Mummatotwo, well done for attempting to quit, it is a hard road and I am sure you will have your ups and downs but you can succeed.

Firstly do not beat yourself up over this, if you are anything like I was I smoked because I was stressed, then stressed because I smoked, hence lighting another. Vicious circle.

The way I quit was to make some rules ( I was a pack a day girl), firstly no more smoking in the car. Which eliminated at least 5 cigarettes a day. It took about a week to "get over the loss" of these cigarettes, then I eliminated cigarettes on the weekend, I then allowed myself 5 a day (cutting me down to a pack a week) then I would only allow myself to smoke half of the cigarette, by that time I had pretty much decided I did not need them anymore.

I did try numerous ways to quit but I found this is what worked.

Good luck
