Fag Free Few................New Fresh Thread

[charliebat]

Hello

thanks, yes i think that is what went wrong before. aim to keep up with higher dose as long as possible. my dh did, took him months, then at the end, without patches he thought he had become addicted to the puffer thing he got. has quit good and proper now.

Crikey!!!!!!!!!! I had just popped out for a fag and we have a party going on !!!!!!!
Seriously now,Clever Charlie Cat knows me well enough i think YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No fags and cant wait till 8th December-thats 3 months quit.

Pann-you have obviously missed me

To everyone on here(sorry i am not naming you all but i have alot of catching up to do on here)its bloody hard but it is NOT impossible.
Choose not to be a drug addict,Choose not to be a slave to Mr Nicotine,One day at a time and when you are an Inch away from having a fag,get on here and rant.

Thought you were still on the wagon NAS . Alice are you meant to be using the puffer and the patches at the same time?

Looking forward to the Christmas piss ups as a Non Smoker and another smug moment

Martian Bishop has started a thread saying she going to go for now to spend time with her DH, just in case she pops in here Id like to say ill be thinking of her xxxxxxx

me too.

this is my 4th day with no cigarette

i'm getting a cat's bum mouth

another day without a fag, but i have hidden myself away so im not tempted to go to the shops!! its now over 48hrs (last fag 10am sunday morning)

cx

i really want a fag right now

lou - you don't want a fag. The fag wants you. AND you certainly DON'T need a fag.

lou and SEA - read the Smokers Vow again, and imagine all it entails and DO NOT think, "oh just one will be okay.."

SEA - a cat's bum's mouth isn't something you want developing, is it? I've seen these on relatively young people.....it would be like a premanent facial scar of the stupidity of using nicotine, yes??

im not reading the vow because i dont need to, i didnt have one, i just want one

i have just got back from a party of 17 ten year olds, i really WANT one, but i wont.

Hi, can I join you all? I quit 11 days ago after reading Allen Carr and can really recommend it. I tried quitting last year and failed miserably, so i'm quite surprised that I haven't caved in yet. Have been lurking here for a few days getting some inspiration from you all, so thanks for your support

hello spotty. So many people shoving the weed where it belongs!!

Yes Allen Carr is a bit of a standard on the thread, as is www.whyquit.com.......

great you have posted...11 days, well done to you!! Breathing easier? Sense of relaxation yet???

the real test for me is when i go to the pub, i'm going to try and avoid it this friday

Lou, do all your drinking friends smoke? If not how about going to a non-smoking place or sitting in the non-smoking section? It is harder to resist in that kind of situation but it's not impossible and before you know it you'll be in that situation and realise you're not thinking about it at all!

I feel very sad for mb, if you ever peek on this thread again, thanks for your extra incentive advice.

And hello spotty! 11 days in, that's brilliant. Are you cold turkeying it?

not really no, but the local is v smoky, noone sits in the non smoking bar, so it would be pretty lonely, lol

if i avoid going this week i should be ok to go next week i think

Hello again, yes, I am cold turkeying it! I tried the nicotine gum last time and it was foul so I thought i'd just go for it this time. I'm finding that I think about smoking less and less and strangely I do feel more relaxed, but I haven't been out to the pub yet, I might just have to wait until the smoking ban comes in.

today is day 5 for me, i'm feeling ok,the urges to have a ciggie are controllable, not lasting that long

Allen Carr RIP

Sad. So sad. Reminds one.

CC, it's tragic that he died of lung cancer in the end. But if he hadn't quit when he did he wouldn't have lived anywhere near this long would he?

No, no way and he was 72, and helping all those folks stop smoking must have gave him the buzz of the century.
All doing well I gather?
Im on my 2 year stretch now. Can hardly belive it.
And for any newbies wondering, it took a while, actually , felt like forever to get to 1 year. But this past years went like a flash.
And I think theres been 1 day when I thought, my goodness a fag would be nice right now.
1 day in year folks And I didnt, and im still here

1 Week, 2 days 20 hours. Happy to think I shall NEVER catch the two of you up!!

One month and counting for me. Missing it like mad though. Well done everyone
