Pipster007 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 I was lucky when my old man caught me nicking his smokes when i was 66 or 16 Well done Tom on giving up. If you feel like a ciggy, go and have a w**k instead.....................That's what I'd do and I'm a 30 a day man. Plus, I've never smoked
Toby Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 I would say well done, but to be honest the less smokers there are the more the government will have to take from us non-smokers!! Well done though mate, I know it's hard my sister and her fella can't kick it they're always trying. Guys at work have managed and used the "pennies in the jar" method, just pop a fiver in your back pocket everytime you would buy a pack, you'll soon be sitting on a wad and you'll get a trick bit for the car, or a holiday out of it before you know it. Keep at it

285Andy Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 i quit over 2 years ago. and in all honesty, its the best thing ive ever done for myself bar none dont get me wrong, it aint easy at first! i couldnt sleep properly for about 2-3 weeks odd but i went all hyper active and got shit loads done at work (back to normal now though.... slacking and drinking tea) i work with a smoker all day and it was difficult to cope first off as he's the sort of geeza that will do somthing even more if he gets moaned at about somthing. and also like when the govement smoking ban came in, its made him smoke more i swear!! still, all the time he's coughing up that gold watch, it makes me glad i quit all the best mate! stick at it
Tom Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 another day done without a smoke - even did some exercise!!!!! seriously tho you guys are really helping, its like a smokers anonymous meeting without the flickering lights and crap tea
surfingturnip Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 another day done without a smoke - even did some exercise!!!!! seriously tho you guys are really helping, its like a smokers anonymous meeting without the flickering lights and crap tea well done mate, keep it up
bomber1 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 well done fella tho i dont realy understand the smoking thing cos i never have done?
Toby Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 even did some exercise!!!!! I was going to suggest that, should make you want to go back to it less.
Tom Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 Yeah mate i got the old mountain bike out and did 8 miles! first time in about 3 years. now my under carriage hurts savings so far - £30
Admin Mk2Jo Posted February 24, 2008 Admin Report Posted February 24, 2008 I find a chewing gum helps mate. When you fancy one, bust a move with the wrigleys When I gave up my 40 a day habit 8/9 years ago now (can't remember exactly ) I went onto Wrigley's chewing gum It deffo helped but I couldn't have had a pack in my pocket with me - that does take willpower - I had to get rid of everything, ashtrays, lighters, the lot Keep going Tom .... you will get back 10 years of your life
Tom Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Posted February 24, 2008 Wow Jo i never new you were a smoker - i dunno why i kept them in my pocket i found it easier having them there. It was like a comfort thing, i knew that if i wanted one i could have one, i even found another fresh pack in my work coat today its been there 7 weeks and i think i'll just leave em there or sell them when i want some more chocolate
Mad Mex Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 tying to give up, 2 days now is really hard as both my folks smoke n most of my friends aswell!!!! went out on the lash last night first time not smoking!!!!! was odd at first but got so drunk i didnt care!
Toby Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Yeah mate i got the old mountain bike out and did 8 miles! first time in about 3 years. now my under carriage hurts savings so far - £30 1/2 an Ally hub in the bag!! I had a mate at work who's son did the London to Brighton bike race. He asked his son, chossing his words carefully in front of his daughter, so um......does your er....um.....bum hurt? His son replied yEEEEEr! And me bo!!ox are killing me!!
Pipster007 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Yeah mate i got the old mountain bike out and did 8 miles! first time in about 3 years. now my under carriage hurts The undercarriage pain only last's for the first month After that, you get "Balls of Steel" Note :- Don't ever go and see Danielson. I saw him to claim back £12 for Ford Fair and ended up spending £2,500 on a new bike
Tom Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Posted February 25, 2008 some of us aren't rich like you tho pip so i think i'm safe Its getting easier by the day now, i barely even thought about it today
Wessie Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 nice work tom the only smoke you should be craving for is of the tyre variety
Tom Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Posted February 25, 2008 fook that, 20 of those a day would be well expensive!!!
