[QUOTE="Robinredbreast, post: 868779, member: 44643"] Hi, I smoked for many, many years, then 5 years ago, I just stopped. Then I went to my Gp for help, went to a clinic, which was a great help and patches. The first week was, tbh, hell, I was clutching my tea cup with such force I thought I might break it lol. The best thing was my teen, who was then 9 years old, then she supported me so much with lots of encouragement and she drew pictures, with quotes saying 'keep going mum, you're do so well, so proud of you' that really hit home:D. After a week, it did get a little easier and I haven't touched one since, tbh, I can't even stand the smell :yuck: But.................. it's down to the individual to want to give up, with sheers guts, will power and lots of determination, it can be done. I saved up the cigarette money and redecorated my daughters bedroom and a new carpet too, not smelling like an ashtray, and the health benefits are tremendous. To anyone out there who wants to give up, you really can do it :) Best wishes RRB [/QUOTE]
