Well done & good luck  :D

[springbok]

Well done you  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Wish I could follow suit!!!.. however my argument is I enjoy it too much and you only live once.  I dont drink so smoke menthols instead!! :D

well done babybird you must have a big pat on the back for taking the plunge. i gave up four years ago and i have never regretted it for a day.  my only regret is that i didnt do it ten years earlier.

if it is getting difficult then just remember how well you have done thus far and think positive thoughts. if you get a craving (if!! :P) then find something that will distract you for fifteen or twenty minutes and the craving will pass. you have passed the forty eight hour physical withdrawl and anything you feel now is purely psycological.  dont give in!!!

in a week or two give yourself a big treat and keep up the good work.

Go on give it a try and pack up the fags....i dare ya ..no i double dare ya. :)

[saddad]

I gave up when I was 16... several decades ago... if I have saved so much money where has it all gone?? Seriously I coudn't afford fags and booze.. I think I made the right choice, and before you ask my liver functions are fine!!
;D

I stopped smoking 13 minutes ago. Really hoping to make it 14.

Well done babybird.  Dont give in.  Gave up 7/8 weeks ago now.  It is really difficult but you do save loads.  Still craving now and again but went completely cold turkey.  It kills for a few days but you soon get over it.  Well done. :)

[posie]

Well done!  Keep up the good work and just think of all the lottie supplies you can buy now!  I'm booked in for hypnotherapy in middle of march to help me kick it too.  Fingers crossed!

[raisedbedted]

14 months for me ( after hypnotherapy ) and now when I see people smoking it looks so alien.

I dont have any more money but have loads more stamina and can dig for hours.

I started at 15 which was 25 years ago, and regret every day I smoked now.

Best of luck to anyone who gives up, just dont ever think 'one wont hurt!!'

I gave up on Fri 8th feb 08 on my dads funeral day, i can breath much better already, you have done so well, keep it up and the cravings do go eventually, are you on patches, gum?

[ipt8]

I suggest you put what was your cigarette money in a jar and see how quickly it builds up. I bet it would pay for a weeks holiday each year, go on do it :)

[Paulines7]

Well done Lbb.   ;D ;D ;D 

Keep going and please take note of Raisebedted's advice "just dont ever think 'one wont hurt!!" 

[littlebabybird]

i cant sit still, i've drunk so much water, its so stupid i know the physical stuff is over but i have smoked for 28 years  :o it feels like i'm going out not dressed properly or something :(

[sarah]

that will pass i promise.  soon you will reap the benefits of it. you will be able to dig for longer and one day you will be climbing up your local hill and realise you have got to the top without gasping for air.  keep it up.  ;) one day at a time.

ive git my date set for march the 24th as this is my sons 18th and i said i would pay for driving lessons for him and i cant afford to smoke and do the lessons so the fags have gotta go im hoping that if i keep thinking that im doing it for a good reason not only for myself but for my son as well it will keep me going i think i only smoke when i get bored  ::) ::) but im going to give it a go
