Tankbag Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 When you've sorted Matty's "problem" I have a nomination also..... I'm curious & Matty's nomination too The cravings WILL recede, it will take determination, but stick with it, whatever motivated you to stop is something to keep focusing on.

BikerMooFromMars Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Ollie did it with determination.If it's of any help, I've ALWAYS wished my dad would've given up. He's a hardcore chain smoker - I used to have to keep my school blazer in the garage so it wouldn't smell, our house stunk, his teeth are progressively going black and dropping out, his smoking fingers are yellow and my grandad's recently been told he's not got long to live since it was revealed recently he has lung cancer and has done for some time.Also - I highly recommend you use this calculator; work out how much you spend on ciggys a week, set up a direct debit/standing order and put the money into savings, treat yourself every month or so . And there's usually interesting info on how after so many years your lungs go back to normal and risk of cancer/heart problems etc decreases. Good luck and keep at it!

min200 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 Been a tough day again today i'm sure they are getting harder but hey ho another day down.I have to admit the gym is getting easier...more oxygen my system I suppose!Moo I never smoked in the house it bloody stinks, well that and the fact I wouldn't do that to my kids. Smoking was always my choice not theirs Wifey gave up smoking about 6 months back and we do save a fortune I only smoked 3 a day so didn't smoke a great deal but wifey used to smoke 10!

dieffe Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I gave up about 25 years ago and there were no "giving up" aids back then. What I did find helped a lot was that after every meal or cuppa I would brush my teeth, I carried one of those little travel kits about, and it definitely helped relieve the after dinner cravings.I now loathe and detest the smell of ciggies and am bemused by the hoards of people in work who go out into the rain every hour or so.I hope this helps.

Which ever i decide i want that day.. I don't think its the amount you smoke just the fact you get a bit obsessed about having one when you stop!Im drinking water when I get a strong craving and also getting up and doing something else to take my mind off of it. Go on give it a go you can do it! There is one strange side effect from quitting that no one told me about though...Im horny as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 12.5 pouch a day is what I was on, worked nights in a petrol station so most of it was boredom. Made it a moo to quit as all night I would have people coming in for 20 b&h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essbeebee Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I quit just under three years ago. I was a chain smoker back then and went for cold turkey. It's not easy at first, but worth it in the long run. The GLW still smokes, but not at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
