Truly ruly Iza? That's great! Wishing you the best of luck.
If I have any advice it is to not try to change things to make it easier. For instance I knew a lady that gave up her morning coffee because it made her want a ciggie and instead she had an orange juice.
It doesn't work like that. You have to recondition yourself to not make things hand in hand with smoking. It took a while for me to not be hanging out and reaching for one when I left a shopping centre (still does at times) but you just become conditioned to not make the connection anymore.
It's the same for special occasions and parties. Boy did I miss not getting to sneak outside with the other smokers at a wedding a couple of weeks ago but the benefits are well worth it.

Hi Joono 🙂
Thank you .I've have given up before...a number of times ....just a bit harder this time as my OH isn't ready to join me yet .Hopefully he will be soon.Last time he hid ciggs in the shed for the first few weeks.
I've stocked up on peppermints, am wearing a patch and drinking more water .I always think that it would be easier if I could lock myself away ...though that would make it harder to resist when back in the real world.
I hope that you and everyone else has a great afternoon

Good luck with it Iza, Joono has done it successfully. Drinking water is great for your general health as well.
when my Dad quit smoking cigars, years ago, his car was always full of peppermints
us kids used to nick them :^O
