Smoking advice "Help Needed"

[Jim Brady]

Hi Graham,I'm glad to hear that you and your good lady are still off the fags.I am off them 12 months and as Neville said I still feel like a smoke. the funny thing is it does'nt bother me when I am out having a pint which I expected to be the worst time.I think the idea of having to go and stand outside in the wind and the rain helps.I think the biggest incentive not to smoke is not having to go and pay the ridiculous price for them and instead to have that money in your pocket or the bank even. Keep up the good work.
Regards.

As Chairman Mao once said , "The Journey of a thousand miles starts with just one step".

Oh Captain!

"The journey...." written by the Chinese philosopher Laozi c. 604 bc - c531 bc. Some attribute the saying to Confucius c 551- c 479 bc.

You were close though...Moe was Chinese too.

Enjoy your trip and congratulations to all who quit.

Regards Rodney.

Hi all.
I just wondered how the lads who said they were going to stop smoking are getting on.
Have you succeded? or have you gone back to the habit?
Cheers

A very good question Capt!
I sincerly hope that all will have succeeded in quitting,adter watching some of the really graphic adds here on TV ,that alone would have detered me from the habit!
But for some i know its very diffucult!
One blessing is that my wife Irene stopped ,it was hard but she got there and hasnt touched a Fag now for almost 2 Years! I am so gratefull.
And She is feeling and looking so much better too!
Cheers

Stick with the quit program Lads!

My situation is this.I packed in 12 months march gone,I dont have a problem when I am out having a pint the last thing I want is a smoke,I'm delighted about that.The problem has been the last few weeks I have been craving for a smoke when I'm at home, whilst I have no intention of going back on them and smoke as I did before I did need that cigarette to satisfy my craving. I bought half ounce and I may have one smoke per day and that satisfies me,I think that i
I needed to do that and I think this will stop me going on them as before.My family dont know I have the odd drag so when I went out today for my paper I had a roll up.My wife is in all day today so I will not be having another smoke today.I f I went back on them I know that I would be letting my family down as the were highly delighted when I packed them in.If I can stick to the odd one now and again which I realy enjoy I will be quite happy with that,going back to paying over £20 pw no chance.
Regards.

thats good Jim but watch out one may lead to another , Im off them now for 4 years after 54 of smoking .I found an old ciggie stump in my garage and tried it wow almost coughed my head off .I still have the urge now and then but as you say I think of the $$$$$ .

Jim,
The only way that I found was to pack in Completely, and it worked for me, I guess it works differently on others.
Eventually try missing a day and so on
Good luck with it
