There's only four days left of smoking! That's four whole days to clear your house, car, desk drawers and pockets of all smoking materials! It's also four days left until you stop that nasty habits once and for all.

How are you all feeling at this point? We're excited here at MSE Towers as we've got some fab stuff lined up for you throughout Stoptober

Just keep saying to yourself you are stronger than the cigs and try to get everyone who smokes to have a ceiling clean up party. The horrible nicotine stains they no longer notice will be vile when seen in a bucket.

Gave up myself nearly 11 years ago after 30 years of smoking.

I should clarify we don't smoke in house, but we often go into garden together. I know there will be lots of 'are you coming?', probably thinking its funny :-(

Good luck all xx
I stopped about 7 years ago and stayed stopped for 4 years then for whatever reason started again. It's been a 20 a day habit since then. So this time when I stop I WON'T be returning to the cigs.


*fingers crossed* I'm this positive this time next week!

Could you try maybe having a word with them, to let them know you're serious about quitting?

I havent posted on these forums for a long time .. but I NEED to do this so I am coming out of the woodwork !!

I smoke anything from 15 - 20 a day and have a huge credit card bill that will be gone when I quit

I have an e-cig that I use occasionally but I'm in a good place at the minute so think I will try to do it cold turkey (with motivation from here)

I've quit twice before when pregnant and started again with both once I had a drink And considering there will be no more babies ... I need the credit card gone so I can start to enjoy massages and coffee trips now on my day off when the kids are at school as motivation instead !!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Good luck Money Maker, it's a good idea to plan some treats for yourself and find all the joy and positive benefits that being a non-smoker can bring.

When I was a smoker I used to be found mostly hanging around on a lot of the frugal threads and such like on the Old Style Board trying to save a few bucks to get by - now I'm more likely to be found here on Health & Beauty since stopping smoking 'suddenly' all those money worries were gone away and I had spare money for saving as well as treats for things like getting my nails and hair done and taking better care of myself.
