Today is my last day as a smoker
Getting nervous but also just want to get on with it!

Been n got my patches , got my sweeties to suck and have had a big bar of choc waved at me for when i get through tomorrow... getting 'really' nervous!

goodluck Like Roymondo I've got to get myself in more a wanting to quit mode before I ever try though by the sound of it I'm a prety light smoker really

Its the added asthma thats mademy chest as bad as it is.. you are still a pretty heavy smoker.


Had my last fag about 10 pm ,can't get to sleep cos of my cold (blocked up cold etc) so im chewing through the sweets!

It's 3.47am and I find myself wanting a fag. Terrible really as the reason I'm still awake though desperately tired is the sodding cough with this cold!

well, I smoke ten or twelve a day pretty much, though I'l demolish a packet or two if I'm out drinking

Still not had a fag want one though! just have to keep reminding myself why I 'don't' want them ..and Ged's thrown everything smoking related here away anyway!
This cough/cold/whatever it is is making me feel miserable..can't sleep but so damn tired..

take a glass o water








ill have to do with

I'll have another lemsip in a bit

Can I give you a little hint San?

When you're craving for a fag...hold your breath for as long as you can (limited with your lungs, I know).

It tricks the brain into thinking you've had a fag because there is more carbon-dioxide in your blood stream and this is the same when you have a fag too.

I know I'm not one to talk about giving up...but I will....one day.

I've heard otherssay that too (about breath holding) so will give it a try!Not really had a proper bad craving yet,just keep going to reach for them n then getting frustrated when i remember theres none there..

It's the habit you need to kick...not the craving

Just wanted to wish you all the best with stopping smoking.

Remember, you're not actually giving anything up except a nasty filthy habit which makes you smell, feel and taste bad!


As I have no willpower, I'm impressed with anyone who gives it a go. I'm still one of those people with a nasty, filthy habit who smells, feels and tastes bad!

OK, except 2legs who, although he smokes, does not smell, feel or taste bad!

I do hate the smell of stale tobacco

One upside of stopping smoking, just think of the money you'll save on plug-in airfresheners!!!!

I hate stale tobacco smells as well!

Still going

Don't feel as bad as I thought I would at all. Have only had one really bad craving,started crying! earlier on..it soon passed though when I thought about something else.Despite being ill I'm already feeling a bit more alert and brighter , the colours coming back in my hands n feet too (can be a bit blue)
my only real worry is that all my willpower will vanish n I'll crack once Ged leaves for home on monday n I'm back to my own devices as it were..

Oo you can do it

I hope so


My treat tonight for going a whole day is a big bar of dairy milk with turkish delight filling and If I'm rid of this tickly cough tomorrow we're gonna go see land of the dead.
