Smoking

-pixie said:
I had it easy - after 10 years smoking I gave up due to pregnancy. Every time I even smelt a ciggie after I was two months pregnant I threw up, so I couldn't smoke even if I wanted to.
Other than that - best of luck A-B!

Come on pixie, I know A-B wants to give up smoking but don't you think advising him to become pregnant is just a little bit extreme?
:eek:

You should stay on topic you know, :) then you wouldn't have idiots asking you very personal question like this, :rolleyes: pray tell what makes you smoke in your dreams? :o

Idiots...nah too easy Doug dear.;)
What I meant was that I have dreams where I quite literally just dream that I am smoking again. They are so realistic that I wake up feeling guilty as though I have had a cigarette and have to check my partners pack to see if I have been sleep smoking.

Oh god I've been there all too often. :( I can even smell it some times. It's a little unsettling sometimes because it can be so real.

Unsettling when you wake up, but great whilst you are asleep. All the pleasures of smoking without the side effects.

Just on a tangent I wonder if reformed drug addicts have similar dreams?
 
One bloke I spoke to said to tell you that if you consider yourself an ex smoker you will fail, You are a NON SMOKER from this day hence or its more a case of when than if,

Very well said, and very true.
 
Best of luck AB. I loved the inhalator for giving up, it gives you a good nicotine hit at the back of your throat, a bit like inhaling a fag. Of course, I'm going to have to give up again sometime....:D
 
How's it going A-b? Are you under more pressure, because you told us today's the day? Good luck, l'm sure we're all behind you.

Quit Smoking
March 9 is National No Smoking Day and here on Hyndburn Life we have enlisted the help of a specialist nurse who will be going live online on our forum to offer advice and practical information to help people who want to stop smoking. Nicola Parkes is the Team Leader of the Quest Specialist Smoking Cessation Advisors which is part of the Hyndburn, and Ribble Valley Primary Care Trust. Nicola will be on-line on a specially dedicated Quit Smoking Forum on National No Smoking Day between 9.30am and 11am and will be able to answer all your questions.


Yep. Well, I'm sure that's going to be a big success.....unless, of course, A-B makes a contribution.

What you up to with this no-smoking lark, anyway A-B?
 
Wish you all the best A-B,hypnotism worked for my ex mum in law. 2 sessions at £60 each,money well spent when you consider the cost of fags.
 
Thank you all for the messages of support and advice. I am at once, humbled and tremendously bouyed-up. I particularly liked Pixies john Cleese idea and Entwisi's change of thinking idea. Today has been one of the longest I have had for quite some time, but here I am, 22 hours on and still going.
 
Oh A-B,you can most certainly do this,you are obviously a very strong character and have the wherewithall to occupy your mind elsewhere!

Keep at it,and as stvky said,the will power is the most important thing,you have got to want to stop!
We are all with you!
 
Good on you A-B.......I hope that with the support of the gang on here you will make it. My hubby gave up some 15 years ago......everytime he wanted a fag he would go for a brisk walk. He also saved all the money he would have spent on fags and bought himself a set of alloy wheels for his car......that was something he really wanted and couldn't afford while he was smoking.......so save your money and buy yourself something you would not have had if you hadn't given up. doing it for yourself is the best motivator(rather than being told you have to give up).

An excellent way of going about "giving up"
 
I must agree that going for a walk helps. Just think how happy Acrylic Biff will be with all his extra exercise...:D
