Help 5 days in cracking....

[jjjjolop]

Starting to think less than 5 a day isn't a big deal.
Wouldn't it be nice to have cigarette in the sunshine with a glass of wine....
Chewing so much gum it's insane not nicotine.
Gave up easily pregnant but just keep going back aggghhh!

Google the progress you have made after a few days of not smoking - this helped me when i was wavering. Hang on in there it is worth it.

Thanks I'll do that!

Chewing so much gum it's insane not nicotine.

Do you mean you are not on nicotine gum but ordinary chewing gum?

Options:

• if you want to stick with cold turkey, ride the cravings out. Individually each craving only lasts a few minutes so do something to distract yourself. Consider getting the Allen Carr book if you haven't tried it already.

• get thee to a chemist and get some NRT. Use plenty and don't be afraid to double up - e.g. patches and gum.

• get an ecig. Local vape shops are best when you are starting out but even the pound shop kits are at least as good as NRT.

• go to the GP and ask for Champix - may not be suitable if you have any history of MH issues.

• contact your local stop smoking services. They can talk you through all the options and offer ongoing support whichever method you choose.
