Pičku!

[Keith Jordan]

Who will join me in the no smoking?????

Day 3 is almost over for me.

[Hudini]

Day 456 for me if my calculation is correct.

HANG IN THERE BOSS!

My dad has had strokes and still doesn't have the resolve. His dad died from lung cancer. Smoking will somehow kill me too I think.

[Keith Jordan]

Sorry to hear that, Duckboy. I will probably die of cancer or heart disease as that is on both sides of my family!

Day 4! I just had a nice bowl of marinated olives, artichokes and dried tomatos and they tasted good. That was in place of cigarettes. If I keep this up, I could be 30 stone by the end of the year!!!

[Hudini]

I don't know how much a stone is exactly, but I know that I gained over 10 kilos in the first six months. After that my weight remained on that level.

[rosm]

I lost cout, but I guess I'm somewhere around day 3,956... but I could be wrong...
I don't think I gained weight, I didn't replace smoking with something else. But I did quit with sugar in my coffee at the same time and started to take more walks. That might have helped.

Hang on Keith!

It's a funny thing, I quit chewing bubble gum when I quit smoking. I always had to use those to mask the bad breath in everyday human interactions and the damn things always annoyed me so much. Once I quit smoking there was no real reason for me to keep spending money on that crap.

I was toying with the idea of quiting last week...but, did not bother...

Maybe I will take a week holiday in September and quit...

Indeed, that is what I was doing also. I have carried on with the chewing as that is as much a habit as the smoking! haha Next week no gum.

In work, I have been on the Foxes Glacier Mints which I have been enjoying very much indeed. Every time I believe momentarily I "need" a smoke, I smile, take a Foxes Glacier Mint, unwrap and enjoy the fresh minty taste!

I knew I didn't want to see that... so why did I click the link?!?!??

I have tried to get INTO smoking but sadly never have had success. It just does nothing to me, I feel I little dizzy and that's about it. Find it quite boring. I prefer eating ridiculous amounts of pastries and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, which I guess is even worse for my health.

[JackRegan]

smoking....tried to give up? no, unless i win millions from lottery. i work my arse off five nights / week at the terminal warehouse. no time to even think quitting.

Hope you are still off the fags Keith. It is about day 12 for me. I still have the urge to smoke, but sheer will power is stopping me. I am eating far too many sweets and I have put on a bit of weight. It is too difficult to give up and try and lose weight at the same time - the latter will have to hold until I get through the non-smoking bit. I am determined to call myself a non-smoker, but at the moment I feel it is just a long break between ciggies.
