7 days free

Well it's been easier than I thought. The shame is that I can't say I wish I had done it before, because I have and failed, but I don't think I will this time (feel free to tell me that's negative thinking, I know that, but I am well aware of my addictive personality too).

This site has been a real help, even just reading other people's posts.

I think as well, even though it was a failure, buying that pack a couple of weeks ago (I am definitely not recommending this process) reinforced that smoking wasn't the answer I was looking for. I just felt like something was missing - and it was smoking, but I didn't want to go back there.

As well, I have wanted to quit for a while, but didn't think I could, so quitting has been on my mind for some time, probably since I took smoking back up after my last quit attempt two years ago! There have not really been many cigarettes that I have kidded myself that I have enjoyed in that period, they all just fulfilled a need that I had created.

But this is the new non-smoking me that doesn't have that need, and realising that smoking doesn't do anything positive at all for me, will never have that need again.
