welli have just gone past 48 hours withou ta fag. i gave up sunday night, and wouldnt post anything on here yet until i knew i could cope for a few days

i smoked 20 -30 a day usually. Have used patches thast releases 21mg nicotin in 24 hours. Yesterday was the hardetst day, least of it was my first day back at work after 2 weeks hols

but today was a lot easier

least of all its got to be better for me kids environment now as well

 

Just dont give in, no matter what he says

 

I have to stop smoking in 4 weeks when i move in with Dave

He says i'm not alowed to smoke in the house

 

u can do it

 

I hope so


I promised Dave i would stop smoking when i moved in with him


Will have to get stocked up on the patches

 

go on Sludge, you can do it m8

 

It will get a lot harder mate so don't worry
I tried for 2 weeks but felt a murder coming on and so did the sensible thing and started again

 

I read the Allen Carr's book.

Read it in one day, started @ 11am finished around 4:30pm, not had one since.

That was back in January.

You will find you DO get cravings, you WILL smell it when theres not one about, but persist for like 5 mins and then you wont want one.

FIrst thing I did was go out for a drink in a pub with the missus, THEN, got pissed.

All the things I associated with having one I did 1st.

After 10 months, the ONLY time I miss having one is first thing in a morning with a coffee. But I know if I just have one then, I will be back to smoking all the time then.

Good luck mate, and my msn is "stuhyde@gmail.com" if u want a chat anytime



P.S. Ive saved 2k since I stopped 10 months ago!

 

Sounds about where i would of been bar the Brum bit as i couldn't see myself sinking that low lol

 

hope you stick to it think about you won't be killing people by making people breath your smoke.

 

Tight bastards should go and buy their own fags anyway

 

i know but not good when you have lost a family friend because of smoking so thats my point

 

[quote="feverkane"]i know but not good when you have lost a family friend because of

I don't smoke around anyone that has a problem with it and don't smoke in my house so not guilty

 

Good luck Ian - stick at it pal <---- no pun intended

 

"giving up fags"


This is a book by Mike Rainbird aint it?

 

Aren't you going to miss coughing up all that phlegm in the morning? rapidly aging skin, being a social leper, wasting your cash, stinking clothes, stained fingers, etc etc?
No? well good for you!!

 

DONT GOTO BED WITH A PATCH ON

MAJOR NIGHTMARES ... SOME STRANGE SIDE EFFECT

 

cheers all for the support.

Spadge you make me laugh dude

stu h-thanks mate

bad company, i have been doing this and im getting somemad dreams i tell thee

 

After smoking for 10 years I gave up 11 months ago. I decided to give up and just gave up. No patches or anything!!

Still feel like a ciggy a coupl eof times every day but you just have to ignore it.

 

fair play Ish.

 

I've given up smoking ciggs and joints for nearly 3 weeks now. Best trick is to hang around non smokers, and stay away from stoners

 

 

Ish man how the hell did u just give up after all that , my misses has smoked like a trooper for years amd has cut down from 30/40 to 20 a day but findin it hard . she tried cold turkey once locked herself in a room but shewas goin that mad we had to chuck fags in lmao so how do ya just give it up lol

sludge man gud on ya

Use allan Carrs book as suggested.... I did it a couple of years ago after 20 years of 60 a day

 

I gave up last year with the patch, go for the 24hr patch so you don't crave in the morning, put it somewhere it won't fall off. Go for it!

Was easier than I thought! Beer tastes better now I've given up too!!!

 

I quit when the Open was at Troon last year but started again about 6months ago,but quit again the other day

No need for patch's either,just stop smoking! It stinks!

 

I gave up a year and four months ago now, and I still miss it a little at times.

However, the thing that makes the most sense is that you go from craving it with your very soul, to just missing it with your brain - it's a lot easier to control thinking about having a fag, than needing one!

Best of luck

 

seem so many peeps are giving up which is cool

STU>60 a day for 20 years

if you can do it anyone one can. fair play

 

Your not alone in giving up fags Choose life!

 

stu whats the full title os it just allan carr

cheers jay

cheers stu im guna get her the book get the kids out an go in the garage for a week or to lol

i was shocked when Mike R said he was giving up fags!


then I realised he didnt smoke!

 

pmsl @ spadge and DAvescos

I tried to quit after reading the allen car book - got scared that i will actually quit so stopped reading the book

i dont smoke fags by the way - just da green. But felling the need to kick the habit more and more.

 

what the fuck is 'da' green


speak english man! you're not a fuckign jamaican!

 

lol at dave

 

Smoking green is worse than fags though, and it has cigs mixed in anyways

 

AGREED
