I think this is the 4th serious attempt now, but I genuinely plan to stick to this one, thus writing a daily blog I think would help me actually follow it through, feeling obligated to write my progress n that.

I'm doing it for health reasons this time, as I'm started to actually feel my health deteriorating. And new years just seems the best time to do it.

Day 1 has been ok so far actually. I have the patches and the gum which are doing more than I thought they would. The hardest part has been breaking the routine of going out for a cigarette (ie making a cup of tea, having a smoke while leaving it to brew or taking a break from a game to have a smoke)

Roll on day 2 & 3!

GIVE ME SUPPORT EVERYONE (and I will ignore everyone telling me patches and gum are placebos)

Good luck mate !!!

I know what you mean about the routine, I'm not a smoker my self, but I have a few friends who find that the biggest problem.

I look forward to your updates Wink

First 2/3 weeks are the hardest, after that it's just breaking the routine. Chewing gum (keep packs everywhere, I have 1 pack in the car, 1 at the computer, 1 at work and I usually have a pack in my jacket) and drinking strong black coffee are 2 other things that really helped me.

Oh and good luck.

I know you look up to me Tommy, so whenever you think of smoking, just think to yourself. "Would Brahms smoke in this situation?"

The answer is probably not, unless he thought it'd make him look reaaaaaaaaaaally cool.

Good luck with that buddy, but may I suggest gradually cutting down rather than outright stopping?

Know a lot of people who go for the gradual method, slowly chopping 1 or so a day until they're at a much lower level or stopped outright, just makes the transition easier from what I hear.

I only smoke with a drink, and have done for about 5 years, I don't really feel the need to stop as quite frankly I enjoy it. I keep suggesting this to my sister though, as she's been trying to quit outright for years and it never works. Just wish she'd try this method.

Maybe try thinking about your own death all the time? Could be a good motivator.

"Would Brahms smoke in this situation?"
Post depressing things in the shoutbox?

@hawt: Cutting down wouldn't work, the temptation of having cigarettes would mean I'd just smoke them when I wanted, and I'd still be buying them which would defeat the point

I would genuinely love to see a monthly breakdown for the quantity of smoking cessation devices sold in a year.

I'd imagine there would be a colossal peak around January which slowly trails off.

Friend of mine stopped cold turkey.  No patches/gum any of that stuff.  He said watching his grandfather die hideously of lung cancer helped him kick it.  That and furious masturbation.  He only recommends the latter.

In 6 months, he went from a wheezing shit bag, to running the Great North Run.  Get that shit done Tommy.
