Giving up smoking

Woodster76

I failed miserably after 3 weeks..... Seeing the nurse next week at my local GP hopefully I can arrange an appointment with her and have a chat what I can do next and how they can support me.

I'm still not smoking and have even made it through a few nights out without reaching for them.

Well done Baileysonice and I know what you mean about 2 months having gone past quickly. In some ways it feels like forever ago that I was tearing my hair out with wanting a cigarette but the how-long-I've-given-up-for markers are definitely flying by now.

Woodster, don't beat yourself up about it and good luck with the next (and hopefully final) attempt. I hope the nurse can give you whatever you need.

No Woodster, you're not a failure because you didn't succeed, you're a success because you tried. This ain't no easy task, & you will succeed one day

Well done to everyone!

Don't be too hard on yourself, it isn't easy.
My final successful attempt was about my fourth serious attempt to give up. I'm now almost 4 years smoke free, so don't let one (or two or three or more ) failed attempts put you off trying again.
Have a think about what went wrong and see if you can try something different. Maybe trying NRT, or avoiding drinking/social situations where you tend to smoke more for a month or two.

Thank you for your kind words Angry Bear, DUKE & Izadora.

Felt I was doing so well yet a moment of weakness undid all my hard work. It is hard and work isn't helping with my anxiety. Not a good excuse I know - I should of just drove straight home instead of the shop. I've learnt my lesson and will try again on Wednesday.

Well done Izadora on hitting the 2 month mark. I hope you're proud of yourself. I hope you've treated yourself to something nice with the money you have saved.
