I think this is what my pal at home is taking just now? She's got it on prescription but her OH has already had it so he has to pay for it this time?

I need something to help me thats for sure!

Not sure if you can get it here?

Thanks

Many moons ago when i was just some curds and whey I used to smoke Player's Number 6 I was caught behind the butter churner one day by Mr. Big Cheese. He made me smoke all 8 that were left in the packet one after another. I never touched another cigarette again.

you are weak and you smell.

get a job and do something with your life apart from lounge around at the 'pool' whoopee ping.

the void of something to do with your life is no doubt adding to your need to kill yourself.....

What can i say? I'm a loser!

Sorry to abody that was giving me moral support :(

Eva please don't be too harsh!

Mrs H

never mind, try again, but from exp you really really have to want to stop and set a date and say thats it. You need to have a lot of moral support. Dont go near smokers if poss for at least a week, no pubs or being with peeps who smoke, and you have to reward yr self for each week you have been off them.

I just wondered if any of you guys smoke? want to stop? or if you did smoke and don't anymore?

I've been reading Allen Carr and i'm on day 2 of no smoking. Yesterday was fine. Mr H was here and we were out and about so it was fine but today i'm by myself and struggling a bit.

I'm determined to stop this time. I'm 32 and i've smoked since i was 13. Thats nearly 20 years of smoking! I'm fed up being reliant on it and it's getting more and more unsociable. Even in Dubai i notice a difference since i got here.

Anyway any advice or tips to maybe make it a bit easier would be great much appreciated!:)

Mrs H

I started smoking when I was 14...Stopped an hour later...

Now I only indulge in stogies...

It's amazing who you bump into when you are outside with a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
