At first it may feel overwhelming to think about stopping. Don’t waste time feeling guilty about the past. Think about the future.
- First of all you need to make the decision that you really want to stop. Only you know if you are ready to quit.
- Then get all the help and support you need to give up.
- You can do it! You are not alone.
- There are lots of options to try. If the first time didn’t work for you try something else and get support at the same time.
The most important time to stop is when you are ready. Think about your personal reasons you have for quitting. It could be that your motivation comes from your family, to be a good role model for children or grandchildren? To be able to be more active? To have more money to spend on other things?
