They say its done in threes, 3 days, 3 weeks, months years etc. Not sure about that but keep up the good work, gave up myself in 04 havn't looked back. Unfortunately for me now saying goodbye to beer, been 10 days (getting to fat) not sure how much longer I can last.
Yeah, the problem is now I wake up after a big night on the pi55 and feel good and want to drink more...LOLOLOLQuote:

I have been giving the old scotch bottle a bit of a touch up so I should survive
My missus use to smoke all day, 2 packs a day usually, I was getting sick of it (I'm not a smoker never was) anyways, I had long hair 2 years ago nearly down to my arse, missus hated my hair that long lol so I said if you stop smoking ill cut all my hair into size 4, she stopped few days after and I didn't do it straight it just in case. After 2-3 weeks later, I said to missus, still want me to cut my hair, she said naa its ok Im glad I gave up. that was back in december 2009, cutted my hair 18 months later LOL last year august just after my daughter was born. She realise that she saved $120 a week easily now or more.
She gets tummy aches when she goes near them now
I heard cold turkey are good or toothpicks hanging out of your mouth quits smoking but who knows lol
good for you mate keep it up sunshine unfortunetly you still have cravings its been 3yrs for me nowQuote:

Probably doesn't help all my flat mates smoke but lets not make excuses! lmao
Smokes took a 15% hike in price this year in NZ so that's why I wanted to cut back because affording them is becoming harder, however I find I just still enjoy smoking too much. A smoke and a coffee is something I look forward to in the mornings and that's what gets me out of bed lol
It's a mental battle and I admire the folks who have given it up, keep it up.

Anyone, trying to give up don't give up the fight
3 guys from work gave up 8 to 12 months ago, and havent touched one since, they all used tablets (champex) prescription from doc's and has worked a treat.
I know i keep saying it but not getting any younger and not gettin any cheaper....lol but this year is the one for me to give the habit the kick.
Just dont know when yet, but it will happen
Mate i did the hypno, no worries, yell out if ya want a phone no. and good luck with it mate, its definately worth kickin the filthy litl buggersQuote:

best time to do it is NOW get the number of growlers tonite and ring in the morning
I gave up 14 years, 6 months, 29 days 4 hours and 30 mins ago and I'd still like a drag. I used the patches and built model cars, to have something for my hands to do, kept away from the pub and club for about 6 months and changed my coffee drinking habit, always had a smoke with my coffee. Had the smoking dreams for around 6 months and put on a fair bit of weight, but I'm sure I'm a lot healthier than I would have been otherwise.
Looking back on it I reckon I have saved around $15 a day (in today's money), that's around $80,000. Now I know how I can afford to have and run my truck :smile:
It's an horrendous amount of money when you think of it that way hey??? Bloody Nora!!Quote:

No such thing as a healthy smoke I know, but to me I think mine is habitual and I have an "addictive" personality - I like em so I Hoover em ...
That said, they ARE going and sooner rather than later for me ...
I want to quit i have a box of nicotine patches that has been sitting here for 4 months.
I find patches and chewing gum kill the cravings but then when i stop wearing patches it all comes back.
My mate just bought a carton of 250 winfields duty free for $30 i pay the same for 50.
Might go see the doctor and try that stuff tablets have to be easier then patches
It is strange how the mind (mine anyway) works as yesterday I was going to the Pub after Work and as I was going out the Door I patted my Pockets to check that I had my Cigarettes.
This is after 2 1/2 Years of not Smoking
Strange
Hard to break old habits hey!
