Hi I have just stopped and I also don't have that much support which is hard you have to self talk all the time.T. He reason I don't is that I have been I sneaky smoker really...smoke a lot more than people know and my husband thinks I have stopped. I am really sick of smoking what it is doing to me stinking of the stuff ,such an ordeal to have one cover up the smelllhide the butts etc. I have A few strategies...like I will work more I love my job and don't smoke there although it is stressful at times and I want one when I finish.I just have to keep busy.If I am around family I just don't smoke anyway. Wehave lots of social things coming up,that's ok my husband is there I won't smoke but I have a full day out paid by my smoking girlfriend coming up she is not supportive come on just have one....I am thinking I will just walk away when she lights up shove some chewing gum in my mouth.
I have got a terrible cold at the moment which helps me notto smoke. I am going cold turkey as the patches make me feel sick ,I stop a lot like three weeksat atone then start up again this time I am going to stop for good.
Keep cutting down changing habits it is a powerful mind battle . Get Allen Carrs book even if you don't go cold turkey it is a very helpful book to keep you motivated.
