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 asked for help and advice….not out and out abuse.
You can see that I am asking for help. You know nothing about me….for the record I have a !st from Cambridge UK.
I am not ignorant about the second hand smoke issue. I am very concious of it. I smoke outside when it will be at least 2 and a half hours before I see my ‘born’ children again so that the toxins I have been breathing out will have dimished. After have had a cigerette, I put the clothes that I have been wearing straight into the wash inc underwear. I wash my hair and hands with a scubbing brush which makes my fingers bleed. I am not a selfish person. I am a person who has been through a personal tragedy that put me back on that road.
Stop with the insults and vile comments.
Constructive critisim is welcome but not abuse….I will report it.
I can’t give thumbs up or down but have reported 2 of you for abusive content and want to thank the three of you who have given me advice and constructive criticism Bx
The Emrod: You are totally right. Thank you 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’ll chip in with a couple of other thoughts:
1) Be willing to give up the things you want NOW for the things you want the MOST. That is, smoking a cigarette feels good now, but more than feeling good now, I want a healthy baby. It may help to put something to remind you of the thing you want the most with your cigarettes.
2) It’s NEVER too late to start over. In other words, if temptation gets the best of you, don’t give in to feelings of failure. Go back to being a non-smoker! Don’t let failure weaken your resolve to kick the habit.
Finally, you might find someone to be accountable to. That may be your husband, it may not, but it somebody who you know wants the best for you and is willing to get in your face to make sure that you get it.
Good Luck!
Its very good you are thinking about this.
How about getting some professional help.
You sound very passionate about stop.
You can get some nicoteen patches from any pharmacy to let go gradually.
Good luck
XD
get one of those electronic ones.
they taste good
have no smell
its water vapor
saves you tons of money,
you can do it anywhere
its completely safe
still gives u the nicotine but otherwise healthier than cigarettes
I stopped by not buying them anymore… it sucked for a while but in the long run you know it is what you need to do.. this is going to be harsh but you need to hear it…
GROW UP STOP BEING SELFISH and do what you have to do! it is not just about you its about your family!
I hate to be the blunt one here but here it is.
You are either
a) ignorant on what 2nd hand smoke does to your children, born and unborn
b) don’t care enough about them to exert your willpower.
The only thing stopping you from smoking is you.
Stop smoking, your children’s LIVES depend on it.
Just picture yourself lying in a hospital somewhere with tubes running everywhere trying to help you breathe…and you’re apologizing to your husband and children for being so stupid for smoking and not being able to quit until it was too late. Just picture that!
If that doesn’t help you quit…nothing will! Good luck! YOU CA DO IT!!! 
OK – all the flim flam aside, you giving up boils down to one fact. Stop doing it! Only YOU are smoking, nobody is forcing you.
1. Stop buying them.
There is no number 2. Willpower, dear.
