Its actually surprisingly EASY if you WANT to stop smoking!!
I quit after nearly 23 years of smoking when I found out that I was pregnant. Years and years of my family nagging me, bribing me, beggin me ... always the fear of the "side effects" if I had to quit and the hard headed insistance that I liked smoking and it was my outlet from stress and yabba yabba ...
I was honestly pissed off with myself when I did stop and the truth hit home how much damage I had done to myself and to my relationships for so long and all FOR NOTHING!! There was no cold turkey, no shakes, no cough, no sudden uncontrollable energy, no sudden weight gain, etc. etc. What did happen? Anxiety and stress LEFT!! And the smell of stale smoke and the taste of it became more repulsive than ever. And I suddenly was open to socialising with people that didn't smoke! It was actually annoyingly easy to stay quit! Didn't need Zyban, nicorettes, mouth spray or anything.
I had started reading Alan Carr's book "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" after my sister bought it for me years before. Never finished reading it and didn't read it at the time of quitting but can recommend it for you or anyone trying to quit in that it makes light reading and has some very good inspirational facts to get your mind in the right place, help it be something that you want to do.
