help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more
I HAVE to stop smoking….please help me?
I am 33. Have 2 children 6 and 3….and am expecting our third. Am 7 weeks gone.
I stopped for 5 years and then my Grandfather became terminally ill. I cared for him 24/7 for the last 4 mths of his life and didn’t smoke and when he died on Boxing Day last year I started again….little by little…it’s built up and for the last 3 days I have had 2 a day but for the week before that I went up to 10 a day.
I don’t want to smoke but I can’t lie and say I don’t enjoy it. I don’t like everything that goes with it though…the smell, the taste, the secrecy, the guilt, the fear etc etc.
I have been trying to stop for 3 months and got an Inhalator from the docs but it’s not the same.
This morning I reached breaking point and promised my husband that ‘on our childrens life’ that was my last cigarette and then this evening I have had 2 half cigarettes.
I am devestated and afraid.
I know it’s about will power and the ‘want’ to stop and I know it is only me that can do it but I’m frightened I can’t.
Any help and advice that helped you to stop, anything at all, I would massively appreciate.
Please, I am desperate
Thanks Bx

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again
I’m 61 & smoked 46 years & am now late stage emphysema. I’m pretty much confined indoors close to nebulizer & oxygen. I am only barely existing, not living. I only have a 10-year old, 3-4 pound dog left & had to find homes for my beloved cockatiels. If I had experienced this for so much as just a few days years ago, I would have quit cold turkey right then and there. I can’t begin to tell you how painful emphysema is — both physically and emotionally. Medications (inhalers, oxygen, pain pills, antibiotics, etc.) are very expensive even with good health insurance). My 4-legged "baby" will most likely outlive me and I’m scared to death for her because there will be no one for her. Imagine that for your children. Imagine your throat swelling closed, can’t cough, can’t blow your nose, chest congestion; imagine needing to pee but not being able to get up to go. I frequently just sit & cry. I didn’t voluntarily quit smoking — I just plain wasn’t able to smoke. My last cigarette was 1815 hours on 11 November 2010 and it’s too late for me. Don’t let it happen to you and those you love.
No one can help you stop. We’ve seen kids on here begging for help to get their parents to stop smoking because they have asthma or bronchitis all the time. They beg their parents too. I’ve suggested that they move in with a relative. Because there is really nothing that can make you stop unless you just decide to do it. I know, easy for me to say. But no use asking on here. Try reading some of the kids begging for help for their parents. Maybe someday your children will be on here too and I’ll suggest "go to your grandmas house or or aunts house to live.
