Smoking advice "Help Needed"

[John Callon]

Keep it up Graham. I stopped just over 3 years ago, once the first week was over it just got easier by the day. As many others have said you start to get an acute taste of food and drink back. For me it was the taste of a cup of tea - could not stand the taste of it which I found hard to believe after drinking thousands and thousands of cups over the years. Thankfully it only lasted a couple of days and now drink gallons of the stuff. On a more serious note nothing would induce me to have a cigarette again, and besides the extra money means I can buy a bottle of Bacardi whenever I wish (which is often). Good luck.
Regards,
John

Congratulations mate, well done. When I gave up I began eating bags of peanuts, but after a while gave that away as well as the weight began to rise. Just hang in there and never ever give up.

Put a sign on the fridge: "I will not smoke today!!"
When you go to bed, change the sign for: "Great, I did not smoke today and feel better for it!!"
The next day, repeat the process.
After 7 days, you should be able to stop putting silly bloody signs on the fridge!
You probably won't feel like a smoke either.
It's a one day at a time process.

Our "No smoking" cash box paid for our cruise and we are off to Sharm-el Sheik in two weeks for some winter sun. £70 per week in cash, soon mounts up and yet we used to set fire to it, in the form of ciggies! Stick to it and smell the coffee!
