General Chat

Me and the OH gave up 40 years ago, we both had a bad bout of Asian Flu, and coughed so much, decided no more smoking.

The money we saved paid for the central heating to be put in our house.

We just remembered that horrible cough, and did not want them anymore.

Mrs Bucket,
You can't be a SLAVE to NOBODY let alone a piece
of paper stuffed with wead !!
You and Pablo are doing alright one day at a time.

I practically ate my ciggies cause I loved them that much .
But I feel great now that was 16 yrs ago !
Keep it up

Pablo1513, You should try getting pregnant. That was when i gave up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mind u I was never a strong smoker so really never missed it. My oh is a reformed smoker, he went cold turkey.

Pablo

I have had a bad day today :-( ...

The patch fell off and i diddnt know and it has been a long day!
(still no where near the number of fags as usual but still feel guilty)


...but tomorrow is another day!...

I am determined to beat this!!!

I really hope your as determined as i am?


One day at a time m8y....

I have been a slave to this weed for the past 46 years!

It's now time for this slave to turn into the BOSS and become a flower!

26th June 2008....Day one....

Pablo,

You are doing very " WELL"

One day at a time or one hour at a time !!

You are bound to die for a drag but don't let them ciggies take over your life !
Don't forget who's in charge...

Marilyn

Glad to hear you've give up.

Thats the hardest bit, choosing to give up, the rest is easy from here. Just keep telling yourself you dont want one.

I gave up over 8 years ago and knew I had succeeded after 4 days. I had tried to give up before but was never really committed to do it so always failed.

The last time, I set a date, never had any left in the house and just stopped. Cold Turkey all the way!!

OH smoked and I used to look longingly at the ashtray fighting off my temptation. After 4 days the ashtray smelled distgusting and so did OH!!

After 6 months I bought a car. The money I saved paid for the payments easily with money to spare and I dont cough in the mornings anymore.

Keep going- and good Luck

Good luck pablo, I dont smoke but do drink wine and that can be addictive too,

Marilyn,

Pablo,
They would'nt dare talk back, because YOU are in charge !

Marilyn

STAMP on em!

lol

Dont punish yourself Papblo.

If it gets really bad, imagin having a puff....talk your way through that puff.....smell it!.....feel your chest heaving!....remind yourself how much money this costs!.....remember how adictive this weed is!

WE rule...NOT that flippin weed!

Keep with it Pablo...i feel this is my biggest last ditch effort....please stay with me? I find doing it with another addict helps......dont let me/you down.....

Gerri x

what happens if they talk back?!?!?!?!

Brilliant news,Pablo.

Now "KEEP" to it.

You have made the first step !
Keep talking to those ciggies....

Marilyn

Thanks for all the support so far am going to take it all on board.

will keep you posted as to how I get on
nearly 17 hours without a smoke dont feel that I need 1 at the moment.

As the song says "one day at a time"

Pablo

Go for it. I have tried the patches and everything else, including attending no smoking classes.

In February this year i decided the only way was "COLD TURKEY" not easy but i have managed it, although in the early stages i succumbed one or two times.

I was a smoker for 50 years.Never thought i would do it but i have.

George

Good luck to you.
I did it cold turkey and I believe.... for me... that was the only way.

Keep at it... if I can do it..... ANYBODY CAN.
