Has anyone given up smoking this year?

Failed miserably

But I can use this as a springboard.

Well done, Beachy.

Completely over it now, infact sniffing other peoples fags and smokey/shitty breath makes me feel eurgh now.

FFS BOF what went wrong ?

I weakened. It was my first outing with Alcohol and the chewing gum and beer didn't mix, so......

The only way is up and I am confident I can now do this. I have got it out of my system.

BoF, this may not be the way you want to do it but I thought I'd have the same problem with the beer & fags so ditched the beer for a whole month to help, when I went back on the beer I'd lost the urge for fags.

That is definitely the way forward. I could do with losing a few pounds as well, so......Anytime I get the urge, I am going to pound the promenade. All good in theory, though!

REALLY REALLY STRESSED

Strongly recommend reading one of Allen Carr's books even if you've already stopped smoking.

I managed to quit for a whole year and then started again.

Since I started the cough has come back, I stink of backy and my teeth are now going brown again.
I am also out of breath on my bike.

I am thinking of giving up again, but this time I might save all the money towards a present for myself next christmas.

I want one of the Intel Mac Pros for £1699, so this could be an incentive for me.

Last time I gave up I made a grid chart and coloured in each square of every day I had not smoked. I managed to save money each day and the idea was to get a mac. Unfortunately I dipped in to the money, but that did not bother me as I was dependant on the fags.

Day 7 now - how is everyone doing ?

The cravings tend to go after about 3 days, however I expect everyone has still got several weeks of coughing up phlegm still ahead of them!

Really is that all - not been coughing badly at all so far

 

[brunswick]

given up since 26th December. chewing more gums than last week tho. not going to worry - chewing better than smoking.

only on the low strengh gums and eat them in halves - about 5 gums a day.

I take it that is nicotine gum ?

Haven't resorted to that - what is it like and what does it cost ?
