The Giving Up Smoking Thread!!

Morning Everyone and well done to you all!

MFD there must be a problem with that machine, if your not smoking though at least you know it must be wrong.

I have finally reached day 21! I am so pleased with myself. Only thing is though I've caught dreaded man - flu off my Husband and I feel so ill (thought he was exaggerating over how ill he was!).

Morning all.. how's everyone feeling today?

MFD.. you know you've stopped, we know you've stopped so that's what counts? Machines... pah... where would they be without us, they know nothing

On day 5 now and much better than yesterday.. still feel like my heads in a vice but don't feel sick today

Hi feedumall .. good luck with the quitting, congrats on day 4:T

Morning all - thanks for the support, I needed it!!!

The best thing about it was that I didn't have that overwhelming urge to have a cigarette that I normally get when I am struggling to cope with something (if I am sad or if I am pee'd off). There was a time when I would have been battling with myself to keep me from going straight to the shop but that didn't happen. Well done me :T

hello newbies - come on in and join in the fun

Too many things to remember - congrats to all on your significant dates :T

Hi to the newbies. Go and look at the first post for some useful stuff

I’m on day two so far, 36 hours since my last smoke, :T using Champix since 21st March, haven’t really noticed it helping although it probably is, recorded 15 strong cravings yesterday which peaked after the footy!

Feeling very weepy today-which isn’t good for a 6ft tall burly bloke!!

I know what you mean MFD, in the past when I have been mad, upset etc I would just have had a smoke to calm down.

To be honest I have been through a lot of !!!!!! at work this last week, if I was smoking I would have been smoking double what I normally did.

Instead though in these hard situations I've calmed down by thinking well it could be worse....I could be smoking!

Hope I make sense!

hi doltage - welcome

weep away - you won't be the first or the last and at least we can't see you

Well done on making it to day 2 :T , can't promise it will get easier in the short term but one day it will.


Are you doing anything to get you through the cravings??? deep breathing, chewing gum etc???
