Well done to you all.
Having given up myself 6 years ago after over 20 years I know how hard it can be. I was out on the p1ss last night and could easily have started again even now. For what it's worth, here's some things I kept reminding myself when quitting and some things I still do to keep off the fags:
1) They say that after about a week all the nicotine is out of your system. All that's left is the physical habit - open the packet, take one out, light it, smoke it. You can control that easily.
2) Just having one cigarette (or even a drag) immediately puts the drug back into your bloodstream and starts the craving again. Back to square one.
3) So you might put some weight on. You can always diet. Carry on smoking and you can always die!
4) Smokers stink! I didn't realise that until I gave up smoking. Now I know why my friends hated sending their kids to our house - they go home reeking of ciggy smoke.
5) I'm rich now! I've saved an absolute fortune - and it gets more every time the prices go up!
6) What colour would your paintwork be if you didn't smoke?
7) One of the worst times is after meals. Instead of sparking up - chew gum. It not only helps kill the craving, it cleans your teeth and makes you far more kissable :smile:
8) After sex, don't have a ciggy - have sex again!
9) After 2 years of not smoking you can officially class yourself as a non-smoker and get much cheaper life assurance.
10) Last, but probably the most effective one for me.... always remember how sick your first cigarette made you feel. Even after a week it will have the same effect.

And, if you should fail (I know you won't) never give up giving up!
Good luck to you all!
Congrats you 3 for giving up!

Also, I discovered when i quit and then started again - those first few fags taste absolutely fLuckin 'orrible!!
Reminded me that it isn't that easy to start smoking in the first place - no buzz, no niceness about it - I must've forced myself to smoke just to look cool. Now, I look really cool when the hygienist is scraping the nicotine off my teeth and I'm spendinga fortune on anti-wrinkle creams to prevent the premature aging that smoking causes. Not to mention the gallons of bloody Febreze i get through.
Another little bit of advice - make an appointment at the dentist to get your teeth cleaned and buy a posh new toothbrush and some whitening tooth-paste.
Your teeth will look and feel gorgeous and everytime the urge to smoke gets uncontrollable, go and give your teeth a good scrub and spend 5 minutes admiring them and appreciating your fresh tasting mouth!

Yup, pats on the baccy all 'round it is! Well done - I know how shitty it can be!
Well done for giving up. Yuk, awful habit, & if my Mum can give them up (as she did many years ago) anyone can. biggrin
Not saying my wife is a heavy smoker, but, she doesnt have a period she has .................................................................
A fall of soot
:happy:
Must admit its hitting me a bit now.......not so much the craving but feeling a little low sad i think maybe it could be the tabs i am on as well as the giving up the fags
But i no it will pass!.................. and i will not go back on them ever!...............i don't no how many of you have experienced not being able to catch your breath but it isn't nice!
Thanks cu3b41 a great bit of info there..............i no what you mean about still wanting one after years of giving up...............as i did give up for 10 years once!
Anyway thanks for all your surrport...............and lil bunny and corri!................. lets show them hey! :thumbup:
My dad gave up 2 yrs ago, my mum did irt early this year.
Now when I light one, dad says "Another cigarette?" and I have been known to say "I have a lot of catching up to do, to be on a par with you"
I find his attitude just makes me wanna smoke more, like I am a bloody kid again. Maybe he should try reverse psychology. rolleyes

well done debs, corrie, bunny!
if you lot keep it up, then you can give me some tips in about 2 weeks. got a stack of nicorettes all ready, appointment at the clinic for patches, and might even blag some Zyban if i'm lucky! attacking the smoking thing from all sides!
keep it up! biggrin
n x x x ;)
To everyone who has quit,bloody well donebiggrin
To all those peeps who are going to quit,bloody good luck :D
We quit before for 18 months so i know exactly how it feels,but it gets better and you soon start to feel a mile better.
Were planning to quit again at the end of January coz im jinxed for new years resolutions :shock: We used patches before and are definately gonna use them again,it was like having your own comfort sorts out your cravings so you just need to take away the habbit part of it which i recon is the hardest.
Just be careful of what you eat when you i quit before was when i put the 6 stone on that ive recently lost when we quit next year im hitting the diet at the same time and hoping i can do both at the same time confused

sadly me and stella have had a parting of the ways. she was getting right on me tits she was! luckily i've made an acquaintance with probably the best lager in the world, and she ain't so high maintenance, so it's not all bad. :D

A HUGE well done to debbiewebs, corriefem and lil bunny.
I gave up on March 6th so I know how tough it is, my worst time was always sat in front of the pc so I sucked lollipops instead, I still do even now occasionally.
I also used the patches and found they worked for me brilliantly well.
As well as all the other benefits I found out last week that for the first time in 2 years my blood pressure is now under control - it has gone from 220/180 to 140/90 and I dont need to go back to the hospital for 6 months!!
Good luck Steve and Clare and Neil hunni, we are all behind you and will be thinking of you.
biggrin lol :P
