I AM GIVING UP SMOKING TOMORROW ...... I AM I AM IAM

[mosschops30]

Have joined a new gym, sick of feeling like shit all the time, coughing, wondering when my tumours gonna appear and smelling like a tramp.

Tomorrow is the day and I am gonna do it

(whispers - but will need loads of support)

Best of luck Mosschops.

If you're determined then you'll do it.

I've been stopped 7 or 8 years now.

I would say the first 2 weeks are definitley the worst...after that it's a doddle.

I'm a typical ex-smoker....can't stand the smell of them now. You really will smell so much nicer when you've stopped

Good luck again

thank you, ive stopped loads of times (during pregnancy) but always end up back on them. I can go for months then start again.

I wish I could just be a social smoker, i enjoy smoking when I have a drink, but day to day smoking sucks

Good luck, lots of willpower, I have been of for 8 months and have saved £1200 in that time, DH also gaveup and has saved the same amount and we are going on a great holiday in November with children with the proceeds, so think of things to do in the future that you can't afford now because of the fags.

Good luck you can do it

DH managed to quit the habit on his 3rd attempt after having read Alan Carrs book on giving up. DH says the first month for him was the hardest. He has not smoked for 3 and a half years

Go for it! It is soooooo hard, but ultimately sooooooooo worth it. It took me a good few gos to finally stop, but I haven't looked back in over 3 years.

We'll support you!

thank you. It feels good this time, I even woke up this morning thinking, thank god this is the last day I'll be smoking

Well im actually doing it. Am using the inhalator again which is good for me.

So far so good

Hey Mosschops30,
I am on day 2 today and using nicotine lozenges.
May the force be with us

i am sitting here biting my inhalator as we speak lol

congrats lush for being day 2, i always think day 3 is a turning point, and youre nearly there well done

Good luck mosschops30!

Been on 2mg of nicorette gum/boots substitute coming up to 4yrs in Nov but I don't smoke anymore yay

If I can do it, you can too.

Well done!!!

one day at a time and all that....

I have given up 2 years this year.....

Think of all that dosh you'll save

whyquit.com mental ammunition for the nicotine monster!

oh sally its the stress of this course, I swear it'll kill us all lol

I went to a spin class tonight which helped because I nearly coughed up a lung made me realise just how shit my chest is

oh dont id love to be enjoying them, but just had enough at the moment and life is relafively stress free for 5 minutes so might as well make the most of it

Well done! It will get easier ...

And feel free to slap me if I sound patronising or pious - I don't mean to be

good luck!

day 2

feeling slightly less twitchy and woke up without my mouth feeling like something died in it which was nice.
Going to the gym again today, trying to focus on something thats not fags

how are you getting on lushaddict?

Well done Mossy!

Day 3 and thrown the lozenges away as they give me indigestion etc, so today I've gone cold turkey and managed with just a packet of fruity chewing gum.

I have had a day at home though as DD has been poorly which is less stressful than a day at work. Tomorrow may prove more of a problem

Well done to you though Mossy-C

thats great lush well done especially with a poorly dd thats good going.

Im still off the fags, i suppose its getting easier, Im not using the inhalator at all now, but I still wish I could have the odd fag, wish I could be a one a day smoker but I know i cant. I do miss is very much

Keep going Mosschops and Lush.
