THE Quit Smoking Thread - TilersForums.com

[Scott]

Brian i know where your coming from with the beer and smoking thing. It goes hand in hand doenst it? Although not so sure how it is now you have to go out for a smoke in the pub?

I deliberately didnt do anything differently when i stopped. IT was xmas week so plenty of drinking and parties, i think if you stop enjoying yourself as well then it makes it feel like you are giving up even more than just smoking. Thats how it was put int he book i read anyway.

Well done so far

Day 5 nearly over for me. I'm finding it easier than I thought so far thanks to the patches and the inhaler for emergency urges. The wife was a heavier smoker than me and she's not having too bad a time either. I am struggling with my moods though and am really irritable and sometimes find it hard to concentrate but I'm confident that will pass over time .....reassurance please :lol: oh......sleeping brilliantly

I'm still on the wagon, and now my cravings are getting less, and less. TBH, I cant really remember how long its been now, a good few weeks though. So well done to all of us quiters, and lets keep it up.

Nice one Mick, if your serious about the jogging thing, start with brisk walking, then jog/walk then progress to full jog. i don't need to say what might happen if you do too much too soon.
for everyone else well done and keep it up.

p.s. i gave up the habit 25 years ago, since then i became a fitness nut (i've ran 5 marathons, 3 50km races and countless half marathons) i'm a qualified Squash coach, i also rock climb, ski and snowboard. i'm 54 now and training to run some big hills this year.
