[QUOTE="Natalie1974, post: 875122, member: 134746"] It's never going to be easy. Although having said that...I did it a few years back using hypnotherapy and found it fairly easy if I'm honest...the day after I gave up I found myself standing in a pub drinking a glass of wine and surrounded by people smoking and I didn't even flinch. Difference is that I wanted to do it then...at the minute I feel a bit bullied which is never a good reason to do it...if anything it makes me want to smoke more...must be my rebellious streak lol. I do have another reason though...I spoke to a diabetic friend of mine last week in an attempt to get her to come along to the meet in London in a couple of weeks time...she had to decline as she was recovering from a toe amputation...despite knowing that she gave up many years ago and is a fair bit older than me etc etc...it put the fear of god into me...and I know this is a very real smoking related complication that I'd really love to avoid...I'd never realised how fond I am of my toes until now lol. If it's not too personal a question...what was it that finally forced you into making the decision to give up? [/QUOTE]
