Advice

[Cabbage88]

I'm proud to say I've cut down a ridiculous amount but I have to say I'm still smoking more then I like to admit..

For example a 30g pouch of tobacco wouldn't last a week before buying another. Now, 7 days later the 30g is near enough half full.

However, each time I smoke, I feel guilty for how I know perfectly well I shouldn't be.

I've managed to stop myself having a smoke as soon as I wake up. I don't have a cigarette after experiencing a stressful situation, instead I try and practice mindfulness. I'm trying to stop habitual behaviours in hope that the day I quit it should hopefully be easier.

Would anybody have any advice for a first time mother needing to quit?

I was prescribed champix tablets by the GP several years ago and they stopped me smoking after 20+ years of failed attempts.

It was frankly easy with no withdrawal symptoms and I've never even been tempted to smoke since.

My only regret was not knowing about them many years before.
