    ST, you´ve smoked three in an hour, you´ll be through the rest of them by lunchtime. After eating is one of those times... save one for after your lunch.

    Oh, man I wish I´d said we should start tomorrow... any tomorrow. I haven´t caved yet though so am quite proud of myself so far.

    My names Carmella and I've quit smoking, yup. :D

    I have a plastic cigerette that I got from the chemist. It actually looks exactly like a real one and has a nicotein thingymajig inside so if you suck on it, you get a quick nikki fix. When i quit smoking last time I used to walk down the street smoking my plastic cigerette. From the look's I got, I don't think i'll be doing that this time...

    Hi guys.

    After about 8 years of on/off "social" smoking, and 2 or 3 years of 20+ a day I managed to give up smoking successfully. And I'm coming up to 3 years of being smoke free. Basically I'd avoid any nicoteen alternatives like patches, gums and those plastic nicoteen tube/things. They actually left me more addicted.

    How I actually gave up was to make the decision to give up. I know that sounds silly, but times I tried before I don't think I'd made the decision and actually "wanted" it with my whole soul. The same applied for me losing weight - I lost the weight when something clicked, and I made that decision to do it.

    That may sound wishsy washy. But that's how I believe curing any addiction happens, it comes from deep inside you. Anyways, I'm fully behind you all for giving up together, it's a fantastic choice - well done!


    Cheers

    Chris




    "social" smoking! Hardly a social activity.

    Quiters are losers, takes a real man to face lung cancer!



    :D

    Seriously, I tried quitting for years from my 3-4packs/day habit. I realized trying and doing were two different things. Trying, is you just going through the motions and not wanting to. Quiting, is wanting to and doing it. I went cold turkey(tried patch, got sick so cold turkey was the only option for me), and I quit since I decided couldn't afford it anymore(wifey was quiting her job to go full time college). I like smoking, I never quit cause I hate it. But then I was a polite smoker, I didn't even smoke in my own house. So I never have lingering smells after a couple laundry cycles. ;) I have my last pack still so when I can afford it, I can pick up where I left off in 1994.

    Now to still look cool like a smoker, I use highlighter to yellow my teeth. :p

    later,

    tom

    Brilliant. Exactly what I was trying to say, but to the point. I couldn't agree more.


    Cheers

    Excellent. That's spot on.

    My mum has tried everything to make me quit...she said she'd buy me a labrador puppy, pay for holidays, she even said if I stopped smoking (this was years ago) for good, when I'm 21 she would give me some money (we're talking in the thousands) yet I still couldn't quit. Because when it came down to it - I didn't want to.

    And If i'm honest, I still don't want to 100% whole heartdly. I actually like smoking.. ALOT. The only things that really put me off is the health issues (my best friend has cancer, and It's heartbreaking to watch her go through chemo ect) and the money side of things. Even in Holland the price of a packet of fags has risen increasingly. I can't stand social smokers, they piss me off so much. Why smoke when you don't actually need to?!

    Anyway I think nows the time to stop. Everywhere is becomming non smoking..people are turning real anti it. It's horrible for your skin, your health, and your bank balance. I just have to break my routines, like after food - cigerette. On the phone - cigerette. wake up - cigerette & I'm going on holiday soon, and I smoke like 10 x more then than at home and cigerettes are about 1 pound a packet...

    But at the end of the day..a smoker always finds excuses not to quit.. So I'm going to pull my finger out and actually do it this time. I hate being weak and not in control and if i'm honest right now - cigerettes control me, not the other way round.

    We can do it DPers.....

    (Mike hun please try really hard :()

    Well, I´ve been eating like a pig today, scarfing down anything that doesn´t move fast enough out my way. I tried one nicorette and it was horrible, like chewing on someone else´s old trainers so it´s cold turkey for me.

    I´ll need to find something satisfying and non-fattening to chew on or my lungs´ll be fine but my belly will explode.
