I had been smoking for about fifty years and have attempted in the past to quit without much success. I joined this group based at the St.Johns Health Centre six weeks ago, although through sheer will power I had not smoked for two weeks previous. It was when I saw the price of the gum and other aids that I decided to contact them, because the patches, gum and the other stuff is free on the NHS.
The thought of joining a group was a bit strange, but what the hell, we are all in the same boat. It did help though and some of the comments and other people’s ways of coping without the weed were funny. There were members on their last week or two, so they left and new people came along. I finished my six weeks so will miss the group. If you are serious about quitting then this is well worth trying. Let me just say that you really must a good reason for stopping, mine was a hacking cough. The money you save must be an incentive. Look at this way. One pack of twenty, nearly six quid now, that’s £42.00 a week, that’s £2000 a year. What a holiday you could have with that.
People in the group put their cash in a jar and relished counting their money. I personally couldn’t see the point; I just know there’s more money in my bank account.
GO FOR IT.  If you have kids you owe it to them, at least.

Good Luck
