Moderator Cynic Posted January 11, 2013 Moderator Posted January 11, 2013 well i am now on day 6 with no fags apart from a couple of dodgy moments i have managed to stay away from them yesterday was a good day as i was behind a woman in the co-op and she was stinking of stale fags then got to the front of the queue and looked at the price of them at the counter and walked out of the shop with a grin on my face firstly i do not smell like her and secondly never had to burst another tenner to get fags HAPPY DAYS Well done. Remember every victory you still have the tricky bit to do. Day 1 is the hardest.. Week 1 is hard but dooable Week 2 is not too bad as already the cravings should reduce. Week 3 and 4 are where most fail. At this point people think they have quit and. 'one wont hurt'. Oh yes it will. Smoking is the same as an alcoholic. Except in VERY rare people you cannot risk another fag. Even one and you will be back to sq 1. Good work so far. This is something that helped me. 90% of the price is TAX. Then you pay TAX on that with vat. Thats a good incentive for me.
shambles1980 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 told my wife i would stop, and put the money i spend on them in a jar for me.. not her not the baby.. me and my stuff.. According to my wife i am only allowed to put £4 a week in that jar.. i need more incentive than £4 a week
Moderator Cynic Posted January 11, 2013 Moderator Posted January 11, 2013 Then have another jar. Have a fag jar in the garage.
davie6711 Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Hey you're doing great! I've tried laods of times to stop, the best being 9 months. Champix did help to be fair and the side effect I had were weird but vivid dreams. I now have ciggies, expensive leccy fag and a nicorrette inhalator in an effort to at least cut down. It comes down to willpower and a real desire to stop which by the sounds of it you have. If you're tempted try and think what you've gone through so far and how bad you'd feel if you did really have one. Maybe a packet of Polo mints would also help. No, not by lighting the end! Have one every time you're really struggling. Anyways, keep up the good work and as you can see there are plenty of good people on here helping you along the path.
dillbarn Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I've done nearly 3 years without a single cigarette now. It's bloody hard to start with but I found that once I could smell the stale smoke on other people I was over the worst. I still spend the money so it hasn't made me any richer unfortunately!!! Keep it up though it's definately worth it.
up.yours Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 well done that man. keep on smelling them smelly women, but don't get caught.
bennyboy1 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 well.. 4 hours ago was exactly 2 weeks bloody struggling today for some reason, not sure why think i need to go to the shop and smell some smelly people ( without getting caught ) just to keep me put off just bought 2 new tyres for my car which my fag money for the last 2 weeks paid for why are all the good things in life so expensive FAGS DRINK WOMEN ? PETROL GUZZLING MACHINES
mike1949 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 why are all the good things in life so expensive and not good for you (just added this) FAGS DRINK WOMEN ? PETROL GUZZLING MACHINES and not good for you (just added this) Like all the things you shouldn't eat. chocolate, cakes, biscuits, crisps, burgers, cheese, bacon, sausages, pizzas, butter, dripping, fried bread, English breakfast, I'm sure I have missed a few, I know this isn't exactly what this topic is about but I thought I would put it in anyway.
Jonnyingram Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 I stopped 20 years ago made up my mind and after the first week never even wanted one. I smoked 40 rollies golden virginia a day. I cant stand the smell of fag reek.
Moderator DirtyDT Posted January 20, 2013 Moderator Posted January 20, 2013 Well done and keep it up bennyboy1 The only reason I smoke is so that up.yours doesn't sit next to me as I am a smelly smoker.

bennyboy1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 chewing on a pencil and basically just twirling it around probably end up with arthritis in my fingers and lead poisoning
littlej Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Yesterday saw 5 years since i quit smoking. I did it by hypnotherapy. Missus still smokes so everything i buy myself is convered to fag prices. Bought a drill, she moaned. My reply was that it cost 12 days fags. Fair does though, she only smokes out side rain or shine. But she still stinks from them
mike1949 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Well done littlej, Are you a Yank or a Brit?
