I have today had what i intend to be my last cigarette I have decided the best way is to go cold turkey, I intend not to buy anymore cigarrette's, not to take any offered by friends and to eat a huge choccy bar when i get a craving for one, i am adamant that i can and will do this, i have to for my health in the long term and my family's even though i dont smoke around them it would affect them if i became ill. This is my promise to myself that i will take it a day at a time and try not to bite hubby's head off whilst suffering withdrawal symptons.... easier said than done i fear wish me luck girls! oh and i might need to join the fatties forum soon from all the chocolate i'm sure i'll be eating instead of smoking ;D

Good luck Susan, it is a loooong time since I gave up and I was never a heavy smoker so it wasn't so hard for me. Have you taken any advice from the various places you can get it? nhs etc? It might be worth having some sort of nicotine replacement handy in case you do get really bad cravings - might take the edge of enough. You know your self best though and you sound like a very resilient and determined person so I'm sure you'll do good! What will you do with all the money you'll save?

good luck Susan.
whenever i have given up in the past (mainly both pregnancy's,and before i got married) i always did it cold turkey. when i tried earlier in the year i used nicorette lozenges, and only managed 4 days.
i know you have to be absolutely ready to quit to succeed and i'm not ready yet.
when i am, i am seriously thinking of hypnosis.
i am sure you will manage it as you certainly sound focussed and ready.
hope you are ok.
