Ha ha, can't say it entered my thinking but I'll take it. I go on holiday on that day so I just figured it best to stop on a week where I'll have other stuff to occupy my mind

Good luck!

@Megatron1505:

Smoking ends on August 9th. That is all.

Thats great Gav

I quited smoking after 17years heavy smoking on 31 dec 2008 one day to the other half a year after i quited drinking alcohol from one day to the other. Since then nada mas.

I have not a problem when people drink or smoke in front of me though

You got this Gav! Good idea finding other things to occupy yourself. Take up a light workout regimen that you can do anywhere for when cravings hit, the extra blood flow really helps curb cravings.

Thanks guys, it's a weird thing but I go all day at work every day without even thinking about smoking. This tells me that my smoking is a psychological dependence, which is easier to deal with for me.

As opposed to what, something that forces you to go back to those Mansfield corners giving 1£ handjobs?..

Someone make a "stiff competition" joke whilst we're at it, not trying to be cocky but y'know…

[Megatron1505]

Quit day is today, I will read this thread for inspiration, decision is made.

^Congrats brother, best of luck with conquering that demon.

[Finn666]

[zwer]

Did you try reading the Carr book again?

I know you can do it, mate….

[Megatron1505]

Thanks guys, no books, no patches, no e-cigs…..just not doing it any more

Gav, I smoked a pack a day for 10 years. I've also quit a thousand times…it's easy!

The only way that worked for me was to quit cold turkey and never touch nicotine again. No cigars, no ecigs, no hookah, no social smoking even one cigarette. I've been nicotine free for 4 years now and it gets easier and easier every day.

You can do it! If you need any pointers, let me know.

[Megatron1505]

Thank you brother, I might just do that.

[Seul]

Just smoke. Cause y'know: too many people on this rock anyway.

Smoke!..

Trying to better ones self can be a nightmare when your problems are spurred on by someone. Even more so when you're permanently attached. Letting go of it becomes nearly impossible with every dig they take, but you have to, and yet don't know how. While I haven't fallen completely backward, I find myself stress smoking (keep at it Gav) even though I really hate it. I keep hearing this will get easier, but I lack the foresight.

[Megatron1505]

A month after failing to quit smoking I'm quitting smoking again. It's been a good ride 

[derivative666]

Smoking was never difficult for me to quit. I smoked a pack day for years. One day I decided no more and that was it. Keep at it Mega your mind is stronger than you think.
