The Giving Up Smoking Thread!!

PS well done skintnow!! Looking out for your posts especially, to see how you're getting on. So far so good!! Get yourself a book and pen by the bedside to jot down some of the dreams... there could be a good novel in there somewhere!!

MELBURY- Well Done- wow 5 weeks- can you believe we've come so far !! You're so right- I would have hated myself if I'd given in. It was so hard, was nearly in tears...

LURKIO- Good morning sir, how are we today ? :wave:

I know - if it wasn't done with so much friendliness and practicality it would get annoying

I am well, good lady . How are you?

I have my training route planned! Down to the Tower, across Tower Bridge and back up the other side and across London Bridge. Reckon its about a mile and a half, so if I don't post after Monday, that's where to send the paramedics :rotfl:

melbury - when I have a bit more time I will explain to you why AC is right. JoeHel has pretty much covered it (:rolleyes: ), but I'll add my two pennorth at some stage. Meantime, think about which part of smoking you 'enjoyed'. Taste? Smell? or wass it just that it scratched the itch?

By the way - and this is meant to give you encouragement rather than anidle boast. My anniversary today, too. I now have not smoked for a whole 18 months :j :j . I was a confirmed smoker, so if I can do it, I know for a FACT that you all can too

Have a great Friday
Lurky

Morning all, and Happy Friday!
Day 23 for me today.
I'm amazed I've come this far, and so are the friends I bump into and tell!

Lurkio - there's some good advice on the internet about starting/restarting running. I've got a 6 week plan that I printed out yesterday (and now can't find...) that gradually builds up to running 5k.

Basilcat - well done on 1 month. What a great feeling, I bet you're soooooo pleased that you didn't cave in the other night.

Well done to everyone else who's done a whole month too.

Come on Skintnow - tell us about some of these dreams....

Thanks for the tip, Boatie. If it is the 'couch to 5k running plan' I have found it and printed it!

And extremely well done getting to day 23!! :T :T

Woah there people !!! send me the link then !!

Well done MELBURY for 23 days- I know, my friends can't believe it either ! My sister rings me every day to ask me if I've smoked (yet)... she wasn't very encouraging at first as she's a smoker- but when I told her about my 'wobble' she said 'you can't give in now!! you are doing so well !!' She'll be next- lure them in...

LURKS- Woweeee !!! 18 months- this is for you on your anniversary - a massive well done !!! :bdaycake: :dance: :grouphug:

Thanks Bas - I can't quite believe it myself

the site I went to was coolrunning dot com. In there is a 'couch to 5k running plan'. Sounds ideal for me

Hi everyone! Firstly just a massive well done to everyone here, its such a hard thing to do, and you're all so friendly and encouraging to each other. I've been "lurking" for a week now, been on the Champix for nearly 3 weeks and am 5 days smoke free!! Woo me! I have though had a chest and throat infection which meant I would have smoked less anyway, but 've still been craving! (How bad is that??) Now I'm on the mend, and dreading the weekend! Am on antibiotics so can't drink, so that should lessen the temptation but still.... Sucking sweets, polos and munching biscuits just doesn't hit the spot!

keep going bev, youre doing great so far! x
