Well done Sara, Stick with it !!! Have a pint of water - that is what I did when coming off the weed and felt like a sneaky smoke.

Thats very true you know, I just went cold turkey and after about a week I started to hate the smell of smoke. But whatever method you use to quit, stick at it. Good luck and remember, just say

Keep it up Sara - I got off the weed (2 packs a day for 20 years) using the patches 2.5 years ago and have never looked back.

Well done, stick with it, don't give up giving up (if you know what i mean), i gave up 8 year's a go using the vile tasting chewing gum, all my mate's took the ****, but only cos they could'nt give up. The only downside i found was, when i went out, cos i was'nt smoking i drank like a fish, but this also helped, because i had such massive hangover's the next day it put me of smoking anyway. Good luck.

One sneaky smoke will ruin the whole effort so far, good luck.

There's a school of thought that believes by using patches all you are doing is prolonging your addiction.

put your cigarette money into your drinks fund and swap one addiction for another

3 days is good going, you'll feel a lot better. When will you stop using the patches though?

Well Done!!

My mother has smoked for over 40 years, 20 **** a day.

She has tried the patches in the past and tried will power but never gone a full day without a ***.

Last year I had a bit of a heart scare, well a full blown heart attack actually and it scared the hell out of her seeing all the smokers on the oxeygen machines etc on the cardiac ward.

She's been attending New Leaf sessions and took some anti smoking tablets for two weeks before giving up.

Last week she received her non-smoker certificate for being *** free for four weeks. With the money she is saving she has booked a cruise.

The moral is anyone can stop if they want to and there are plenty of ways to do it and lots of support out there if you need it.

Cheers
Lee
