View Full Version : Smoking!
I have decided to give up smoking! I'm wearing the patches at the moment, it's going ok so far, i had my last fag on Wednesday night, of course i have felt like having one but i just eat a bit of fruit or go and do something to take my mind of it! :)
Have any of you given up smoking by using the patches? If so how long were you on them for before you felt you could live without them?
I hope ive put this in the right place! :D

Hi Daisy, Best of luck with that, i tryed the patches about a month ago i was going good in work didnt have a smoke all day - but i really wanted one i lasted till i got home and then ripped the patch off and lit one up, but i have no will power in any way - i hope you do better than me
Well done on getting this far - i know i couldn't. Haven't tried the patches myself but have tried the chewing gum and the lozengers. I had one lozenger and didn't soke for about 6 weeks it was so disgusting. Chewing gum didn't work actually made me want to smoke more. Keep us posted on how you get on and i might give them a try. Determined to get off them and stay off them by christmas.
Tried and failed - ended up being hypnotised instead last september - cost £120 but I haven't touched on since!!

Really i would pay the money if i tought that would work my Boss is always saying she is going to send me to see one - because im always out side smoking
My friends mum was hypnotised, she says that when the guy was doing it a fire engine was going past the building with the sirens on and now every time she gets the feeling for a smoke she can hear the sirens in her head, and that stops her and makes her think. She hasnt touched one in about 5 years.

Thats Hilarious! :rotfl:
If i could Spare £120, i'd get it done myself! I'm saving up for Spending Money for the Hols! :D
Just after the session, I had a packet of fags in my hand, and the hypnotist asked me to take one out of the packet and asked me what I wanted to do with it - without even thinking, I crushed it and threw the rest of the packet in the bin!!! I had smoked for 14 years and sometimes now, I feel like I have never smoked!
It does still need a small amount of willpower, and you've really got to want to give up, but I would recommend it - I had a 2 hour session, 1 hour counselling about giving up and then the hour being hypnotised.
Thats Hilarious! :rotfl:

Snap oh and they could add in not to put on any weight when you stop :D
The one I went to said he could do that if I was concerned about that side of it!! Wish he had now :rotfl:
You've got me thinking now. I spend about £160 a month on cigs if i get treatment done at the start of the month then i would be able to afford it. Might have a look into that just now.
I'm not paying for my patches! I'm doing the Stop Smoking Scheme through my Chemist and so i get them for FREE! :D

Might have a look into that just now.Just make sure they are registered etc, as I know of some people that have gone to some that aren't and it hasn't worked!

Just had a look at one the sites for a newar by place - it said - Smoking Cessation Hypnotherapy is designed as a 'one session stop smoking technique' Cost £70 per hour
Thats a bit cheap aint it? And yes they are registered.
Lol you can even be hypnotised to pass your driving test it says on here. Wish i would have done that with mine. Had to stop the car about 5 times to get out and walk about cause i was so nervous
Thats about right, cost me £60 per hour.
Does anyone know the name of the book that stops you smoking? I think it was written bu someone called alan grant or something like that. He promises that by the time you reach the last page you wont be a smoker. I've heard that it really does work.
Packing it in the easy way - Allen Carr - 6.39 on Amazon - Is that the one??
Yup sound like it - thanks :D

Hi I Gave up smoking last september i did not use the patches i just chewed normal chewing gum when i felt like haveing a fag. It is hard to give up but it does get easier.
The chewing helped cause i was used to having my tea then sitting down with cupper tea and fag. now its cupper tea then chewing gum..
Good luck to you all
