Having tried so many times via Fresh Start, patches, Champix etc: I've decided to go cold turkey. Alan Carr and chocolate are my only props.
1 week in and feeling good! £25 saved so far. Anyone else out there giving up? |

Have you download an app? It tells you how healthy you get, how much you save etc.
I used to look at it every time a wanted a cigarette and killed the urge. I gave up cold turkey too. Now a year and 4 months and don't even want them now .
Keep it up cold |

"Thank you.
I gave up for 2 years when my daughter was born, but somehow drifted back.
This time I'm serious! Good luck to you too."
To OP stick to it, I quit a 40 to 50 aday habbit nearly 5 years ago now, and like the poster I quoted my daughter was my reason.  |

Cold turkey is definitely the best way! Why try and slowly feed yourself the thing you are addicted to to give up, rather counter intuitive I find.
I managed 6 weeks last year, I will beat it soon! Alan Carr has some useful theories in it to get your head around quitting.
Good luck! |

Good luck to all and thanks for the comments.
I've just downloaded "Cessation Nation" on the recommendation of another poster. It looks really useful. |
