THE Quit Smoking Thread

[poynton phil]

I'v gone cold turkey as well dan, not had one yet but i could chew me arm off.

 

[Dan]

Don't knock yourself Bri mate, just cut down a lot first and try quit again properly when you feel it's possible.

And well done Phil! I'm going to have to try to get some patches or gum, I'll bloody pay again like I did last time if I have to. It's bugging me to bits I'm not good at this. Having a bad cough is helping a lot, the thought of trying to inhale anything but fresh air makes me cough.

some lads at work are on the patches and say that they have no urges for cigarettes while on them

 

[Dan]

I must get myself some asap. Last time I had them they made me feel a bit sick, I think I got ones too strong for me. So I cut them in half and one half wasn't quite enough. Gave up persevering and just binned 'em and bought some ciggies.

I gave up 6 years ago but was only really an occasional smoker it was worse when in the pub before the smoking ban it was a real fight not to have a *** even now when i smell cigarette smoke I get the urge to have one but choose not to ,good luck with quitting you will save yourself a fortune

 

[Dan]

Well done mate, that'll be us lot in a couple of months hopefully. It's more about my health than cash although I'll notice the savings I bet.

[Dan]

I can't wait to say that Mike. Your legacy will continue! (hopefully every 9 days )
