I get that feeling too Penitent.
Anyway, I hope not to have to have the personal dilemma about the meter - even though I only have a paltry sum at risk - compared tyou old timers.

I shouldn't let Mr Ed's sensibilities stop you from re-mounting the horse! Camels are too high and can have a nasty bite.
Keep in touch. Wouldn't be the same without you.

Imagine your dentist's surpise and pleasure when you turn up next time with breath as fresh as a daisy. Hope today went well.
Why wait till July 1st. Buck the trend. Do It Now.

I accidentally parked without pre-paying and got a �30 ticket. Then had to beg and plead with the manager of the supermarket to be let off. Just stopped myself bursting into tears but MOST IMPORTANT didn't smoke. AND THE TOBACCO KIOSK WAS JUST THERE BESIDE US.

Of course, all those patio heaters are contributing to global warming at an alarming rate so maybe they won't be around for too long.
I'm looking forward to July here in England now where once I was deading it because I was anxious about how I would cope with the ban and now I don't have to worry.

How kind of you all. Did I really reach 40 days?
The beach feels a long way off with some rocky encounters on the way but I'm looking forward to it immensly.

SammiJo. It is the awful exhaustion that you feel after such a confrontation that weakens you and you so easily let your guard down and some part of you probably wanted to exercise some power over 'them' and have a damned cigarette!!
But you had the last laugh and showed the greater power by realising what folly it would be and not giving in.
I hope things are resolved now and when you think back on that awful day you can congratulate yourself for your resolve in NOT doing the easy thing and stopping to feed the addiction.
Well done.

Hello and welcome MaMa.G
As others have said, there is no one right way. I went cold turkey because I just wanted to do it there and then and not keep putting nicotine into my body. Whatever you do it is hard but this site is great because - if nothing else - you can come on here and read and post and that soon takes up a load of time when you might have been smoking!
You'll find all sorts of stories and exeriences here. Some you will identify with and others not but I guarantee that if you keep reading time will tick by day by day and suddenly you'll be amazed at the stats building up at the bottom of your posts.
Good luck.
Gen :)
