I give it up for about 18 months 13 years ago and then went back on them due to not being able to cope with stuff happening in my personal life....still on them.
Just treat it as a slight set back Kat, it is not easy but if you have your gotten your mind around it that you want to give up.... you are nearly there..

I'm blaming the stress too.!!!

Yes stress can get you back on them very easy but just take a step back and think about the stress, ask yourself is the stress worth going back on those things...the answer you will find is NO

Hey all,

Before I start, this is for encouragement only - I'm not trying to scare anyone . . . . .

Some of you may know that I recently had to travel back to England. Long story short, my step-mum has very advanced small-cell lung cancer. This type is very aggressive, and therefore the survival rate is very low. A high percentage of cases are caused by smoking, and she has smoked from being young.
She turned 51 in April, just a month after she was diagnosed, and told that she had just 2 months without chemotherapy or 9 months with chemo. She agreed to the chemo and it started straight away, however after 4 sessions the tests showed that it was not successful, so they stopped it, and began the palliative care to make her comfortable.
She is now at home, she has good days and bad days, but still trying to fight it (she's Scottish so won't go down without a fight). She spends 20-22 hours a day on oxygen. She's on ever increasing doses of numerous drugs including morphine. She is unable to walk far, so sleeps in the lounge and walking to the front door is exhausting for her. She is only awake for an hour or two before needing to sleep again. She may not see the birth of her next grandchild, due in a few weeks.

Please take this as encouragement to quit smoking - don't risk going through this. It's a horrible disease and watching my family go through this is very hard.

And my step-mums biggest regret was never quitting smoking, before it got too late . . . . .

Good luck all - you have lots of support x
