Woohoo! Someone listened to me :oP
Honestly Easyway is such a good way to go, even if you are one of the few the book doesn't help there are the clinics and simply it does a lot to help towards a more realistic view of the problem. It's sad more people don't know about it or aren't as willing to accept the idea to give it a try.
I wish you a hell of a lot of luck, smoking is one hell of a nasty thing, and if you've been smoking for a while it can be really hard to take that step to quitting smoking, so you're brave if nothing else :o)
(((good luck hugs)))
Edit: Funny, you say you were going to use Easyway and then all these people come along and tell you it's hard to quit and you should do X, Y, and Z - a few months you'll be laughing at them for that - not in a melicious way, but for thinking quitting smoking needed to be something hard to do.

I believe in you. It doesn't matter if you've previously failed, put it behind you, the average person trying to quit tries many many times. If you can make it a day, you can make it a week and if you can make it a week you can make it a month and from there it gets way easyer. The hardest part is at the beginning, but don't fool yourself, you'll get urges for a long time. Stay strong. What works for me is working out. I love to run now and I know that if I go back to smoking that will be over. Good luck

I quit (11 months ago) I wasn't a very heavy smoker but I did it for many years. Finally when I moved to this country from South america, I found out cigarettes were so expensive! And I didn't buy any cigarrete else since when. I don't consider myself cured; I think that is the key of my success, I think that I have right to smoke but VERY RARELY... I have smoked two cigarettes since 09/05. I'm doing well. You can do it too.

Angel, you need to say that you can do it, regardless of the support of others. It was only when i took on responsibility and stopped acting like a smoking victim that i was able to quit. It is a horrible drug, the withdrawl, depending on which method you use, can be bad. Then again, you are more likely to fail if have bad expectations. Alan Carr has helped many people stop, again it is positive thinking. I tried Hypnotheraphy after my 8th quit attempt and it worked so much so that i never had any withdrawl and even the idea of it makes me feel sick. This is just my experience, but i know you can do it, more so you need to believe that yourself....Good Luck!

Good for you! Giving it up has soooo many benefits. Your love life will improve for a start, smoking draws blood from the outer layer of your skin, that is why smokers look grey and ashen. You will look and feel more healthy, your clothes and house will not smell of ciggies, Uuurrrgh! I did it with patches, gum, my health centre's support group and sucking Chupa Chups when in moments of stress. Keep out of pubs for a while, avoid coffee and tea, drink herbal tea as a subsitute. If anyone insists on you having a ciggie, take it, screw it up and throw it at them, saying that you have given it up and they should investigate sex and travel. I know you will do it!

I want to wish you all the best with stopping smoking! I stopped when i found out i was pregnant but then i had something to concentrate on so i didn't find it too hard, but when baby was six months old, I ended up starting again and it was the worse thing i ever done! But iv swore that the nxt time i try for a baby then il stop again (i no this isn't really relevant to helping you but i just want you to no that it can be done) it sure as hell wont be easy but it'l be worth it. Try this for an incintive - Each day, put the price of a pk of smokes into a sealed jar (doesnt matter how much you smoke) then at the end of the month, use the money to but yourself something as a 'well done' (My smoke money bought me a pram!)

I absolutely 100% hope you do it - you can and you must. I have recently lost a family member because he was a heavy smoker and believe me you don't want to go through what he did - or put your family through hell.
Just do it and be strong

Yes I will support you all the way. I managed to give up smoking from 40 a day when I got divorced and had 3 teenagers to support. I went cold turkey with my family's support and although it was hard, I have not smoked since 23 February 1986.
Be strong and stick to your resolve. It is worth it, just think of all the goodies you will be able to buy or the fabulous holiday you could have, or the deposit on a car or house etc. with all the money you will save.
If once you have started if you feel like lighting up, send us a question on how we can help you and we will answer straight away with our support.

You can do it! I quit too. I was sad to see that habit go... I thought that it was fun, but -- I traded smoking for exercise. I can't believe how great I feel. If you start exercising you'll feel the difference in your lungs, stamina and over-all muscles as you smoke less and exercise more. I don't know anything about the Alan Carr program but whatever works, do it. (As for me, my doctor said that my blood pressure was getting high and that I could be proactive about it or live a life taking medications -- I got moving and tossed the butts!)
With the money you save (and you will save money) treat yourself to a meal of whatever you crave to eat the most or any sort of "treat" that makes you happy -- its a great way to see the money saved make you feel great in another way (other than cigarettes). Best of luck to you!!!

You have my full support.
I smoked (heavy) for 50 years. I tried to quit many times for other people.Then, one day, I decided to quit for myself. That was over five years ago. I am so happy to have made that decision. I have never felt better and my lungs look and feel great.
Good luck and god bless.
