i want to quit

Posted in Getting started
schedule 16 Jan 2012

So ive decided that I want to quit smoking. And im not entirely sure how to start. My fiance doesnt want to quit and im all alone on this journey. Been thinking about it for a long time but thought it would be really hard as my fiance is a heavy smoker also... Went to work the other day (no-one else smokes and dont even know i smoke) and realised im hiding being a smoker and im obviously embarassed by it so why do it! Then found out a friends dad passed away quickly due to catching neumonia - although he hasnt been a smoker for 20 years this contributed to his sudden passing away - freaked me out as he couldnt be saved. Also getting married in a few months and im constantly complaining about money but im easily spending $13 a day... thats money that could be saved to buy a house.. anyway ive set my quit day for next week. wish me luck.. any tips or suggestions would be much appreciated. dont know which way to go about it. have had previous travel jobs where i didnt smoke for 2 weeks at a time and that was less than 6 months ago - and i didnt have a problem doing it then... so why do i find it hard when  im at home??

That's right. You are not alone. Just think how much better your skin will look in your wedding photos. You will be radiant!

I have tried cham pix twice, patches, gum, acupuncture, hypnosis, laser and cold turkey. Ct has given me the longest result 9 months went to a funeral of someone who died of lung cancer would u believe and started again! What an idiot. Anyway on day 16 now cold turkey am determined this time have two beautiful grand babies now. If u can do 2 weeks u will succeed -just stay away from triggers for a month or so and ask your fiancé to stop smoking around u. Good luck
