smoking,,....anybody tried to give up?

[mosespa]

Sunday, November 26, I finished a pack of cigarettes and decided I was too lazy to go buy another pack.

Aside from one cigarette that I bummed from a friend at a bar the following Friday, I've not smoked since.

Keith, perhaps you and I should form a support group.

[Keith Jordan]

Yes, a support group sounds good! I propose we spend the money we save on cigarettes on more alcohol!! It only seems fair!!

1st Dec and counting!!!!! OMGOMGOMG!! Tomorrow will be the test when I go out to watch my mates band in Liverpool and everyone will be smoking.... except me because I DON'T SMOKE! I AM A NON-SMOKER!

[Damn!t]

I DON'T SMOKE! I AM A NON-SMOKER!

Great!
Now we'll have a nervous recently-quit-smoking admin.
Folks...shut it now for some time.
Moom...take a looong vacation.

I quit every friday on the way to the pub .... then after 2 pints i am smoking again ...

i dont smoke during the week .. or i should say when i havent got a drink in my hand
so i smoke about twice a week like a twat !!! i smoke roll ups aswell .. cos i used to smoke cigs years ago then i stopped and just smoked weed like a chimney then about 3 year ago i stopped smokin weed... so now i just smoke the roll ups when i have a pint or 15
i think the actual making of the cig is half of the addiction, (through smokin about 20 joints a day for years)

i didnt buy any the other week on pupose to see what i'd do, it just made it worse knowing i didnt have any if i needed it .. i ended up smokin about 10 cigs of my mates and my throat was a bit rasp the day after

I WILL GIVE UP

Be an individual, Keith...stand apart, mate

Be proud of being different.

[Keith Jordan]

Thank you for the motivational talk!! I shall indeed stand apart as an individual! I havent smoked since 1st Dec. I am a non-smoker! Day 5!!!

Congrats! I to am a non smoker except when I drink bourbon. I don't drink much so I don't smoke much. At my age I really need to take care of myself.
I encourage anyone who is currently smoking to quit now. Not only is it wrecking your health but the cost of it has gone past ridiculous to insane.

I once quit smoking for 9 months.
I had a bet with my soon to be mrs. Damn!t. She whas at uni then.
So I promised that I'll quit if she'll pass a taugh anorganic chemistry exam.
...of course...she passed... and with the highest grade if i remember.
So I quit smoking...
...anyway, by the end of that 9 months, I whas ready for a mental institution becouse my body whas finishing that first detox process and I really felt like mr. Hyde whas gonna burst any second out of me.
I whas really loosing my mind.

...so I started again. And I'll never again gonna make that kind of bet...thats for sure.

Im off them since 17th April this year (almost 8months) ..... having a new baby at home was the kick in the arse I needed

[snifferdog]

Well done to y'all who've given up and are trying to stay off. I've got crap asthmatic lungs so I never started in the first place but it's great to see people making the effort.

[Keith Jordan]

Oh dear, I went out last night and smoked 15! Back to square one!

[flashback]

I'm in the process of trying to quit them now,it's a bitch

[Damn!t]

Oh dear, I went out last night and smoked 15! Back to square one!

Well done!

I had real problems giving up, so I read a book called "Giving Up Giving Up".
It worked a treat and now I smoke like a good 'un!

I once quit smoking for a whole year. I can't remember how on Earth I managed to do that, but I know by the end of that year I got fat as a pig. Then I started smoking again and lost about 25 kg in a couple of months. Now I'm fine with my 75.
