Need inspiration to try again
I have only just got back on the site looking for inspiration to give myself another go and so many of your stories have really been inspirational. I've taken members advice and started reading Joel Spitzer and have read Allen Carr already but think I should give it another go as I've heard it can take a couple of trys for it to sink in. I quit for about two weeks earlier in the year for the first time and am desperate to get in the right head space to try again. I'm worried because coming up to silly season might be the wrong time to try but then when is a good time really? I have in mind to quit the day after my birthday party which is in 3 weeks time as I'd love to not spend another year of my life as a smoker ...
U can do it! We can all quit. My advice is to use as much support as is available to you and just keep trying until u feel u have succeeded. Realistically if u don't stop smoking you will smoke for the rest of your life. Thinking about that helps me to not want to smoke lol.
I'm thinking the same thing alot as well ... there is no "right" time dr feelgood. I think the fear of failure stops me from trying but like you say Amyy its good to know that you just keep on trying it will work. You are so right, if I don't stop then I will smoke for the rest of my life ... that thought scares me as I always knew I would quit one day ... and that goes back to why wait ... just do it now. How did you guys do it ? cold turkey?
Jas I have been smoking on and off for 5 years after 15 years as a non-smoker. I would recommend the Champix tablets, for me they have been great, and I have been off for a week now and not even wanting one. Also set a date and stick to it. I was bit like you - kept finding reasons to put it off as there was a party or christmas coming up, so there never is a perfect time - just one that is right for you. Good luck, you can do it.
The only thing stopping people from success is the start!! Today is a good day. Put that crap out!
