Re: Tomorrow is the day


Looks like you're going about it the right way Jac.
Way to go!

Thinking of quitting smoking? Well cease thinking and just stop now.
That is the advice from experts.
Studies show that deciding to quit smoking on the spur of the moment may prove more successful than making detailed plans in advance.
Research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that unplanned attempts to stop smoking are more likely to work than meticulously planned strategies.
Almost 2,000 smokers and ex-smokers were asked about their attempts to quit the tobacco habit by researchers at University College London.

Nearly half of their attempts to stop were found to be spontaneous - and these were also the most successful.
The survey, funded by Cancer Research UK, found that 65% of unplanned attempts had succeeded for at least six months.
That compared with fewer than half (45%) of those who made plans to quit.
Professor Robert West, director of tobacco studies at UCL, said: "The results do not mean that we should tell everyone to stop without planning ahead.
"But they do tell us something about the state of mind of the smoker who wants to quit.
"Dissatisfaction with being a smoker creates a kind of tension. Then, when that tension is high, even quite a small trigger makes the smoker decide that the time has come to stop."
