Stopping smoking - yes again!

La_Tristesse_Durera

Argh.

Well that's it. I've been trying to give up for 10 months or so now. No chance at all though. On a positive note I've cut down from around 25 per day to around 8 per day.

My problem is, that I like smoking, I like it for breakfast, for mid morning, lunchtime, evening, when I'm stressed, when I'm happy.

As much as I do want to quit, I don't want to quit that much, if that makes sense...

We went down the road to a Pub with Son and Girlfriend. They both smoke :mad: so sat in the Bar for nearly 2 hours. Everywhere I looked somebody was smoking. :mad: It smelt horrible!!!! :mad: :mad: You could taste the smoke in the air. :mad: I decided that I had had enough. Normally would get a Taxi home but decided that we would walk the 2 miles to help get rid of the smell and to get some fresh air.

Next time we go out with Son and GF we will go to a Non Smoking Pub :cool: They can put up with not smoking for 2 hours.

I haven't quite stopped completely yet, but on friday I did a mystery shop in a pub near us, It was SO smoky in there I didnt want to eat my dinner! We just did wht we had to and left as quickly as poss!

when i got home i stuck my stinking clothes straight in the washing machine!

Maybe I am getting closer to being a non smoker after all!!!

Hi everyone, mind if i join you?

I'm stopping smoking today, put a patch on this morning so that's a couple of hours already....

I've tried before but gave in after a couple of days, hopefully this time i'll be able to stick to it .

Good luck everyone.

Thank you skintasusual, hopefully when i'm having a "down" moment i'll be able to come on here and take my mind off things a little.

This time i'm determined .

Babes21 do as I do and count the hours in 3 days I will be at 1500 hours. Just take each day at a time or hour at a time. It will all add up. :j

Don't do what I have done and replace the weed with Malteesers. My waist is starting to explode. :eek:

But the good news is that I can start running tomorrow as my torn Calf muscle has healed. :T

5 inches too lose in 119 days before 3 weeks cruising in the Caribbean. :j :j :j

I really noticed it the other night at the pub. I was only there for a couple of hours but my eyes were streaming and my clothes and hair stank (really noticeable the next morning).
