Last night I went to a hypnotist to help me stop smoking. It was the strangest feeling. Today I feel like there's a battle going on in my head with part of it saying it wants a cigarette and the other part asking why. I haven't had one today yet the morning has really dragged. I think this is because I haven't had any breaks. I've also drunk a litre of water so have been peeing all day too! Naomi

my nan wants to pay for me to see a hypnotist to stop smoking, but i know it will be a waste cos im not desperate to give up! xxx

Yeah I think you've got to want it to work.

Good luck with it sweetie!! Let us know how you get on!! :O)

Probably cheaper too Spendy!

Blimey girl getting pregnant was a bit of a drastic step just to stop smoking wasn't it? PMSL!!

right, im going for a fag! xx

I am an extremely controlled smoker! I never smoke in the morning. In fact I don't smoke at all during the day if I'm at work. When I work in the evening (in a pub) I will have my first and only cigarette of the day at 11.30 after I have finished. It's not that I don't want a cigarette it's just that I know as soon as I start smoking during the day (as I have before) I will be fixated on cravings all day! Becx

I thought about that Bec but then I knew I'd end up wishing the day away until I could have one or I'd cheat have it earlier in the day and promise myself I'd not have one later. It just wouldn't work for me. hypnotist was Thursday night, now Sunday morning and so far so good. Out shopping with a smoker friend all day yesterday and not tempted. Feel like I could have one now but no-one around and I can't be bothered to get dressed to go to the shop. Naomi

Well done Naomi. Whatever it takes. I keep banging on about how I gave up but it was 46 years too late. Have stopped for nearly 5 years now but breathing is bad and find I can't walk like I used to. Legacy of all those fags. Keep at it girl and don't give in. You have been 3 days without one now. You can do it. Jean x. P.S. Have just read Lindy in the Algarve's thread on C.O.P.D. Read it and it should be another incentive.

congrats and keep it up. i'm a smoker, i used zyban to help me stop, it worked really well, gave up for 9 months, but the weight came, i couldnt shift it, 2 stone later, very upset i started again, wished i hadnt though, i'm going to give it another shot soon. so keep going with it. good luck. :-)
