Am going to pack in the cigarettes. Any hints or tips from fellow ex smokers that i could use?

nearly £5 for 20 and at 20 a day - you can work out how much a month and how that money could be spent on the cossie.

 

hope you stick with it mate! only good things can come of it! Im a smoker myself, have given up myself a few times, 6 months(ish) was my best, but i still end up smoking again

as they say, dont give up giving up!

good luck!

 

Apprently the experts sayto try and avoid getting into situations where you no ur gonna have a smoke. Easy to say

Which just about meens i can't do anything other than lay in bed coz thats the only place i dont have a ciggy.

 

Alan Carrs 'The Easy Way' is a good read! Helped me! kinda like my bible now, always read it when i fancy having another go at packing up!

 

basically, don't touch any nicotine replacement shit.

then get "Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking" tis proper bo i tell thee. no scare crap like the others, you will just realise u must be retarded to smoke. money back guarantee if u don't quit, which i guarantee you will quit.

 

Get some Ziban (think thats how you spell it !) from the Doc. they are quite expensive so the doc might not want to prescribe them But everone is entitled to one go Just give the obvious reasons why you want to quit.

These things will really take your desire to smoke away. You will need willpower but they help take the craving away.

My M8 has been off them for over one year now.

I just started again but buy duty free

Sorry guys PC keeps double posting

I read Alan Carr`s book It is very logical and covers every angle / excuse not to give up you can think of.
That said I`m still doing 20 - 40 a day

 

you have to relay relay wont to quit or it ant gonna happen...

fook all the bullshit about try this and that ... if i can do it after 20+ years anyone can just do it and QUIT for good m8

 

Yeah i quit about a month ago now.

Best thing ive ever done,feel great

 

do as stu (MSD) did just quit

 

try the patches, ash smokes as much as you dude, and he seemed to get on well with the patches, although he'd have one in the morning and just before bed but they worked...

Thankyou all for the positive comments. I know the real answer is that u have to really want to give up. So fingers and everythign else crossed that i can do it.

 

are u letting yourself being beaten by a piece of paper and some grass?

 

I just quit, two weeks ago.

Never felt better!

Am determined to stick to it, cos I thought I'd give up while it was still an original thing to do.

Try this link Stu sent me:

http://www.silkquit.org

 

thought stu was smoking again ?

 

i gave up cigs (kept the doubs tho) its hard wen u fill ur car up n see all the biffs, neva carry spare change is one.. occupy urself.. and another is dont tell ppl your quitting or quit.. just say u dont smoke.. it has a mental affect on u then n ur head tells u dont actually smoke!

 

There are like these sorta doctor hypno people that like put u into a trance or some crap and it makes you not want a fag a m8 of mine has just done it £100 best £100 hes spent he said he aint wanted a fag for a month now

 

lol he's probably dying for one but doesnt wanna seem a fool infront of his mates for spendin £100

 

I suppose i should give up....i dont wanna though so i wont for a while

 

*whispers in Vix's ear "give up" *

Good luck with quittin hon! Just stick with it. Find something to replace it, so when ya feel the urge, do the other thing instead (no dodgy thoughts please )

 

has now been 27 hours and 10 mins without a ciggy. The craving for one is immense and i have nearly given in a couple of times, but so far so good.

 

Keep it up Rich... every day it gets easier and easier...

Innit!!
To think ive done that for what? about ten years?

Thats a hefty heap of fooking wonga up in smoke!!

 

Cheers Stu. How many were you smoking a day then?

 

60mate

 

Rich,

Stick to it mate.

The first few days were awful for me - made me really unwell

....... BUT, I now consider my self a non-smoker, not an ex-smoker. Really pleased I've given up.....

My stats are nothing compared to Stu, but:

Not smoked for: Two weeks, six days, 16 hours, 25 minutes and 15 seconds.

268 cigarettes not smoked, saving £66.95

Life saved: 22 hours, 20 mins

 

Rich... only difference between you and me is that i became a non smoker before you... we are both non smokers mate

 

Aye, and I feel sooooo much better for it too - didn't think I would.

 

do what we got a mate to do, lick an ashtray

he hasn't touch them since, and that was about a year ago

sick but a cheap and easy way to give up, and he's never regreted it ever since
