Just wanted to say that with the help of the 4mg nicorrette chewing gums, i haven't had a ciggarette for exactly 30 hours and 15 mins.
I've been smoking for 33 years, and have recently been told by my doctor that i have bad circulation in my legs and hands and have been put on medication as i'm getting bad pains. Also the last few days whenever i smoke i've been getting pressure in the centre of my chest and through to my back, and the whole of my rib cage, front and back hurts when i breathe in..which really scared me.
With the help of nicorette, i managed to stop for 3 years in my late twenties so i know that i can do it..but i also remember how hard it was especially at the beginning.
Wish me luck,
Aura




Good luck Aura, you can do it with strength and support from your friends both at home and here on HP. We are all here to support you. If it all gets too much, just think of the money you will save.

Hi Aura,
Well done and wishing all the luck in the world. I gave up in August by reading a book by Alan Carr - 'Easyway to give up smoking', which looks at it from a different perspective, as i have in the past tried various ways but they did not work for me. But i haven't looked back since, so keep up the good work.[sm=1syellow1.gif]




Well done Aura, you should be really proud of yourself, keep up the good work:)




Well done Aura, Take each day one at a time & soon you'll notice that the weeks have gone by then the months ect.. Keep it up, you're doing great :D




Thankyou all for your kind and encouraging words.
Still not smoking...i'm doing good, just occassionally i feel like somethings really missing. It sweeps over me now and again, but i'm determined as i have family who depend so much on me.
