jojododd

Thanx for your kind words Larmy16. I feel like Ive eaten everything in sight tonight!!! Im due to change my nicorrette patch soon. Im on patches and inhalator. I used to smoke 40 a day somtimes 50 if I was having a particularly bad day.:eek: I honestly dont know how I could afford it! New year new me Im going first and foremost give up and as an added benefit pay my debts off with the extra cash:A.

Tippytoes, my thoughts are with you, what a load of nonsense! I can't believe they can leave you suffering like that!! Do you have any other numbers you could try?

Hi everyone:D and welcome jojododd you have most definatley come to the right place, so much support will be on hand, also just coming on and reading the posts really helps too! I too started out with patches but they dont agree with me bring me out in a rash:mad: so just going cold turkey now and its been ok for the last couple of days!
Hope you are ok tippytoes if you got through yesterday then that is a massive acheivment, I really hope you did, but if you didnt just call it a blip and get back on those patches as soon as you get them!
My silkquits stats say that Ive saved £43 already cant believe it! Im not saving the money or gonna treat myself to anything (except good health) just noticing that there are not tenners taken out my account every couple of days to go and buy fags by the end of the month I should b able to buy a weeks messages (groceries) with the amount Ive no spent on fags!!
Had a busy old day at work this morn and my job is usually quite stressful, but this morning I found myself being remarkably chilled with everything:cool:. I love this stop smoking it makes you feel AMAZING.

Hi all! I just came across this board, what a fantastic place to get lots of positivity and support from fellow quitters.

I'm a trained stop smoking advisor with the NHS in London, so if anyone is in need of any information or advice, please do get in touch. I would be more than happy to assist.

Best of luck!

:hello: Hi everybody

I've taken the plunge and finally ventured into the No Smoking zone _party__party_:T
As a DFW, i can't believe how much cigarettes cost! :mad:
My bid to get my health back on track started at the end of November when I joined slimming world again. Lost 5.5lbs so far and joined the gym yesterday to kick start my weight loss for the new year :j:T and make it so i can run for the bus without having some kind of heart attack :o
Of course, quitting smoking has crossed my mind before, but I never took it too seriously.

Hopefully, you guys can kick my up the butt when I feel like lighting up.:D

Hello everyone I would love to join you in stopping smoking. I'm going cold turkey with help from Allen Carr's book. So far not bad. I am going through motions in my head but I'm still strong and don't let the nicotin take over.
I will be so gratefull for a bit of support to kick this awful habit/addiction.

Good Luck to everyone and Well Done to you guys that did it.

Happy New Year folks

Have been thinking that i will pop on here a bit more for a little while, i definately benefitted from having some of the old non smokers around so i will be here for advice and things when i can

Hope everyone is doing well, remember you arent depriving yourself of anything by quitting, ever fag you dont have is a move towards a healthier you!

My top tip of the day - buy your favourite fresh fruit or vegetables 2 days after your last fag, bet you it will taste so much better than it did pre-stopping
