    Took me three attempts. Pesonlly I belive it's a timeing thing. Not too sure if I mentioned the breathing thing. I believe the key to giving up is learning how to manage the stress. PM if any advice is needed.

    You've actually got to want to stop smoking. Nobody can tell you to. Of course, other people giving you smokes doesn't help... and coming from a family of smokers doesn't help either...

    I'm into Day 3 for the second time around, and I have to say I pity poor Dan. All my stress has been taken out on him. Think I'm pretty lucky that he loves me.

    I'm avoiding any alcohol has that just starts cravings, so will see how that lasts.

    Good on you i was wondering after seeing you on the weekend how you were going.

    A mate of mine Rob (not RobertyDog) has given up recently, and he won't drink alcohol at all because he gets that same trigger.

    Good on you for giving it another go

    Dunno if this has been mentioned because i skipped from the start 2 the end of this thread, but me and my missus and 90% of our friends gave up (after many years and failed attemts) after reading Allan Carr's Easy Way to Give Up Smoking book. Its amazing you don't even miss cigs or have cravings, and it actually works. If you are serious about quitting for life then go on Tardme and buy it, it will pay for itself in a week!

    Preach over and good luck

    I smoked 20-25 a day for 12 years, gave up (cold turkey) when babies started appearing in the house.

    I struggled through the first few days, and hit the wall at day four from memory. Sitting in the work smoko-room (it was a "smoko" room back then), overwhelmed with cravings, I talked to a colleague who had given up smoking a couple of years previously. I asked him when the cravings started to ease off, and he gave me advice that I've carried to this day.

    "Quiting smoking is 90% psychological." he reckoned. "You need to draw a line in the sand. When you make that firm commitment to yourself that you are NOT going to smoke again, the cravings will ease."

    I went away and had a quiet few moments to myself. I made the commitment. I was not going to "try to give up" - I was NOT going to smoke again. Straight away, the cravings eased.

    Over 20 years smoke-free now.

    It ain't easy, but hang in there. Make the commitment - it's worth it.
