    I went down the leccy fag route rather than patches, i've managed 14 months without a fag- best move i ever made.

is it your boyfriend? Do you have a boyfriend? :)

 

No and no.

Why do you filthy beasts insist in throwing your fag ends around pub beer gardens when there are 3 perfectly suitable fag-bin thingies situated rights next to where you are stood??

No and no.

 

Ah well. Be sure to tell us when that changes. ;)

Because when I'm having a piss against the outside of the pub I just flick them over the wall.

Ah well. Be sure to tell us when that changes. ;)

 

Aye alreet. If/When I've a proper boyfriend I'll be sure to put it on here! :glare:

Don't know how anybody can smoke with some of the adverts on television, they kept showing the same one on every advert break during the darts.

They should make fags do that when you smoke them.

 

Daz couldnt risk getting any of that oozy shit all over his BHS lapel..

Is that the one where yuo can see the tumour growing in the ciggie as it's being smooked. That's fucking horrible - but effective.

See, it doesn't make me squirm that one.

 

The one with the kids in the car with massive saucer eyes. Now that freaks me out.

They are all pretty bad, anybody who smokes in a confined space with kids does not deserve them.

also giving it ago. i have tried a few times but to be honest half heartedly, this time i feel like i really really need, not want, to quit.

 

will also be putting a fiver or so everyday into a savings account for a bit of added motivation!

£7.50 a day will soon mount up - you'll be able to have a cracking holiday in the summer on the cash you save. Good luck to you

 

And he'll have enough left over for a new holiday jumper.

June 4th at 12:10 am I had my last smoke, 7 months and can say the last month or so has gradually got easier, in the fact the smell now makes think it stinks rather than thinking God, that smells good, which I did at first. didnt use any aids but used a timeline like this as a milestone to aim for each time I passed the previous, the money saving calculators helped too, but to be honest, I found reading what was improving at each milestone a real source of encouragement which in turn helped as the milestones get progressively longer.

7 months, so hardly be in a position to say ex smoker quite yet, but going in the right direction and this psychological method of counting the improvements to your health at regular periods may just help some get through that hardest first month and keep going.

good luck to all giving up

I've done 7 years now, best thing I ever did, good luck to anyoine trying to quit, it's not easy

10 weeks tomorrow for me :) :)

45 Hours so far! in a few hours my nerve endings start to regrow and the ability to smell and taste is enhanced (I think).

 

Does this still happen with me having an e-cig?

Stopped in 2004

was laid in bed last night struggling to sleep because i just wanted a fucking fag! Its sad as fuck, it really is. Really want to beat the fuckers.

 

Im ok as of now, at work, probably a mardy cunt, buit im ok.

 

Don't know how well i'll cope after sinking a few pints tomorrow night though!

Last night was pretty tough but I resisted the urge "just to nip out and get 10 ... for emergencies like."

 

Handy hint for anyone on patches. I know they're 24 hour patches to stop you having the craving when you woke up, but fuck me, they give you weird dreams (presumably because you're still absorbing nicotine while you're sleeping). Last night I was back at school (no, not in a Savile kinda way) and we we all had a day where we were walking dogs from the local dogs home. Mine was a cute little bundle of white fur, I'd say possibly a Bichon Frise puppy or sommert similar. Anyway, it got free of its lead, ran out into the road and got squashed by a van who then didn't even stop. I'm then sat there with it crying my eyes out as it dies in my arms. My next dream was me having a threesome with two hotties from a rental agency who'd been who'd been showing me round a new flat.

 

Swings and roundabouts.

 

I think I'll take today's patch off before beddy byes tonight though.

Good luck with that pal, that's gonna be the hardest test. Just keep telling yourself, if you can get through that then you CAN do it.

 

We're all in this together...

was going to give going out a miss this weekend, but thought fuck it, i've got to deal with it at some point.

 

I WILL do it. :excl:

I quit NYD

 

Trick for me is not going out on the piss, find it easy to stop then.

 

We will see, should be fine!

Stick the patches over your eyes, then you can't find your fags.
