Thanks for this thread and all who have posted, if I'm honest it was this thread that reminded me how much smoking sucks and how much better I am as a non smoker.
Good man!! Stick with it - I've made the exact same mistake in the past.

If I've gotten this far then I'm pretty sure you can too.

One full month today - woo hoo!!!

Re: Stopping smoking support.

This thread has given me the boost that I need(ed) to start thinking about giving up. Been smoking for nearly a year now, for someone my age I know how unhealthy that is.

I've signed up to the Smokefree United service, gonna sign up to the Quitnet site now - and I've also got an appointment at the stop smoking clinic tomorrow morning.

Here goes nothing!

Re: Stopping smoking support.

Official figures just in!

Your Quit Date is:Monday, September 14, 2009 at 12:00:00 AM
Time Smoke-Free:28 days, 6 hours, 47 minutes and 5 seconds
Cigarettes NOT smoked:1273
Lifetime Saved:9 days, 17 hours
Money Saved:£378.00

Lemony - welcome aboard!! Take my advice, quit now while you have a good chance to break it. Several years down the line when it really has a grip on you it will only get harder & harder.

Your Bob Marley quote sig couldn't be more apt.

You can beat the habit jules.
I beat Cancer and now i`m going to beat this addiction to nicotine. Nicotine will be harder believe me.
Apparently its more addictive than Heroin so i`m told.

You beat cancer then you can beat this addiction hands down.

Just remember now that you have set a date that the is no need to smoke a few extra because you are stopping, wean your self off slowly between now and 2/01/2010 and it will be so much easier to quit.
