How I did it:  So I need to take a step back and have a look at my life.  I don't ever ever ever wanna be that ill again, smoking is only bad for you, it can only lead to sh*t. I have enough problems so I can tick this one off my list. No heart attacks for me please.
I have tried for ages to stop but evidently having a reality check has helped me out on this one.
Its really scared me. Like really badly. I looked at a packet of ciggarettes and just kinda saw a packet of death. And I found out that I had bronchitis as a very small child and I had croup where i couldnt breathe and i remember being terrified hen i woke up one night and couldnt breathe and i actually thought i was going to die. So in a nutshell im not going to smoke becaus its going to make me ill - ill which can be avoided and dying a horrible painful cancer filled death is not for me. Im scared. Think about it people.

Lessons & tips: You will only give up when youre ready. Ive had a proper shock today and thats done it for me. Go to a hospital and visit some one with a deadly illness like cancer. Then maybe it will hit home that smokers are giving death a warm welcome.

Resources: My doctor..the NHS smoking service too.
