Quit Smoking - D Day has arrived.

I smoked for 25 years and i have quit now for 7 months.

December 26th 9:03pm was my last cigarette.
Wasn't a big moment was it lol for me to remember the time
and the date lol.

If youre a quitter or Ex Smoker then maybe we can help others quit too.
That's if they want to quit.
As I found lots of help and patches out there.
You don't have to attend classes etc.

Its not the end of the world if it doesn't work this time
you can always try again.

But its not for everyone, so if its not your thing to
quit please respect the quitters in this topic please.

My mum is an NHS health advisor and one of he roles is to help people quit smoking.

So if people need information or advice, I can ask her, ill also ask her for details of the relevant agencies and organisations etc to contact to gain help and support.

The lad next door to me is a builder
and i was surprised to hear that on his building site
they now have a designated smoking area under a sheet out side.
No more smoking just anywhere.

They started this a week early and its given him
the incentive to quit.

I've tried to give up more times than I can count. Been a smoker for 22 years. Finally went to the Practice Nurse and got Champix - wish I'd gone ages ago!!!

Not smoked for 2 weeks now. Not been as narky as I was on the patches (baccy stuck to the sticky & tasted like crap when you lit it - maybe I was using them wrong). I think "really want a cig" and it's like the thought floats into my head then floats right out.

If anyone's really serious about giving up ask for the Champix. It's fantastic!

Aceritz and Sanchez are both in the process of quitting with Champix - I belive its been over 2 months now.... omg

If You knew aceritz, how much he smoked, and what he was like without a ciggy, then you would see what a wonder drug it is raftl

raftl

somad - is a mild description for Aceritz, and could be used to describe him being hungry or slightly tired.

He was far more volitile without a smoke raftl

Just for future reference, in case it happens - what do I do after "doing the do" now I have given up smoking?? Do I call thee other party a taxi earlier or offer them a beverage perhaps?

You could try eating a banana - very good for replenishing energy stocks. Please do not try to smoke the banana.

I would say keep a bowl of fruit by your bed just in case. Carrot sticks even...

Yes - nothing to do with quitting any more.
