It sucks! More than I can say! Three days of HELL! If I don’t kill some one before the weeks out it will be a miracle. ****! Maybe I should try one o those patch things? I`ll probably try an eat it though! :(

Don't give up giving up :) it will be worth it in the end,
Just write down all the positive things about beeing fag free...
1 more money
2 breath better
3 no more wondering if you have enough money for fags
4 you wont stink like an ashtray anymore

etc etc maybe not in that order, but everytime you fancy one get the pen and paper out and make a list........:)

Does smoking a pipe count? Do you think it would be ok to smoke a pipe insted of cigs? I have a very expensive replica of Aragorns pipe from the Lord of the rings and its looking very tasty at the momment! I have some pipe bacca in my rally bag! Hmmmm! now theres a thought! :)

I had the perfect aid, watchin my mum die of lung cancer, and the rest of the family telling me they didn't want to watch me go thru the same thing.. tried the patches.....couldn't sleep, best way is no nicotine full stop.painful but it does get easier mr monkey...honest. :o

[Rogue Monkey]

Hmmmm! thats wot I is doing at the momment! Sorry to hear about your mum! :( I think i`ll keep at it! I know your right! I gave up for ten years once! Just seems harder the older you get! I`ve got the sleeping thing sorted! been pinching Mrs Monkeys sleeping tabs! Didnt go out last night cos I was in such a foul mood! went to bed at 11:00after necking two sleeping tabs! Thats gotta be a first! hence Im actualy up on a Sunday morning! Another First! Maybe I`ll go to the Kendo Club I`ve been meaning to join for the last year or so! :o

[cxdemon]

Well look at it this way, the older you get the less time you got to give up in? unless your Quiplain Dark of course and immortal! pipes count as well, sadly! still i got one for pointing out bits on interesting engineering stuff, flat cap next :eek:

[Rogue Monkey]

I think the thing that really got me was realising Bill Hicks eventually died of Cancer after making a name for himself as THE stand up comedian championing smokers and other drugs as opposed to alcohol which is clearly a dangerous and anti social drug! If it got him it could get me Thinks I! :eek: Plus of course I hate the thought of paying Blair and his cronies anymore than I already have to! :mad: Anyway! your post got me over a particularly bad momment this morn when I was deffinatly wavering! thanks Dude! :)

i tried the patches, they gave me hellish nitemares, worse than when holiday season starts here, and the tourists start arriving.

but i'm trying again as from yesterday to give up.

i had no prob giving up alcohol 15 years ago, and don't miss it to this day.
nicotine is a bit more of a bugger though

Go for it RM I've been trying for a few weeks now tried the patches ect, Doc told me to stop a 2 or 3 weeks ago now but i keep losing it, and he did not feck with his words, a few friends of mine [5 in all] have been down the hip-mo-tist road [only way i can spell it] and none of them have smoked since, so I'm thinking of giving it a go.
But if you can do it with sheer will power well done and i take me hat of to you ;)

Of those 5 peeps the longest being 5 months and the last to go is just coming up to 3 months.
The guy also told them to take vitamin C + zink and B-active for the first 6 weeks, I'm not to sure what it's for but mybe some of the peeps on site who work for the NHS will know???

Keep on going M8... just don't give in to it, and eventually it gets better....
I stopped 15 years ago.. and 99.99% of the time its fine and no problem at all, the other 0.01% is when i read something like this and it reminds me how hard it was and makes me want a smoke... bugger! :(

[Dougie]

Seconded!After I stopped the fags I tried cigars but they just made me look a prat.






Okay,even more of a prat than wot I normally do!
Seriously though,keep at it m8,you know it makes sense.

[Rogue Monkey]

I now have to admit that....after much wailing and gnashing of teeth I slipped a quick J! My personality changed like a fast thing that was going down hill with skates on! Now I am sereen! Before I was a jangling murderous psychopath! Smoking rools! :o well..........it does for me! :o Ive only had one though and anyone can slip up! :)
