Christie Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Best thing I found was reading Alan Carr's book it worked for ages on me (damn bad will power) I really recommened it though I am almost done with it again if you want a ready pakage?

Pakage Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 if you want a ready pakage? oh i got a ready pakage.. but i wouldnt mind reading it if you can spare it.. hmm.. i dunno, i think i might actually be in the right state of mind to just do this shit eh. Im pretty over feeling like shit all day every day coz my lungs are coated with about 3 cups of tar.. I had a patch on for most of yesterday. Havent got one on today, and i feel ok. :armata_pdt_07: dont think ill come to safari tonight, just to try and put it out of my sight for a little bit.

Richard M Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Yeah... I back Allen Car all the way... I'm on 10 months going on the rest of my life NO SMOKING~!!! It's a real eye opener of a book... but you're gonna have to start smoking again so you can read the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 P.s. another thing I found really helpful - tell people you are a non smoker and keep saying I am a non smoker (not that you are quitting) puts you in a different mind frame soon enough people will stop offering yu them because you are a non smoker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakage Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 i took that advice from last time christie notice how i said "Ive Quit" not "Im Quitting" walking around town was a pretty bad idea.. seemed like every 2nd freakin person was blowing smoke up in my goddam face :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Known One Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 the warning about the patches being lethal to young children if not noticed in time is hardout Reminds me of "Thank you for smoking" when they try to kill that guy with Nicoteine patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobotomy Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 its all about gradually quitting the effect that quitting does to your body straight away is pretty shit start by quitting during the week and/or limiting your smokes to a limit per day then smoke less during the weekends (like during the day) then it will be easier to quit overall decrescendo your smoking if you get my drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robyn Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 As you can tell I'm an expert at giving up smoking *coughs up a lung* but when I did give up for a bit I found lots of exercise helpful. In the beginning it reminds you that smoking seriously diminishes your lung capacity (as you almost die on a cross-trainer or some such device) which is a good incentive not to smoke and once you are fitter you don't really wanna ruin all your hard work by smoking again.

Dold Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Try replacing the habit with something else. Say whenever you feel like a smoke, go suck on a lollipop instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakage Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 i cant deal with the gradual thing.. i cant control how much i smoke, im like all or nothing aye. Im currently getting fit, this is my 2nd week running and working out, and i am feeling much better for it. Exercising this evening when i got home from work definately relieved a lot of my built up tension/anxeiety.. and kyuss.. lolipops just arent cool man, do i need to remind you of this: click me but i hear ya.. ill find something to do.

Sentient Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I cut down hard and started exercising at the same time. Worked a treat. Now I only smoke when I'm mashed in some form or another. Good luck cuz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
