I am going to stop tomorrow.
I have some patches ready.

I am usually pretty good at the begining but kend to slip back into it as if my willpower just disappears.

Any Advice please, apart from the obvious health implications, I'm trying to find other motivation skills to focus on.

I will look into online support forums, anyone know the best one?

If you're still smoking, you obviously don't understand the 'obvious health implications'...

as in, you're going to die.

Some guy might have murdered someone, but, because he doesn't smoke, you'll probably pop your cloggs before he does. How's that for motivation?

I'm not trying to be horrible, I'm TRYING to stop you from killing yourself. I don't care how it sounds, if it works, thats all that matters.

to be honest sunflower, i have experienced my two kids as smokers and their attempts to give up, my eldesy son used the gum starting with bthe 4mg ones for a few months and then the 2mg and he quit, it wasn't easy in one way as it was expensive for him. but he did and he is now alot fitter.
My daughter, well she has no desire to quit but working where she does in a city she can't just grab a cig break now in the day and so she is feeling very stressed and frustrated. I think wanting to stop is a big plus for you, but how you do it is very much down to which way suits you, the pharmacies are apparently offering support and so i suggest you go and discuss your lifestyle and options .

sorry clare that was rude of me, sometimes the truth hurts.

thank you dotty, Ive found another forum for 'stoppers' so i will see how it goes.

the sad thing is i should be able to have sucess from my own willpower, Im a strong person but lack this.

I should have faith in myself :)
