Smoking ............... No more.

[ianrauk]

I quit 2 years ago (there is a post on this forum somewhere) and i still get the odd "wheres my fags" urge.

And i tell you now, when i type "i quit 2 years ago" it feels good.

Still remember you starting the thread as if it only yesterday.
How time fly's.
Well done Pete.

Have you stopped again. ?

Not had a fag for couple of years now(maybe one when bladdered !) But I'd be lieing to say I never fancy one.Another one who's misses would cut them off if she caught me

Mr Dragon would not be a happy dragon if I started again. I must admit that now and again I feel the urge so to speak, but luckily it only lasts a couple of minutes. Take deep breaths and concentrate on someting else till the feeling passes

Every cigarette we all do without is a success. We are all winners, and need to congratulate ourselves on a job well done.

I'm pretty sure I'm done with them.Especially now there's no smoking in pubs.Went to Poland last year and looked nice with a pint in pub,but soon got over it.

I was talking to one of my neighbours today. She is talking about giving up. She never smokes in the house and said the reason being is that she doesn't want it to smell of smoke. Trying to be very tactful I said her house does smell of smoke. She may smoke outside but the smell sticks to her clothes and her hair and she just brings it back into the house.
She then said that that was even more of a reason to give up the fags.

You have done well to stay off of the fags for 2 years. The longer the time off of them the less likekey you are of starting again.

Thats the problem. We kid oursleves that no one can smell the cigs, when In fact it is all over us. It's only after we give up that we can smell it on other people and realise just how bad it was.

To be honest with you all I am just so mad that it took me 40 years to give up. When I think of how much money I have wasted it just makes me very angry with myself. I can't believe I was so stupid, and allowed cigarettes to rule my life. What an idiot I was.

Not to hard for me as have young kids,so the guilt would eat away at me,plus im into my bike again so it doesn't do me any favours trying to light up whilst cycling !

I am ashamed to say I was 12. Started when I went to high school. Thought I looked dead cool. DOH. Dead stupid. When I started cycling again late august, I thought I was having a heart attack after just a couple of miles.

Never smoked, it killed my Dad.

We know that already. We don't need to be told. It didn't stop us from being stupid though. At least we came to our senses before it was too late that is the main thing. A lot of us started when we were just kids. We didn;t see the dangers then like we do now.
