We all have been in your situation @susie14… ambivalent about smoking, ambivalent about quitting. Don’t give up. Apart from the health benefits, when you quit you gain such a powerful sense of freedom - freedom from hiding, freedom from shame, freedom from all of the complexities it takes to manage an active addiction. Our nicotine-addled brain focuses on what we’ll lose when we quit. But there is so much we GAIN, too. There’s a big dose of bright and beautiful freedom waiting for you with your name on it, dear. Come and get it any time!6 points

Thanks everyone. I feel better reading what you have all said and it makes me more determined to keep trying. A few times in the last year I felt like it was too hard and maybe I've already hurt myself so what's the point. But I know that's not true and I have to stay positive. I didn't realize what you said @intoxicated yoda about the scientists making the tobacco plants more addictive. It's crazy they were allowed to do that! I am going to do this!6 points

Take a leap of faith and believe that you will succeed. Attitude will make quitting much easier. Your body can heal itself from much of the damage that smoking causes; that's a positive thought that helped me.6 points

@susie14quitting is a hard row to hoe, no doubt, but you can do it. before you beat yourself up to bad for a few failed attempts remember that scientists spent decades hybridizing tobacco plants to make them more addictive. They spent decades tweaking their formulas for chemical additives to make them more addictive. The advertising is done to make them psychologically more addictive. I myself spent a decade or more trying to convince myself to quit before I actually did. Don't be me and wait that long because it won't get any easier. The least amount of pain you will endure is to quit now. The longer you wait the harder it gets.6 points

Yes the treats were great, even a day of not smoking is a tidy sum, over £10 for me,. Over £70 for the week, and around £300 for the month. I enjoyed spending it on little or big luxuries, things I wouldn’t have bought if I smoked. I liked all the extra money in my purse too, and not going to the cash machine for yet another withdrawal for you what ! i also liked getting my headphones on and listening to hypnotherapy and relaxation sounds on YouTube. chilling out is crucial when you first quit, as it can make you feel agitated. honestly when you get into it, you get a buzz for it , to get through another day smokefree, becomes addictive go for it5 points
