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.

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.

Right everyone BACK on topic which is being supportive of Mr A and others in trying to give up smoking.The very next post that is off topic or non supportive will be deleted.

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.

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