BL - don't be so hard on youself.

look at when you have smoked over the last week. What is trigering the craving?? bored sitting in front of the telly?? morning cuppa??

fnd your trigger point and change that.

good luck to you all.

smoked a bit as a teenager coz my parents and everyone else did - fortunately never got addicted so giving up wasn't a trouble

i think Lilac put her finger on it - look for the thing that makes you want one, and ambush it by doing something else.

BL - it will be really hard if your OH smokes so specially good luck with that

Hey

Just a quick update, i worked out how much i spent a year on cig's. At say £6 a pack per day. Was over £2000 + plus then a can of red bull with ever pack took it to £2500.

So, i did mention that i was going to the doctors about using Zyban, well because i am going to Africa i can't because of milaria tablets would kill me.

So, instead i am taking Champix, i know there has been a lot of bad press about this drug. But i am good so far, i'm on day 4 at the moment and due to stop smoking on Thursay.

Good luck everyone. :rotfl: :T :rotfl:

I have been thinking about hypnosis, one of the nurses at the hospital does it and has asked me if i would be interested. I wasnt too sure at the time but im seriously thinking about it now.

I think anything is worth a try. I tried hypnosis many years ago when I was addicted to Marathon bars and was munching my way through 3 a day. I had two sessions of hypnosis (privately) and it actually worked. I very rarely eat chocolate these days. Like anything it depends how much you want to give up. Give it a go, what've you got to lose.
