THE Quit Smoking Thread

[Aston]

best of luck dan!!
do yourself a favour, if you slip up and have one, dont beat yourself up, just start again from that point. and remember, if anyone asks do you want a cigarette, then you say, i dont smoke ;0) ....none of this, ive packed in or its day 10, you simply dont smoke anymore, end of ;0) its a strong statement of intent...anyway, your a strong minded so and so, so you'll do it (meant that in a nice way so no crossing me off your friends list

best of luck

Yeah but Mike made it look easy and I've not seen that often.

Only heard of a couple of people that just decided to stop one day and did, and one of those guys was only a few months ago (though he'd quit 20 years or more ago).

I did, Dan, I was not a heavy smoker, but when I went through my divorce I wanted to smoke all the time, and one day I looked at it and thought, wouldn't it be something of a FAB new start if I manage to quit now? And I did :hurray: the first week or so was really really tough, and there is the old attitude curve about it, but it's good when it becomes a matter of pride, that helps you over the bit three months later when the little devil in you says, you've done it now, you can have the odd one, go on and all that. But really, when it comes down to it it is easy, and kind of interesting to regain control... promise!

I'd quit with you Dan if I still smoked. I still remember the last cigarette I ever smoked (October 9th 2003). For me now, my mindset is my body is a temple. And I don't smoke, drink very little and try to not over indulge. Set yourself a target Dan. For me my target is being as healthy as possible so when I have my own kids, I'll have more stamina than they will :lol:

I know quite a few Dan, it's been said before but it's in the mind set

Cheers for the support. When I do this and have quit for 9 days I'm going to find somebody else on one of the forums to carry on the trend. And when they've quit for 9 days they need to find somebody.

Stopping smoking is easy, Dan. I've done it loads of times

Funnily enough I've got about 4 days worth of baccy left and Mrs J and myself have agreed we're going to stop. I've tried before and not really had a good reason to suceed, however we have a little girl who's 7 months old now and thats a good enough reason for us both as the smell is not nice and most importantly I want to be able to run around with her as she grows up and not spew a lung up every time because I'm out of breath!!! Sorry to be so graphic!!! So Dan, I'M IN!
