keep it up Jas... i stopped in January and havnt touched one since.. and you know how much i used to smoke!!

i went to the nhs center and had my cm levels checked... saw how quick they went down.. kinda helped, also read a book by Alan Carr called the easy way... really helped too, havnt touched one since, and have no desire to either!

the habit ones were the hardest, like after i had eaten, so replaced the *** with an apple, and that was the trigger to say dinner was finished, rather than the *** as it used to be!!!

stick with it.. it gets easier as you know.. u did well last time


take care boss

Maria
xxxxxx

 

Thanks everyone
I'm still going strong, haven't even wanted one for more than a minute so far. Bloody hell if Maria can give up then so can I.
Sue nice to hear from you also.
Had a look at those pictures from an earlier post and they are scary stuff. That has helped.

Jas.

 

sideways,

I gave up about 3 years ago in australia. (only because the **** there suck!)

I use nicotine gum to help the cravings.. i found it really good, and didn't really need to go through the procedure of cutting down the gum every few weeks, caus it's fecking desgusting to chew, and you get fed up with it after a while!

I suppose it helps that the gum's a bit rank, as your body gets used to the cravings resulting in chewing something disgusting!

I've never looked back. Had a *** at an office party, but it nearly made me sick. Oh, and the odd `herbal` as well, but it was hardly any tobacco so it doesn't count

 

Still quit.
Can I be smug to smokers yet Lol

Jas

 

Have never smoked but have been near people who have gone through the giving up process.

Big thumbs up to you for sticking with it.

 

LOL - he's only managed three days! Give him a thumbs up when he reaches the end of his first non-smoking month!!!

 

Oi Mark I was basking in the glory of being a non smoker lol

Feel fine apart from a snotty nose.
Have incentive, mate has given up for 28 days now without telling anyone and my "If he can do it I can do it" mentality has kicked in lol.

Jas

 

Each day is a day more of being a non-smoker.

 

Good luck Jason, Stick with it my friend

from a non smoker = smug

Andy

 

Cheers Andy

 

well i think im in to my third week now, went straight to cold turkey.

worst things ive found so far is im always feeling nibbly.
i get mad quicker and more violently (dont mean hitting anything, i mean throwing things etc).

Other than that its been fine

 

patches, buy patches: stick them over your eyes & you'll be unable to find your tabs.

 

Damn, that took a few minutes to read thru this...

I'll go smoke a cigarette now, see you guys later

 

Ahh, just been on the balcony lookin at the sea, smokin a cigarette

There's something relaxing about smoking, I find.

I also blow a few rings, I can do 5 in a row LOL

Good luck giving up

 

YOU SLAVES TO NICOTINE

Day 5 and still in control lol
It seems to be getting harder though as I really fancy on at the moment but I know its wrong

Jas

 

I'll buy you a pint or two if you manage to stay clean till at least Sunday lunch time

 

Well done Ja, keep it up

Cheers Phill C

 

Zyban - Fantastic. I took an 8 week course 22 months ago and haven't smoked since : :

 

I tried Zyban and it made me ill. A mate I know took up serious mastabation and thought that helped

Cheers Phill C

 

Also - I decided that if I stopped smoking that would save me say £4.00 a day
£28.00 a week rounded up to £30.00 a week
£120.00 a month.

So I had £120.00 a month spare !
sold the Pug Xsi - cleared loan of £200+ per month
left me with £320 per month

What did I buy with the moola ?????

Oh yes

she rides

Scooby MY99

All down to kicking the weed. Good job cos with the amount I'm spending on Juice I can't afford to smoke now :

 

Thing about the 5 finger shuffle is that it could get you into a bit of bother at the local restaurant, or nipping out to the front gates at work to knock one off the wrist.

Having said that there are a few w a n k e r s around who might chill out for having a word with Pam and her five sisters

LOL

 

LOL didn't think about that......Lol driving around throwing one from the wrist could be a little dodgy to say the least

Cheers Phill C

 

STOP !!!

This is my serious thread about stopping smoking not knocking one out so pi55 off to the muppets with your ****.


Jas

PS NO I'm not getting ratty

 

Lol,

Someones tired

Cheers Phill C

 

Lol no I'm not just a midgy moo cause I want a puff and haven't any nibbles.
Nearly sold car today and got a P1 but thought better of it lol

Jas

 

Just got a big bag of fudge lol

 

I gave up in April. Can't remember the exact date but it was a Sunday and decided not to buy another pack when I ran out. Setting goals and recording the time adds pressure I think, like giving up at New Year, that is so difficult. Had patches for a week (they're more expensive than the ****) and avoided smoking environments, eg pubs and going out for meals. If you drive to work though it must be twice as hard, luckily I wear a crash helmet for my commute. To agree with MarkO, there is no substitute for will power.

Taste buds returned after about two months. Still don't feel particlarly fit even after visiting the gym twice a week since July but no doubt I am fitter. However, still have moments when I'm out and want a cigarette. It's not the nicotine addiction as I've got it out of my blood stream it's just that I loved smoking. I gave up because of the cost mainly and that I always said I'd give up when I turned thirty.

Also I packed in the special weed and daren't go back in case I get back on the ****.

Good luck and it's not impossible.

 

Ja,

What's this about fudge packing ?

Cheers Phill C

 

Backs to the walls on Sunday lads

and make sure he's not in the queue behind you for the carvery either
