You have been through the worst thing ever imaginable - I admire you for even thinking about doing it. You have had a tough time of it recently but I am sure everyone will agree that We are all here to keep you focussed and strong.
Well done you x
P.S I gave up 9 months ago - and I wouldnt say I am completely over being a smoker, as I am wanting one occassionally. However it does get easier and you learn to 'get on' with the feeling and learn to ignore it!
Wishing you loads of luck x

Dont beat yourself up about it Rach cos you have been through one hell of an ordeal, it may take time and even if you just cut down thats a good thing that you should recognise and praise yourself for. When I found out I was pregnant I decided to quit but it was damn HARD im behind you 100% if you ever need some ex-faggie support im here to back you up lol xxx (HUGS)
thanks everyone not such a bad day today had a ciggy after a row with the hospital this morning over post mortom results for jamie but thats it and am soon going to bed as i been up since 4:30 so am well pleased today

well done rach, i know how hard it is to give up as i gave up 2 yrs ago on may 4th just gone & it was 1 of the hardest things i have ever had to do & i cannot imagine giving up after what you have been & are going through at this awful time.
after you will be so proud of yourself & if you fail, you fail.
took me a few goes at giving up, i used patches & an inhalator, which you puff like a ciggie & nicotine hits the back of your thraot just like a ciggie, that was great & really helped.
well done & we are all here to support you.

its a plastic like ciggarette, with a hole bit that you suck the nicotene from, you get a little case to put the inhalator in & spare cartridges (which is where the nicotene comes from)
they are great, especially if you are out with friends who smoke, coz i would just puff along on my inhalator!!!
get one & try it, mine was by 'nicorrette' costa about £12 though but its money well spent.xx

Good Luck Rach.
Dont be hard on yourself though if it takes a few goes. You have been through immense sadness and pain and that is hard enough to get through let alone giving up smoking too.
Wishing u loads of luck

thanks lisa its not going brilliant and im slipping every day but every morning im getting up and trying again 1-2 is way better than 20 or more and every one i smoke now is starting to taste foul and i wonder why i bothered so am hoping this is going to help i will keep at it till i succeed nothing is going to stop me trying xxxxxxxxx
i will keep at it till i succeed nothing is going to stop me trying xxxxxxxxxI know how you feel Rach - I am 9 months down the line and I still want one 
! But I dont feel like that ALL the time - it is definatley getting better the longer time goes on!
If you go to the non-smoking thread there a couple of good ideas / topics - I know I posted some stuff on there.
When I gave up I had my losenges and came on here everynight just to keep busy! I also read the Allen Carr book which is brilliant (defiantely recommended)
