I gave up smoking 4 days ago
it is hard going but after 20 years I decided now was the right time for me to stop.
There have been some wonderful comments on here about people stopping - I wish it was that easy. Nicotene is one of the most addictive drugs in the world so it is no easy task to just give up. I am wearing patches and using an inhalator but it is still hard going.
You have to be really ready to stop to succeed - I am using every support available including smoking cessation group and family support and encouragment. That said who knows what tomorrow will bring so I am taking it one day at a time as a current non smoker!!
