You need to actually consider your motivations! I think this principle applies to more than just smoking- the same can go for weight loss, and all sorts of other life decisions.

The nearest I came to succeeding was with a GP prescription for zyban. Unfortunately I think i'm one of those people to whom support would make no difference. The support isnt there for me 1st thing in the morning to help me resist, nor is it there after each meal/stressful occasion. I'm glad it works for some people but for me i think the only solution left is to be locked alone in room for 2 weeks!! :o( <em>claire @ wheatgrass juice's last blog post..<a href='http://www.naturallygreen.co.uk/blog/acne/adult-acne-treatment/' rel="nofollow">Adult Acne Treatment</a></em> I have tried to give up smoking sooooo many times its just not funny any more!!
