Default 8 hours & counting!

Since i've had a fag

If ican do 8 hours, i'm sure i can do the rest of the day Then try and do tomorrow

Feel so much better for it already, chest isn't tight, havn't coughed once today, breath is fresher, clothes arre still fresh.

Gonna do it this time, fed up of being underweight, they say you put a stone on after you quit for good & that will be enough to put me over the borderline

Just thought i would share it, as a problem shared is a problem solved

Cheers guys

Just had dinner (tea) and i'm dying for a drag, but i'll hold out They say the one in the morning and after meals is worst.

But so far, i woke up, had breakfast, been to do my daily things, had tea, and not had a single fag

Well done

I quit 3 years ago now and it was one of the best things i ever did for "myself". I have put weight on but it's just one of those things i guess, enough will power to quit smoking but not enough will power to quit chocolate pmsl!!

The way you are doing it is the best way that i personally found. Just hour by hour, day by day, if you set yourself big goals they are harder to achieve. If you feel like a ciggarette, just say to yourself, can i go another hour without one? then when the hour has passed, say it again and again until your thinking days, then two days etc!!! (hope that makes sense).

Good luck with it, you will feel so much better for quitting!!! give yourself a pat on the back

Thats what i'm doing Nicole

I'm really hungry though, i mean REALLY hungry, im eating like a horse cos i got to keep my hands occupied, those candy ciggies are great, much better than nicorrette. You can get em down the corner shop, called 'krakatoa' and i pretend its like a real ciggie, then when i get fed up with doing that i just eat it.

Sounds weird i know, but it works for me

Sweet

I'm doing ok, last night i went out with some mates, had a few puffs on a joint whilst inspecting my car in the bodyshop, but went the rest of the night without one.

Woke up this morning, was dying for one, so i found a ciggie, sparked it up, took the tiniest puff and let it burn the rest just so i could get the smell.

I'll get there in the end From 15 a day right down to half a cig a day has to be a start.
