I’ve just had a cancer cut of my toe n I can’t go walking or exercise 🙁

Every time you look into your children's eyes , see their fear. We all cringe at the mention of the big C. They know you lost a piece of your toe and can't but fear what they will lose next. You want motivation....do it for them.

Have you read the short e-book that everyone is recommending? Allan Carr has a logical approach to understanding nicotine and how you feel about it and smoking.

When the cravings kick in we have a remarkable ability to forget the reasons we have for quitting. Influenced by an intense desire for the drug I forget the gasping for breath, the nausea, the worrying about whether I will have enough cigarettes to get me through till I can buy more etc etc. We can all add our own personal reasons to this list.

I would strongly recommend you write a list of your reasons to quit and review it regularly.

Try not to give in to fear; quitting is frightening. We think we are losing an old buddy and that life will never be fun again (Honestly, how much fun is smoking?)

The thing is that fear only leads you back to the cigarettes. This is why I don't believe you can scare a person into quitting. Others may have different opinions on this but the irony is that if I sit and dwell on the scary part of smoking, cancer, clogged airways and so on, it is likely to lead me back to the smokes.

The same can be said for the fear of quitting. For some people this is so strong that they never even try to stop - but they would never admit it was fear that held them back, probably never even identify it as such.

Instead of thinking fearfully try to get excited about quitting. Try to think of it as a new adventure. If you were going to a health resort where you knew they would feed you a tough diet, make you exercise, work on yourself, you would be excited about it nevertheless.

Be objective about your withdrawals; Is it really like open heart surgery without anaesthetic? Or having your leg chopped off?

Isn't it more like a mild cold? In fact if a friend asked you to go to the movies you would not say, "Sorry, I'm too sick from nicotine withdrawals." It is more likely you would go and enjoy the show.

Remind yourself that this is a temporary condition and you never have to go through it again . . . provided you don't smoke.

I hope this helps. These are ideas that have helped me stop and stay stopped.

I wish you well in your new adventure.
