Quiting the Cancer Stick

[Wij]

It's habit for me. If the missus ain't 'in the mood' then I want a fag before bed


(do not misinterpret in the american fashion thx k)

but seriously, i smoke at uni and i dont smoke at home at all

and ive never noticed any ill effects when going 'cold turkey' at home in the holidays.

same happened back at school since i started about 5 years ago.


but i dont exactly smoke much even at uni, like between 1 and 4 fags a day unless i go out when it might be like 10-15 in a night.

That's how I started. Used to be really easy to stop, didn't smoke at home during holidays. That does change though. Quit now if you can, or else it's suddenly 9 years down the road and it's rather difficult

Difference is that I was smoking a minimum of 20 a day... plus as soon as i woke up i'd have a fag. Reallly bad for the body and my general health and could literally feel myself getting worse, im still young so thought if i quit now im going to be saving myself a life's worth of trouble, health problems and money! plus pretty women hate a smoker since they end up smelling of smoke aswell. Which isn't cool.

(btw its now been 134 hrs.... will stop counting soon)

I used Zyban once to quit smoking. Made it so easy. After 2 weeks I just didnt want a cig. However, when I finished the course after 2 months, I started getting the cravings again and ended up smoking

Quit 11 months ago - spent the first weekend getting pissed in front of the telly/comp to take my mind off it, then promised myself a cigar every friday night. Was cold turkey apart from that and had the cigar for 5 out of the first 6 weeks, then I started to be able to function without a fag

I'd been smoking for 16 years or so and never thought I could stop, then just decided at the start of the year to give it a go. These days I dont miss it, I know if I ever get the urge again I can have a cigar (which I find totally foul by the way, hehe). One of the things that really clinched it was when a mate said he'd give up with me - I'm a competetive bugger & wasn't going to let him beat me, hehe.

The pub's weird without a fag at first, but it gets so you dont notice. Then it gets so you notice other people's smoke lots & start to turn into one of those anti-smoking nazi's you always hated. harsh, but fair.

Good luck fella. It's worth it - I just bought the computer I always wanted for xmas, I could never have afforded it wothout giving up.

 

[Moo]

bah i'll never be one of those anti-smoking nazis

especially in pubs

i mean its kinda understandable in a restaurant if theres no non-smoking section or whatever but fuck off telling me in a pub that can't smoke - it's a pub for fucks sake.


<shakes fist at tony blair>

 

[Kari]

That came out wrong - I can feel myself starting to think that way I guess, but I'm fucked if I'd ever complain at anyone about something I did for half my life, hehe. I just mean you start to notice it, and not like it & whinge about it to the missus, who's never smoked & who then laughs at you for being a hypocrite

 

[Furr]

I've passed the one week mark, just the rest of my life to go.......

 

[Trem]

I am a 20 a day smoker, but, today, I have had none.

Finding it easy tbh, but I have tried to give up lots this year and always find the first day easy. I do have poker on Saturday and that could fuck me up

Every time you go to have a fag, instead think of me bearing down on you, just like in that picture in your avatar.

Imagine me being alluring and charming you with my silken exotic accent.

Round about now you'll either be having a massive brain haemorrage or beating off like a madman, cigarettes will be the last of your worries.

1 week 2 days today, and today for somereason i've been getting really bad craving. Im thinking of turning to drink instead...

 

[Furr]

Also last night i had a dream i was playing Call of Duty 2 and my mission aim was to "Quit smoking"


wierd....

 

[SoWat]

Stick at it!

The second week is pretty hard, and is the period when most people cave in (think of it as the 'peak' of your craving). Once you get through it though, you'll find it gets a little easier every day after that.

Good luck

 

[TdC]

Keep going Furr! Don't turn to drink, cos it will lower your resolve to not do it I'd warrent. Go for walks, and put a fiver in your piggybank every time you get the urge really bad, with the idea of treating yourself to something nice in a couple weeks time. Try not to get caught waiting for anything (like trains, etc). That always did it for me

I know you're no longer living on this island of ours Teeds. But public transport is never on time

 

[TdC]

sorry, I keep forgetting how shite it must be for you guys even the (in most respects) perfect dutch trains make me see red, I imagine that UK train commutes would send me on a rampage of death and destruction before I'd blissfully enter death's cold realm, warmed my knowing that I'd never have to take a &!$&*@! train again...ever

 

[Furr]

I drive, so i don't have to put up with crappy, over priced, always late, smelly, doesn't go where you want public transport

Yup week two sucks, but hey ho have a loverly cough with a ton of crap comming up which is always nice.

 

[ECA]

Better out than in!
