I-m not to keen on this idea but am doing it for my boyfriend. I have quit before for 9 months but slipped up due to a really angry day! (I didn-t know what else would chill me out)! and now have been smoking for 2 months again but have stopped today.I-m a recovered alcoholic but while our addictions may be poles apart, the principles are exactly the same, firstly that you want to do it.

To stop alcoholics from relapsing apart from other parts of our program, we look at all the benefits of giving up and add those to the consequences of not.

Alcoholics are taught, never take the first drink, so never take the first cigarette.

As with alcoholics, your addiction will continue to get worse and affect all those around you.

Good luck! I gave up on budget day, not this one, but the one when cigarettes went up to five shillings a packet (25p). I haven-t bought one since.If you usually smoke more than 1 pack a day consider the patch. If you smoke 10-20 a day use nicotene gum when you get a craving. If you were like me and only smoked 1-4 a day and when stressed, then there is a simple solution: STOP!

Don-t be too hard on yourself for slipping. I still smoke 1 every 2-3 months, but I know I can-t smoke whenever I want because 2 becomes 4 becomes a pack, etc. A cig on really stressful days is ok, but a kiss from your boyfirend is better.Ive been quit a month today because my boyfriend and dad were nagging me to! its not as bad as i thought it would be!

I used the patches but stopped using those after the first week and I have been using the inhalater ever since!

I dont really have any tips other than stay stong!

I wont give in to smoking now, I am too stubborn!

You did it for 9 months before so thats a really good try! do that again and see if you can last a bit longer!avoid things you are not addicted to, but that trigger cravings, like
coffee
alcohol,
huge spicy meals,
cocaine and other stimulants

take up a hand occupier, like juggling- it helps a surprising amountNicotine gum helped me kick the habit, but you really have to do it because you want to, not because someone wants you to.Find something new to do with your hands or just keep busy for the first few weeks , thats what i did and I havn-t touched one in 5 years.
i started using the treadmill and did a lot of cleaningMy brother gave up smoking by sucking on Foxes mints. He said that when he smoked after sucking the mint it tasted horrible!

Will be alot cheaper than Nicotine if it works.
