good luck fou

I quit recently myself but luckily haven't suffered to badly yet, if anything the positive side effects (listed below) have made me more determined to see it through.

1. drinking less alcohol as i used to love a beer and fag.
2. tons more money in my pocket
3. going to the gym a lot more now as i dont like sitting in bored with the temptation to smoke
4. feel so much fitter after just three weeks (related to no.3)

quitting is the best decision i have made in ages.

When I were a lad, my mum put that anti-nail-biting stuff on my nails so I wouldn't bite them but in a weird twist of irony, I liked the taste of it and it actually encouraged me to bite them. :\

Try working on a cancer ward for a year.....then repost that statement. With the way some of them go they 'd WISH they had the misfortune to be hit by a bus :p

My best friend is currently in hospital with suspected COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) directly caused by smoking, which she's found almost impossible to give up. She's 24.

(We both started smoking together as teens, and both enjoyed it).

How you doing Yuckfou?

Well done Yuck. I gave in a bit last saturday and had a few drags of one, but nothing at all since then. I think the psychological craving has stopped. Even managed to spend two days with my girlfriend with her smoking quite a bit and made many trips to the pub without any.

btw, the couple of drags was after about 5 pints, so not bad going really.

I would still kill for a fag after almost 3 years lol, although the rest of the time I hate the smell and turn my nose up at people smoking. Weird.

Always worse after a drink :(

Well done btw :clap:

Considering current public opinion, I think this is far more impressive than quitting smoking.


Even in light of the current stupid price of cigarettes and all the morons telling me to quit, I am still smoking like a chimney. And fucking loving it.







Sorry Yuck :( Still you've made it for a month. I'mtold that's the hardest bit about giving up. Not that I'd know clearly!

Never mind smoking - try giving up wanking. I can't.

Mornings are the worst, when you're just gagging for one. I'm down to three quick pulls a day. I think it's mostly psychological - you just need something to do with your hands. Public opinion is making things more difficult, you feel like a pariah - they even look down on it in restaurants! At work they have a special place for us to go - "the bog". It's tough but I hope to crack it soon.

Still off them chum? I am going doctors on Monday to get stuff off them to help me quit. Having baby Trem has made me want to quit desperately but at the same time I want to smoke more when he starts bawling.

Yup still off them.
But sometimes (like today) I crave. I need to go and stand next to a smoker or something, to remind me how much it smells, and so I can get some "passive action" :)

Do I feel better for it? Do I bollocks tbh.
I must have put on a stone, new friggin' wardrobe required for lardy boy* soon :)


*disclaimer: I'm 6'2" and currently 12.5 stone, not lardy at all but trousers are getting tighter, make of that what you will .
