i gave up last night, as i want to live a little longer and promised the kids i would give up before going to OZ.
hands up though i have had 2 puffs of one around 3pm this afternoon and im just dying to suck the living shit out of the rest of it right now
i dont think non smokers know how hard it is to give up

 

apparently its easy! my mum just gave up out of the blue a few months back. she said the key its actually wanting to do it 100%. tried numerous times before but wasnt committed. getting older and the health issues were a big deciding factor!

prob no help but....

 

vroooom ptssssh - Posts like that make it all that much easier to give up!!

 

This is it ... I was hoping Hypno would put me in that "Mindset" LOL

Look at all the shite the companys put in their fags these days, the one thing that stopped me smoking, wasn't the cash side of things, it was the fact that I was letting some rich company poison me and I was also paying them to do it

Found out today my old man smokes about 40-50 fags a day

 

Also if you read the rest of the site, they try to fob you off saying smoking is an ancient tradition bullshit

 

Well according the the Silkquit programme its been...

3 hours, 43 minutes and 22 seconds. 3 cigarettes not smoked, saving £0.70. Life saved: 15 minutes.

And I'm fookin climbing the walls

 

i also have two friends who did this and used to smoke like chimneys.

I have the allen carr book - got about half way through it at the start of last year and i could see that it was working so i stopped reading the book

Now im just gonna go cold turkey and just say no - i dont really enjoy it anymore either.

 

Andy, Lick an astray, My mate done it and hasnt smoked since

 

i never seem two quit just see how long i can go with out .

 

11 months without them for me (30 a day smoker) and i found the only way to quit was a few months before start convincing myself that i would do it so 31st jan last year i had my last one

You have to be in the right frame of mind to do it if your not 100% confident that you can then you wont its as simple as that!!!!

After only 11 months i know i will never smoke again, the thing that opened my eyes the most was the smell after a month or so when i got my sense of smell back i couldnt beleive how bad it actually smells, like now for instance my father in law comes round and he's a 60 a day smoker and he fuckin stinks of smoke so much so that i can smell it on the furniture after he's gone

Oh and just wait till your taste buds wake up roll on the fuckin pounds man ive gone from a 32 waist to a 38 and im about to start a diet for the 1st time in my life

And lastly for all the smokers out there YOU STINK

Im trying to give up at the mo, Been three days now, doing ok so far

Al...........

 

'bout time

 

Good luck to anyone stoping smoking
I stoped about 2 months ago now
was on about 30 aday and work with smokers
I think that you have to want to stop to stop,
Cant stop eating now

 

Did it make anyone else very moody? I couldnt sleep knowing i had noe ciggies and then at 9am the arsewipe next door throws his dog out barking its head off on a fookin bank holiday monday morning

Fuck im angry today

 

i gave up when i fell preggers 4 years ago, never looked back.


but i guess that would be a little hard for you


Good luck tho best thing i ever did

 

Once your past about 3 days, its starts to get easier, do something to keep your hands busy

Get rid of all your lighters and ashtrays etc

 

Mr.Manchester, going cold turkey almost guarantees that you'll fail, trust me. I stopped over a year ago with Allan Carrs book and it was one of the easiest things I ever did, honestly.

If you want my advice, start smoking again and go get the book. This way you'll stop smoking the easy way.

 

One cigarette to go any tips on stopping?

yep new year is not the time to give up

 

i stoppped pretty much 1yr ago to the day, after reading allen carrs book.

felt ill, sick, etc and one part of my head was hurting.

still, everytime i had a REAL bad craving, I fought it and found that after say 2-3 mins it had gone anyway.

then the cravings got further and further apart, till none at all.

it'll be the best thing people do

Good luck, all!

 

i gave up the fags 6 days ago and so far im finding it quite easy really! goto stay focused!

Although im not looking forward to going back to work tomorow as thats where i used to smoke the most!!

 

18 hours, 58 minutes and 8 seconds. 15 cigarettes not smoked, saving £3.56. Life saved: 1 hour, 15 minutes.

Just bought one of those plastic Nicorette ciggies with a filter in, fookin horrid but it is helping a little, 5.95 with 6 refills

 

Sorry pal, youve lost me there, Allen carr advocates cold turkey as the ONLY way and gives good, irrefutable evidence why, which i agree with.

 

God i never thought it would be this hard

I was up till 5am gagging for a smoke, could sleep, pacing up and down the living room and at one point i nearly went out to buy some I dont feel as bad today but we shall see what tonight brings.

 

Just remember, EVERY drag or ingestion of Nicotene puts you right back to the START.

Its an addiction you need to die, you are NOT dependant on poisonous chemicals to exist, you have just become addicted to them.

Think of the "Craving" as a Germ in your body, one thats alive but starving... that "Technically" is exactly what it actually is, the craving is the germ dying. If you feed it, you prolong its life...

When you crave just say "Die you little fooker"

This is the basis of the Allen Carr book, buy it now... worked for more people than any other method known to man. Proven.

 

I almost bought the book off play.com lastnight, but i hate reading books so im gonna see how i get on without for now pal

Well its been.....20 hours, 6 minutes and 23 seconds. 16 cigarettes not smoked, saving £3.77. Life saved: 1 hour, 20 minutes.

I bought this today..


All it seems to do is burn my throat, but having something in my hand etc seems to help

 

As much as you hate smoking? Or suffering? Or Failing?

 

i got 5 to go

 

Oh i wont fail, il do it, just wanna have a bash without the book.

 

Don't light them, then you have already started

 

2 days and 60 fags for me
fook this for fun,i have slept on and off all day as that way i dont want to smoke while sleeping
i have a box of ten sat right decide me, makes me feel better knowing i can have one if i want as opposed to having none in the house

 

Self discipline thats all it takes Mr M dont give in to a craving that will pass within minutes

Heres another reason to give in
Me and the wife had been trying for a child for 11 years with no success, We were booked in for IVF treatment last christmas and chatting to the dr's about it they advised me to give up smoking as every thing helps..... So i jacked in in Jan (possibly the most dificult thing i have ever had to do) but 1 month later the wife got caught pregnant WITHOUT having the IVF treatment so call it coincidence but i reckon giving helped us

Whilst you are correct on a technicality, I don't class stopping with the book as cold turkey.

 

i know what ya mean but ive set my taget after these defo 100%

and its 4 to go lol

 

STU - HOW TRUE IS THAT!!!

For those interested, I have the whole book in .txt format (although the book is MUCH easier to read), and I have the 4 audio MP3 files that you should listen to ONLY after reading the aforementioned.


KILL THAT GERM THAT WANTS YOU TO SMOKE!!!!!

<<< (not the right emoticon!)

 

send me it over then stu

 

quality thread! reading these posts help alot lets keep things going with regular updates!

6 days for me!!!

 

msg me then pops, ive got about 40-50 people out of 200 online, all with wierd names lol

 

IMO as a non smoker it is discusting, it does kill you, you smell like a dirty fucker, You subject other to the foul stentch and the passive smoking,
You look like a prick walking down the road smoking ha ha he's adicted to that stupid stick ,
Will that make any diff NO
Now think about it you give the Government all that tax this alone should make you give up
Of cause this is IMO and is not given as a insult to you just a kick up the arse
