I am pregnant and recently decided that termination was not an option for me (unplanned pregnancy, recently a single parent)
I have tried to quit before but often use stress/emotions as an excuse and also struggle to stay stopped once I am stopped.
I have already cut down and have the inhalators, mouths pray, lozenges and gum (allergic to the patches/skin irritations dizziness etc.)
I have also stocked up on sugar free gum that doesn't contain nicotine and am down to my last few cigarettes (will give them and all smoking paraphernalia to a neighbour who smokes, whatever's left over).
Anyway, any other tips? I know it's the best thing for this baby and now I've decided I am definitely going through with the pregnancy I know it's the right thing to quit. However, I am going through a lot of stress at the moment and worry if I don't deal with that I may lapse.
I want to give up for good. Not just for the pregnancy etc. But FOREVER. What can I do to make sure this is my last quit?
And what helped you quit?
I have previously stopped and started so much I just don't know how to make this stick.
I hate the smell and cost and everything and just want the cigs gone for good.
