The Giving Up Smoking Thread!!

shinyhead

Very well done for deciding to quit DD.
Are you planning on using anything to help you or is it gonna be cold turkey?

Blackruby

Well I stubbed out my last fag about half an hour ago, so I am a non-smoker now. I'm going cold turkey, now to find that silk quit thingy.

Best of luck, we'll be here to help out.

Hi All

Just checking in to see how everybody is getting on?

Ive had a bit of tough time lately, after coming off the champix, i was hit hard with a bout of depression, still haven't smoked though! on meds for the depression now, so the battle continues!!

Great news about not smoking, not so good about the depression! Was it simply due to coming off the champix or was it due to something else? (its ok I don't want to know any details just curious as to whether the champix is causing it).

hi and welcome dd,blackruby your one of us now:T well done time will soon go.dd find a picture of the house you would like (and could afford without ciggs)and every time you feel like having a cigg look at it.read somewhere when the temptation gets really bad set fire to a fiver:eek: , because that is what we do each day we smoke ,i could no more do that as fly to the moon ,but spent 5 a day on ciggsgreat reality check that one .

i cant think of anything else that has triggered it to be honest, everything else in life is ok!

I know champix had the potential to cause problems before i took it, so i guess it was a risk ( as is anything these days). ( also a lot of people report no problems at all)

But if anything, its reinforced the non smoking, as there is no way i am going through this again.

:j Day Two, so far so good am feeling much better than yesterday.

Have been at work all day today, but still come home and managed to get a million things done (am not sure how I ever had time to smoke ha ha ha)

Hi All,

Thanks for the support, i know no one on here has ever been really mean to me but wasnt expecting you all to be so nice especially as i failed on here before.

Im going to give up in 2 weeks, im going to start cutting down now but Hubby and i are on holiday from the 1st and i never smoke when its just us so ive got from the 1st til the 12th away from work and smokers, if i have my last one on the 30th and dont start again that will be a whole 12 days without a fag, if i can last that long then im hoping i will be fine.:o

Im going to go cold turkey and go for the chewing gum option, when i get back to work it will be on to the dried fruit and cups of tea the same as last time.

Just have to cut down now and get it sorted, but then i keep telling myself this should be easy becuase its now Sunday night, ive not had a cig since friday evening and i feel fine, why cant i just keep it up?

Thank you everyone :T - will lurk until my day is here

Well puzzledbubbles as you well know this place is superb for a bit of moral support.....my OH think' s I will never be able to quit (he has seen me fail before) but this time I really mean it.

So the 1st of May is your big quit day good for you Think once you set a date in your head it give's you some focus.:T

Only on day two but am feeling mighty fine about it all at the mo......let day three roll on and see if I change my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:
