    This is an accountability post. I’ve decided it’s time to give up the smokes so I have a plan set. I’ve joined My fitness pal because I don’t want to substitute smokes for food, nicotine patches, vapes etc. Im incorporating more exercise as a distraction. This is an experiment. 10 smokes a day for a week. 9 the week after. 8 the week after etc. I should be smoke free in 10 weeks or in jail because I’ve killed someone. I can do this because I am strong and stubborn.

      You can do it, and that sounds like an excellent plan. I quit by gradually going down in strength, and when I got to the really low ones they were so disgusting I just stopped.

      Congratulations on making an awesome decision for your health! Cutting down with a view to quitting is a great idea. It worked for me anyway. I got down to 6 a day and then quit. I worked out it was taking 10mins to smoke a cigarette so I was wasting an hour a day smoking and complaining that I didn’t have time to do this or that. I also used lozenges and the spray.

        If it doesn’t work then I’ll try something else but I’ve gotta give it a go.
