Haven't had a smoke since Sunday night. Using the patches, don't feel too bad but have been eating like ****. Anybody gave up smoking permanently?
I've been off them a year, no patches or **** all. I was playing 5's & 7's 3 or 4 times a week so the extra munching was fine, I then fked my ankle and couldn't play football and put on a stone, but I've lost that again through cycling to work and back. I thought it was easy as fk to stop to be honest. The boy in my office smokes and I fkin hate it now, **** sitting there coughing and spluttering away. Good luck though. I stopped for the weans, I'd have hated it if the grew up to be smokers because they saw me doing it.
Aye my two have been badgering me for the last couple of years. Need to stop before they are teenagers and think if their Da does it then it must be OK. You wanna hear my morning cough these last couple of months too ffs.
Well both you stopped for no good reason. None of my folks smoked and I smoke. Enjoy your rise in stress levels.
Quit cold turkey on the day of Celtic v rangers 2 1/2 years ago, as my missus said I couldn't do it, as I had said I was waiting til the day after as watching that was too stressful. So simply to prove her wrong I quit there and them. Been easier than I thought. Eating increased but I joined a gym. If you really want to quit you can, if you don't really want to, you won't.
Only pussy's get "stressed" It's all a state of mind, why would you get stressed from not breathing in carbon monoxide which collapses your veins, decreases your life span and ghapes you £7 a packet. Why would you get stressed at not stinking like an ashtray, of being able to go on long haul flights without having to power smoke 5 ***s in a row. Oh the stress...... Smoking is ****.
My first day off them, and we were on holiday. Me and her had a barney, and I stormed off, she goes to the kids, "Look, there he's away to buy his ***s!!" and I went to myself "am I ****!" 13 months later and the best part of £3k later...... still hate the bitch
I quit when the mrs was pregnant about 12 years ago, went for 20 a day to nothing, completley cold turkey. I do now however enjoy the odd joint at the weekends but dont crave tobacco anymore. I gave up when I had the hangover from hell of cheap vodka, so I knew I wouldnt be smoking on day one anyway. Seen many of my friends go through hell trying to quit, one of them is now addicted to one of those electronic substitues which costs him about £8.00 a week. You gotta wonder if its all worth it!
Aye because out of the 1 Billion plus smokers we all die a slow and painful death. What a diddy. Enjoy ****ting your knickers and getting bathed by an obese cow.
Smoking has been proved as a socially acceptable form of legal suicide. Let them get on with it I say. On the other hand, it is pleasureable, it will kill you early, but then at least you're spared the indignity of becoming a useless drain on society as an old ****er who nobody respects. It's true, nobody respects old people - they just get in the way. The generations from WW2 are almost gone... they were the only old ****s who deserved respect - they had cool stories about mankind's determination to kill itself, stories about hardship and ration books. The latest old farts just complain all the time and should be forced to smoke 60 ***s a day. <ironic>
I do not smoke indoors, I try to avoid smoking around non smokers, however, I smoke and would also smoke cannabis if I wanted too, along with drinking alcohol, because I choose to do what I want to do and not because some health freak, government interfering body says otherwise. The trouble is I am sure some non smokers think they are going to live for ever...well prepare yourself for a shock, because whether you smoke or not, you are going to ****ing die and that could be tomorrow, next week, next year etc but be certain it is going to happen! Ok, you might live 20 years longer than me. Although with my current age, some of you are going to have an almighty challenge to do that, while avoiding death by thousands of other means. You may not end up with knackered lungs but you will probably piss yourself on route to dying with someone having to wipe your arse. To be quite honest the stench that will be coming from you, your need to take up smoking to mask the smell. Anyway what do you plan to do with that extra 20 years that you think you are going to be living longer than me, in some old folks home, watching daily tv, going senile for ****s sake quick give me another cigarette - lol Eventually I will die and I will leave this boring **** of a sterile place behind so you can all live like big brother health clones, smelling like roses.
I quit about 21 months ago, cold turkey, it's a doddle after about 3 weeks. The cost was getting ridiculous: 25 ***s/day = £3k/year.
Quit 12 years ago, one of the best things I've done. Did it cold turkey. I do miss having a *** after sex (though that is only twice a year anyway lol).
