Anyway if your struggling Mr A or anyone else for that matter there is a link in the adds at the top of this thread to Allen Carr, I know several people who gave up after reading his book, several out of millions worldwide apparently. Only 99p from Amerzon to.

Re: Stopping smoking support.

Well done Mr A. Bet all the mini angries are really proud.

Does that mean I have to quit to get a boat trip?

Gimme a shout some time.

Re: Stopping smoking support.

Jules - let me tell you if I can try it anyone can.

Today was TERRIBLE - real cravings for the fist time - left the office early and went home for fear of stabbing someone or throwing someone out of a window.

Secretly I have staff whom I'd previously considered these options for as a viable option - even when I was smoking.

I must really be starting to detox now (15 days in) as the point where my patch was looks like a square "love bite".

My GP's receptionist advised me to stop with the chewing gum and mints as they were not helping since they too were a habit I had in tandem with smoking.

She recommends brandyballs - who am I to argue?

You are doing really well Mr Angry, don't give up giving up. It's all too easy to just pick up a fag and smoke it, and then what? You will hate yourself for being weak, and your 15days of struggle have all been for nothing, imagine starting all over again ! You CAN and WILL do it. Take one day at a time. We are all rooting for you!

Re: Stopping smoking support.

Come on you can do better than 15 days..just try one more day.

One day at a time..

Have you set a reward for the first month?Like a day trip or a show or a film.Setting small goals of time and then rewarding yourself for getting there is one way to keep going.

Re: Stopping smoking support.

I found using a stress-ball helped with the murderous thoughts.
Keep up keeping up
