Ive not smoked for over 6 weeks as both the wife and I are trying to save up for a trip to Africa with Nduna safaris. In the last 6 weeks Ive lost my mum. Thats probably got to have been the worst time in my life, but yet I managed to stay focused and didnt smoke. But today has got to be the worst day yet... Im about ready to say f it and go n buy a packet of smokes.... In the past few weeks Ive had a good drink, those who know me will know what exactly what I mean and havnt touch a smoke.. But yet today Im fit to burst....

Stick at it Nutty, i was talking with a fella yesterday who had downloaded an app on his phone which told him to the second how long he had been off them and how much cash he had saved which was well over a grand.
 
stick with it neebs.

don't give in, been off them now for 9 years and o so much better, also been of the drink for the best part of 13 years (apart for slip up on a mates stag night) and im glad coz when my wee girl needs a kidney in the next 6 months i hope im able to be a match for her.

keep going.

all the best

bob.
 
Don`t do it mate.
If you can survive loosing your mum and not smoke you can survive anything.
It`s hard i know, i`ve not smoked for six and a half years but it will be worth it in the end.
Keep saying no.
 
I stopped myself about 5 months ago, hang in there nutty, it isnt easy, just dont keep thinking about them, I can smell a fag from a 1000yds now, something nice about it but it also smells bloody awful too, I wont go back to it, I had 30 odd years at it and hopefully ive no lasting damage.atvb swaro

About the same as you mate but I gave up for financial reasons.
No good moaning you're broke all the time and spending £60 + a months on roll-ups!
 
I smoked almost 3 packs a day up until I quit. What did it for me? I got ****ED OFF at some little bit of weed wrapped in paper telling me when I could go to bed, where I ate, what I spent my money on, and the damned things made my clothing, car, and breath stink. I thought, "What kind of wuss lets himself be pushed around like that???" Decided it wasn't me. That was 32 years ago.

Don't do it. You'll hate yourself if you do.~Muir

(PS: Even now, on cool mornings with a cup of coffee in my hand, I mentally reach for that phantom pack of cigarettes. Don't be discouraged by the persistence of the urge....dismiss it.)

When you get the urge it should only last a few minutes. Its at this point I found it was very important to focus and repeat in your mind" I'm not going to give in to this " keep saying this to yourself the urge then passes. These "attacks" should become less frequent as time goes by.Dont give up .
 
Nutty,

I stopped around 13 years ago. I would love a cigar after a nice expensive meal; but I dont, it scares me to think that only one draw will make me start again.

Only yesterday I talked my wife into starting the electronic ones. Yes they still cost, but the tar and other nasties are not there. Already she prefers the taste.

Stick with it, there are a huge amount of reasons to stop......do you have kids................thats all you need!
 
Cheers lads reading the replies helped me through 1 hell of a tough day.. Todays another day and yesterday is behind me.

Hold the line Nutty, you've done 6 weeks and you are now through the worst of it (having been there mysel). Tabs are probably the most addictive and pernicious drug there is - try not to go back. Think, you'll live longer, be better off and get an African safari trip - awesome.

Bob, thank you for sharing your inspiring story, very best wishes to you and your daughter

Great post. I still look back with fond memories to when I was a full time contract cutter. Before i put my second fill into my saw, rain, gale or shine i would sit on a tree stump, take a brew out of my flask and roll up a nice smoke. Happy days.

that was 25 years ago - ba$tard tabs
 
Nutty the further along you get, looking back over the growing amount of time without a smoke.......... would you start again?, I don't think so, talking about it proves it mate.
 
John it does get easier mate, stopped for three years now, not smoked since my heart attack, do I miss it you bet I do, really miss my smoke , but knew I had to.

Many people who try to give up are half hearted about it, you really need to want to stop and if you do want to you can.

If I can do it after smoking for about forty years so can you.
