Hi..
Sorry David and Moonlight..
Still smoking today..
Had to put doggie to sleep at 3am this morning. Buried her at 9am..
Obviously at the mo I am not in the mood, so will try for next weekend..

Yet again, another knock back...
This would have been a real test if I had stopped earlier...

You will get my full support for this, and if you want to PM me, no probs..
My worse time for wanting a *kitten* is first thing in the morning...
Because I can get up anywhere between 4 and 6am in the morning, it makes my day a long one.
If I can manage past midday, I know I will be ok for the rest of the day..

Good luck to all of you and I will join you soon..

Andy

So sorry to hear about your dog Andy x

And David, setting a date sounds good to me...I still have some tobacco left so going to try to have a little as possible tomorrow, think it will be a gym and swim day ..the one place where I dont want a cig.

So what date suits you both?

Susan

Hi Andy, I can't speak for David but Monday is good for me. Will be good to have friends who are going through the same challenges.

Hope your week is getting better, Susan x

Well today I am really grovelling for a *kitten*...
Woke up this morning and didn't reach for my baccy... Felt really strange..
I said no to my missus when she asked if I wanted one and told her I am quitting for the last time.

I am about to have lunch and hope I don't crave one after..

How you all doing...

Andy

Anyone has plans to give up smoking at any point in time sooner rather than later?

I am THINKING that when I drop down to 70kg I will try to stop.

That is still a bit away but.... rather than set date.. If my scale shows me 70kg for 3 days in a row, will try.

And I woke up with a sore throat and 73.7 on the scales so 3.7 kg to go before my attempt..

Where is everyone else from this thread?

Gave up? Still smoking?

HI Dee - thanks for posting.

Did you use any nicotine replacement or went cold turkey?

Well done

Thanks Dee - I have the nicorette inhallers at home, those worked for me once before so hopefully will do this time too and then it is a matter of wil power, huh?

Well done you

Good luck Smudger!

I gave up on Jan 1st faltered for a couple of weeks when we moved (moving is massively stressful!), but I have been off them again now for 3 weeks today! :-)

I found the Nicotene replacement patches really helpful and if you're lucky they may still be cheap?!

Again good luck and you know where we are if you need us!

After years of smoking and trying to quit I finally managed to give up the horrible habit on 10th July 2011.
I was so desperate to quit due to health / money / my kids that I decided I would finish my last one that I had left then that would be it, I would buy no more.
It was really hard for me because my partner and my mum who I lived with were still smoking.
But if you have a good enough reason and you really want to do it for yourself then you should be able to achieve your goals.
I read the book 'Allen Carrs Easyway to stop smoking' and I found that it helped me.
But also when I had finished reading that book, I got myself a few new books to read so whenever I thought about smoking, I would sit down and read a few chapters of a book, then that craving would dissapear.
So for a few weeks I was reading quite a lot - But you just do whatever you have to do to get your mind off smoking and with the money that you save, you should treat yourself once in a while :-)
I hope nothing ever makes me start smoking again as I do not want to be stuck in that terrible place again and not being able to be free, its the worst!!
If anybody needs any advice or support, feel free to add me x

I gave up 5 days ago, but I've been social smoking for a while tho. I'm using an e-cig and it works wonders. I'm reallly trying to get fit now as well. So quit buddies would be really welcome.anyone add me
