Well done, keep it up, it’s well worth it ! I gave up a few years ago and the first two weeks are hell but it gets easier after that :slight_smile:

Congratulations on getting this far! The first month is the hardest, but if you really want to give up it’s not that bad. I had my last smoke on the 7th April after more than 30 years of a 30-40 a day habit, and am loving being smoke free. Keep up the good work.

Well done, I stopped smoking 4 years ago and I hate smoking now. Stick with it, it does get easier!!

Good work, keep it up :slight_smile:

You should think “I am a non smoker” not “I’m quitting” :smiley: Congrats at this far

Stick in there mate, I smoked for 10 years then gave up about 9 years ago, best thing I ever did.
Really hate the smoke now !

Well done! Keep it up - you will feel so much better. (try and get the family off them as well - it’s harder to give up if you live with smokers + it will be good for their health).

I smoked for years and tried to give up a few times but kept coming back - eventually something just clicked and I thought - you know what - I don’t enjoy this any more - (don’t like the taste, makes me feel ill) and I just knocked it on the head and have never gone back (excepting the odd every 6 months cadging one down the pub - usually after a few beers when my judgement goes out of the window - always regret it the next day).

  • you’ll have more money to feed your bikes petrol habit! :smiley:

+1. When I finally gave up my son had just moved back in with us, and he’s a smoker, and my other half was still smoking (both smoking in the house), but I found it made me want to quit even more. The family and guests can still smoke in my house, and I still go outside with my friends when they go for a smoke at the pub etc, as it has been part of my socialising for so long I’d miss the chat. I just don’t light up with them - I do feel really bloody smug watching them tho, coz I don’t NEED to do that anymore :D:D:D

Yeah that ^

Nice one. :slight_smile:

Good luck with it fellah. It’s a really tough thing to do but so worth it!

Good on ya, I really love cigarettes but gave up 2 months ago due to some health problems. I think 2nd week was the worst one when my body started crying for nicotine. Chips and mayo help a bit :smiley:

Keep it up even though it doesnt feel right. I gave up in 1997 and havent had one since and i was on 60 a day.

i quit smoking for 3 days b4 i suppose i will quit when im ready

I gave up 4 years ago, it’s a hard battle but if you want to do it then you’ll succeed :smiley:

Thanks every one . day8 and im not going back to smoking. ill spend the money i save on my grandaughter:D

I’m struggling at the moment. Tried using the patches but they caused immense pain in the shoulder joints.

Will have to see the doctor see if I can continue using them.

Keep up the good run mate.
