Help me not put a fag in my mouth,im tempted

[theboob]

Im on day two,been ok really till now,i have a chest infection and really want to stop for good, put me off and take my mind off it please

thankyou,i have been to boots today and had a lung check,their age is 47.......................im 26 ,started on my patches but i've just ate and really reallyeally want one,but i'm not wasting the money i have spent lol .........i'll keep going but it's killing me

So how do they test your lungs?

a machine,you blow into it and they type your age in,calculate your lung space and tell you its real age

my dad also died of lung cancer 5 months before i got married.
he never met my son either who has just turned 1.

don't do it!

Your children will smell of smoke if you smoke. When their teacher leans over them to help them with their reading their clothes will reek of stale smoke. Yuk.

i will read that thanks,i am struggling really and keep rubbing my patch in the hope more nicotine comes out ,and i have turned into a dragon

i never smoked in the house and would never have them smelling so yuk,i always went outside always

i agree,but i hate this feeling and im getting myself wound up thinking about it ,its not helping much but i know it will get better,im dying for a coffee but it makes me want to smoke

boob - not having the coffee, this is also caffine that you are depriving yourslef of, really go and have the coffee and get used to drinking coffee without a ciggy.

Go and get some really nice real coffee so its different from your normal old stuff.

The caffine withsrawl is making you like a dragon not the nicotine - probably. So have a cup of coffee and enjoy the flavour then at least you will have satisfied one craving but not the killer craving.

your right,i might have a fag and start my patches again tomorrow,and go to waterstones and get that book,im just reading the other thread and laughing ,i do want to stop and i will but this way is not working that great,i have appointment at the stop snoking clinic soon

Nooooooooo. Have neither of them if there are association problems. Go and have a long hot bath with lots of lovely stuff in it. Then give yourself a pedicure sitting on your bed. Read book and go to sleep. Happy and smelling lovely.

STEP AWAY FROM THE CAFFEINE AND NICOTENE

at the mo i cant prise myself off here and i smoke outside anyway so for the min im safe

I stopped drinking coffee and wine when I quit smoking, because they were associated in my mind.

Restarted coffee & wine about a month afterwards and was surprised to see I actually enjoyed them without cigarettes.

Personally I would say 'don't drink coffee', but you know yourself best.

Niquitin lozenges worked for me: 2mg ones if you have first cigarette more than 30 mins after you get up (!) Honestly... they kill the craving and then you just get on with other stuff and realise how much time is spent planning the craft fag and thinking about nasty diseases simultaneously

For me it was the coffee that got me through, that and banans, gym, apples, satsumers, more coffee, gym, coffee and wayhay no sex

boob talk top us - stay in the house, we are here to support you wave please

ivy sorry i missed this,i did stay in the house,im doing well and only slipped up once,patches seem to be working and i've switched to tea

Good for you, theboob

I promise you, very soon, you will have all the coffee you want with no thought for cigarettes.

The inhalators are good as well - it means you can actually go outside and "have a drag". Most of the craving isn't chemical (i.e. nicotine), its habitual. So by pretending to have a cigarette (via the inhalator) its easier.
