    Good luck with the next attempt, Sax11 :) What methods have you tried? Someone I know used the Allen Carr book - worked for him apparently...

    So lovely that spring is here! :j :j :j

    How thoughtful of your LO, just_a_girl, to make sure you're in to receive the ITV call. I do worry they might have got your number and my number mixed up though... :rotfl:

    I've tried. Zyban, champix, patches, lozenge, spray, gum, going cold turkey, electronic. Can't afford hypnosis or any more prescriptions

    And i've read that book - utter tosh
