Well done – you have taken the hardest step!!!

My DH tried unsuccessfully to quite a couple of times, and after smoking for 15years he quite, cold turkey – no patches, no gum, no pills – that was 6 years ago, and he hasn’t touched them since.

How did he do it? Well – he read a book called “How to stop smoking permanently” by Allen Carr. Loads of our friends have quit after reading it as well….so maybe worth a try.

Good Luck!

As for advise, read the Alan Carr's book it is great. Try to think of what you would do when you had a smoke, was it have a cofee, talk on the phone etc. What to do is put something in your hand while doing this to stop you reaching for the smokes. Rubbish all smoking things ashtray, lighters smoking jacket if you had one tomorrow. Call quitline and get the pack from them it has some helpful stuff in it.

Best of Luck with it, I found the first few days hard but once you get over them you will feel so much better. Also don't worry if a few days after you stop you get a cold and hack up phlem its a good sign things are clearing out.
