question for lisa31

[rach]

hi hun did you try anything else before lozengers ive been on patches for 4 weeks now and failing awful was wondering wether to try the lozengers instead or maybe something else im really fed up with myself need some new ideas xxxxxxxx

 

Are you on about nicotine lozenges? I've tried patces and am allergic to the glue in them (am allergic to plasters) . Not tried the lozenges but the inhalator is discusting, tastes like 2 day old wet fag butts (not that I've tried one, but what I'd imagine it would taste like!!). Just so you know, they are horrid!

yeah sami hun was on about the nicotine ones i think thats what lisa used to give up i was considering that inhalator thing might still give it a go im willing to try anything ive tried the gum and the patches i really want to give up before i get pg not after like last time i dont want to take any risks with next baby at all xxxxxxx

 

Good luck sweetie. The inhalator may have come on some since i tried it 2 yrs ago. Have you tried the gum?

 

[rach]

yeah i did try the gum but it made me really sick but might give it another go like i said willing to try anything now think i will try lozenges next and if they dont work il try inhalator failing everything im gonna book myself in for hypnotherapy this is not going to beat me xxxxxxxxxxx

 

It's definately worth giving up mate. I regretted not stopping smokign earlier with Damien, and I only quit after I was told he would come earlier if I didn't.

 

[rach]

im def gonna try sami hun xxxxxxxx

 

If you can't though, don't feel guilty. We all have our one vice. xxx

 

[rach]

[HayleyB]

I've totally lost the will power to stay stopped!

How many you smoke a day though Rach?

 

[lisa31]

So so sorry Rach - only just seen this post. Hope your ok (as much as you can be)

You name it, I tried it before the losenges. None of them were as effective. I have now still quit for almost a year - and I am definantely feeling better in myself for it.

Have you tried the losenges? Try also reading the Allen Carr book as well as I found that helped. Also I used to come on here every night for hours to pass the time till bed and that really helped too!

Let me know if you need any more advice

and I wish you loads of luck xxxxxx

This is something I have realised I should start doing, quitting !! I have NO willpower to quit though Maybe I will when I am pg?
I am only on about 1 or 2 a day though unless I go out or have a drink, then it's a fair few more

 

[lisa31]

Ahhhh Sami - i know what your going through - its bloody hard.

And you have had a lot of stress with Damien - perhaps when things have settled down with him and if you have any other worries / stresses - then that would be the best time to try again.

You can always log on here and I will support you!
