THE Quit Smoking Thread - TilersForums.com

My host recently part ex'd his DB9 for a Lambo Spider. 100k's worth.

So we're talking a good 30 years to get one of them. I might start smoking more so it equals 6k p/a, then it's only 15 years to wait for it :lol:

When i stoppede i didnt throw the ciggies left in the packet away, nor did i empty the ashtray at home or in the van. I added a touch of water to teh one at home and kept it by the PC. Everytime i wanted a puff while on the computer id have a little sniff of the ashtray. Of course it was rank. Try it and have a good old lung full of it, its vile.

I also didnt change my lifestyle, i didnt stop going to the pub because i smoked more with a beer or because others would be smoking. I believe if you stop doing all the things you normally do then it seems you are making more of a sacrifice that just stopping smoking.

Good luck everyone, ill be smoke free for 5 years next month!

Well here we are, just been out for the last one! Bring on tomorrow morning and hopefully a smoke free future

Just to give you all some incentive. I'm not a heavy smoker but the wife is about 20 a day. We stayed in a hotel last night (Saturday) and she had to get dressed at 2am, go down from the third floor and have a smoke in the rain....even I thought it quite sad and pathetic. I've had her agree to quit with me in the new year.

3 cigs left and thats it hopefully.stressful week in work i reckon so heres hoping

 

[Dan]

Righteo. Hope you're all doing well. I've had one ciggy in two halves so far, possibly have another later in two halves but will wait for now. Going to not get beers in. And I've kept myself well busy all day sorting out the office. Still a fair bit to do so I'll carry on tomorrow.

Spent a good hour and half in staples getting stationary and files and whatnot so that took a chunk out of this morning which is usually when I want one the most. I didn't take any ciggies with me so just had the one half when I got back, and one half not so long ago. Ash tray looks lonely but it'll have to put up with it haha

Ive had a couple today, used the nicotine gum aswell (not at the same time!) Figured cutting down rather than stopping instantly is going to be the best way for me. Happy with progress though

 

[Dan]

I don't have any patches or gums or anything yet. Wanted to get in the docs to get some free jobbies. Still never got a call back from the NHS place so will pester the docs for a contact. So I've gone cold turkey.

It's helped having such a bad cough as I'm on the tail end of man flu that I got thursdayish and just have a cough again now but saturday morning I couldn't move my head my neck was aching that much. The mrs has been looking after me all weekend, bless.

Well done though mate. How's the Mrs doing?

 

[Ian]

Shes not had 1 yet, and shes had a grumpy ill baby all day! Made of tougher stuff than me, however she did quit while she was pregnant so shes only been smoking again for 5 months! I've got the excuses book out already! I'll be in the corner thinking about what I've done if anyone needs me
