stop making them

I know. They really should. Too much money in it I guess

way too much money. i'll have to google about it. sick of giving my money to these fat companies.

southeast-you say we are all doing well on here,well i have stopped a million(almost!!!) times before,so its still one day at a time for me.

find this thread is massive support for me

I agree with notasheep, if it weren't for this thread all the other things like whyquit and Allan Carr wouldn't have been enough to swing it for me. It was the thought that someone is always here (unless you're a disappearing cat of course ) to speak to who's been through exactly the same process and who won't judge you for failures but who will keep encouraging you to go on. It's been more support than my dp, than anything, truly.

So thanks again guys!

SEA I've also quitted and started and procrastinated about quitting exactly like you're doing. Even now I feel very precariously 'quit', like I was saying earlier, I feel it would be VERY easy for me to go backwards. It really scares me sometimes.

Look, pack it in, cc. Where are those great long posts filled with cut and pastes you're known for?

Theres a few below from yesterday...sorry am I gwetting on your wick? It was amusing me

It's been amusing me too, cc, only joking But I do miss your proper posts ...

Should be back latr will a long one...hows everyone getting on?
