I gave up smoking 4 months ago. I'd been smoking since early teens and conventional methods, patches/willpower/eating more, wasn't working.

I had two session at a hypnotist and completely stopped smoking the day after with no cravings at all. seriously. it cost £70 for the treatment and I made that back through not buying ciggies in just over a week :01:

Yeah, 2 packs a day. The hypnotist made me realise that I&#39;d convinced myself that I couldnt concentrate in work without a cigarette in my hand.

As much as medics talk about nicotine dependency, from my experience it seems to be all in the mind.

Well done, I&#39;m glad it went well and I really hope that you stick with it.

I smoked for about 20 years (roll-ups most of the time), then stopped about 6 years ago. I used the nicotine gum to help out, started with the strong for a week, then worked my way down the strength.

[manker]

Thanks J&#39;Pol, you too Dave. I definitely feel a lot better for it :D

[TheRealDave]

Good man, that is by far the best way.

[SillyRumours]

my Dad tried and failed twice at quitting the smoke, he finally quit when he lost his job and couldn&#39;t afford the habit anymore

Im not exactly at that stage, might be an idea to stop........

But then again a cigarette is enjoyable sometimes....If you can stop smoking when you are drinking youve cracked it. Fuck i smoke like a train when im off my head

[JONNO_CELEBS]

An electric train does&#39;nt smoke :unsure:

Sorry guys I completely forgot I was supposed to be giving up, stressful day so smoked a couple :ph34r:

Will let you know what I cough up 2morrow, as Sunny would say "I&#39;ll take a pic if it looks cool" :lol:

I&#39;ll start cutting down 2morrow :)
