Best wishes Sappho
It won't be easy but the biggest aid is that you have decided to do it.
As a non smoker I have never pressured peeps to quit as most then decide to carry on.... most I know who have conquered tobacco have done so cos they have wanted to do so ... for what ever reason..., and lets face it some peeps that you know and adore pre date tobacco ( just)
every best wish Sappho, and even if you may fail this time, try try and try again.... with your determination you will succeed
Regards

Sappho darling....
You're not going to believe it but, ME TOO!! I'm a regular poster on another forum run by a mate of mine and I put up a similar post. All went well and I quit last Thursday, Friday I did well and quite enjoyed the feeling of being "un-nicotined". Unfortunately I got pretty pissed on red wine and Absynth on Saturday night, bought 10 and haven't been able to completely stop again since....!!
In saying that, maybe the thought that you're going through it too will be an extra wee spur!!!
All the best with it babe!!

Best of luck you two. Been there and done that so know how hard it is. Fred and I have been given up for over 7 years now and although we were not heavy smokers (up to 10 a day) we would never look back.
100% support for you both!!
Hey Bassdude, an emoticon all of your own!!
Sappho darling I could think of many things to occupy your hands!!!
Love

We, your support network, are here for you all the way !
A lad I work with has given up three times in 6 months (!) - work has been easy but it's going out with friends and/or with drink thats made him fail each time !
Go for it, Sappho !

Sappho - you have a PM from me about this....
Fred
XXXXX
Having just read the thread again - will forward a copy to you as well Bassdude. Good luck!
Sappho
I'm sure you have the inner strength to do this.
But you have all my support.
Like gman I am a non smoker but I do understand how difficult this can be. My hubby is - I would like hime to quit even if only for the sake of his future health - but it has to be his decision.
Having already made that decision you are at least half way there.
Big hugs,

That's great news, Sappho, and I wish you every success in it.
I've never been a smoker, so I haven't experienced quitting myself. But I know people who have tried. It's hard. One friend stopped dead - no slow wind-down (does that work?), no patch, no nothing. It lasted about six months, then work got stressful and she started again.
Get all the help you can. I don't know what practical use I could be, but if there's anything at all I can do, I'm here. Anything you need. I care, and I know I'm not alone in that.
It goes without saying (meaning I forgot to say it - oops) that the offer of whatever support I can give goes to Kit and Kat too.
So Kit and Kat and Sappho giving up on same day..... give it 12 hours without the "breath of freash air" Mnday evening could see fireworks ... or as Sappho suggests increased bitchiness.... so will be spending weekend extending the bunker for cold turkey peeps.... maybe a steam room so they have something to inhale.... no matter how nicotineless the vapours are!!!...
best wishes all three
and if you feel like isolation, then the bunker is your place welcome...

Will - you DON'T smoke?? What was in that glass of wine you bought me?
Sorry - abject and profuse apologies sweetheart (and sweetbreath).
So, who was smoking in the car shed then? Just Kit, Kat and Sappho??
*Goes off to cover herself in sackcloth and ashes and to whip herself into a frenzy*
That's a good idea, Kat. I have a suggestion for both Sappho and Kit. But I'm not sure they'll like it (I know, I know. Stop being so insecure, John!)
No, it's not that. Go and wash your dirty minds. (Although if they insisted...)
I have promised both of them a picture of me in a rabbit costume. I further promised Sappho that she'd see it in March. So my proposal - make it to the end of the month, and you shall be rewarded. Or punished. Whichever way you want to see it.
I have given up giving up (at least for now !!), but Sappho, I am sure that you can achieve anything that you put your mind to.
I admire you all for trying to give up and hope you are more successful than I have been in the past.
) and I'm asking for your help and support. Also, if I fail in this then you guys can give me hell.
to everyone for their good wishes. 
:evil2:
Right, postive re-enforcement. Sappho, you need to make sure you get little treats every now and again to make it worth your while giving up cigarettes, and a big one on major milestones. Anyone got any suggestions?
