    Here it all comes...
    I've been avoiding the thread the last few days and smoking.
    But, just now, while having a fag, I asked myself do I really want this? And this time I was honest. I put the fag out immediately.
    And after I'm going to bin all the fags, lighters and ashtray.
    I even looked at the shed floor and saw all the cigarette ash, my parents must know!

    course they do, Adz.

    I thought I could hide it from my parents when I'd been smoking, but you can't. The smell just stays around your clothes and it is sooo obvious

    Welcome back, anyway :)

    Hi everyone can I join you please?

    I have always been an occasional smoker but have recently started smoking more and really want to knock it in the head before it gets a grip.

    Im just about to put my last one out!!!!!!!

    Of course you can :)

    Everyone's really supportive and friendly here.

    Are you quitting cold turkey?

    I don't think Jo's here... so I'll nick her bit...

    Make sure you read the first post, it's full of great links, from a counter telling you how long you've not smoked for, how much life and money you've saved, to gruesome videos and persuasive links.

    We're all here for you :D

    Thanks Adzha - I am going cold turkey - I have managed twice before with each pregnancy but started again soon after giving birth.

    Did you all tell everyone that you were giving up. Im a bit worried about colleagues asking me all the time how its going - I imagine it will be like being reminded about cigs.

    None of my family (apart from OH) know I smoke and all my friends are none smokers too so that should make things easier. x x
