GeordieMessiah 2 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I bought a box at work for the first time in months today. I'm just going to keep smoking until the ban tbh. Exactly what I thought before they introduced the smoking ban up here in Scotland, and damn it, I'm still smoking...although to be honest, I've not drummed up the willpower yet to quit. But quit I must, it's done way too much damage to my life, my health and my bank balance and it's just damn crazy carrying on. Hats off to the quitters in this thread. Keep going. I hope to join you in a couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to join you in a couple of months. Do it when you've thought about it for a bit and set a date. Have other stuff ready to fill the void..For me that would include grapes, fruit, sweets, gum etc.. One day at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Ahrrrrrrrrr, these things just remind me I NEED TO QUIT, which I've tried to do too many times.

When I'm dead, I've tried hundreds of times, once going 6 weeks and I always end up back on them, often after a night out. And why do smokers smoke twice as many when out on the piss? I've resigned myself to being a smoker for the rest of my life, everyone I know smokes, I enjoy a tab and when I'm out on the drink... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howaythetoon 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) What I want to know from those mega never smoked for donkies giver uppers, do you ever crave one these days? A mate of mine gave up and hasn't had one for a year, says after about 6 months the cravings stopped and he said that's the key to quitting, to get past the craving stage because once clear, you stop craving. But I've heard how people go back on after like 3 years without one. The cravings do it for me like, the first 24 hours is the worst, then leaving the house, then watching others, then going out drinking. They should just ban tabs, that would make me stop. Bastards.

Fuck me I thought after a good while, it leaves your system for good and only something daft gets you back on them, like stress or something. So it is like alcoholism then. You see with me, I'd always be tempted and have no will power, not strong enough to resist the urges anyway. Good luck though, it seems reading this that this is no whim so I think that could be half the battle, seems you're quitting for good reasons and not because hey, it's the new year like I always say to myself.

I'd take a year tab free, it would I know do me the world of good, I am naturally fit or full of energy but I've noticed as I get older that is on the wane. Today if I play football it takes me 20 minutes to get over the whole, my face is beetroot read, I'm sweating like fuck and about to keal over at any minute, smoke related unfit thing. After that though I can run about all day, oddly enough. As ever though it's having the will power to stay off them and all the crap inbetween, I've been there a hundred times and I don't like it. One day I keep saying, one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythetoon 0 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 BTW Chewing gum, whoever invented that idea wants shot, that just irritated me more and confounded my misery, chewing on something that loses its taste quickly and becomes tastless and rubbery for jaw achingly ever, give me a tab Mr Rigley.
