The stopping smoking thread :-(

[Fly]

@OC The meds say set a date for the second week, (double dose), of the course, in my case, any day this week after Tuesday.

I'll give it a couple of days to see how the meds work before trying a blanket stop again.
Don't fancy a repeat of Saturday

[Old Cruser]

So you have a double dose of the meds and then cut back on the fags - the choice of how many you cut down on is yours??

[Fly]

Second day of double meds and I'm craving fags even more. But . .
I've resisted temptation and had about 15 fags tuesday, probably same today.

Bought an e-cigarette sunday from Tesco.
Our_Lass thought sod it this morning, 8.00am ish and had a blast instead of a fag.
Overall, she's had about 5 blasts on it till now, 6.30pm, and hasn't had 1 fag.
Well impressed XXXX

Think I'll get myself one this weekend and try to get my 15 fags a day down even further.

May be worth a go Flyboy - if only to save money. My mate packed fags in a couple of years ago, but still smokes an electric fag because there are more harmful chemicals in the act of burning the tobacco than the nicotine itself - and he says he is saving shed loads of dosh.

BTW Did you get a Rubik's cube yet?

It will probably cost me more 
We usually bring our backa back from the jollies, cheap rollup stuff 

But it's not about the money, it's an health issue.
Were getting there

Our_Lass has gone 2 days without a fag now  Well done 

I've been spacing my cigs 2 hours apart, if needed. Sometimes I can go 2 1/2 hours.
I'm getting an e-cig tomorrow, hopefully it'll replace the few fags I've been smoking.
Fingers crossed 

Just got to thin out the e-fag drags then, and get shut of the nicotine addiction.
At least I won't be smoking.

[Old Cruser]

In your own time Fly, nice and steady. Sure you will do it.

[Pete]

Yes - well done to Margaret for going without.

A doctor once told me that there are three milestones in packing in smoking, the third day, the third week and the third month - all of which are times that folks give in.

So it's worth congratulating yourself or Margaret when each milestone is passed.

Go for it mate!

[Old Cruser]

@ Pete that's really good and incentive advice.
Something to remeber there Fly

[Fly]

Mags on day 3 of no fags, not bad considering she forgot her tablet this morning.
A few puffs on the e-fag are getting her through.

Me, had a fag at 6.15am this morning. Had another before my school run 7.45am.
Called at Tesco in Notts and bought an e-fag.
Haven't had another fag all day, and ain't missing it that much.
The e-fag is just enough to get me through. Hopefully tomorrow will be my first smoke free day in probably 30 years :-)

Cheers for the support peeps 

[Old Cruser]

Sounds as if the e-fag is helping a lot then Fly - hope the weekend goes well for you both 

[Fly]

8.15pm, still no ciggy.
It's a very weird feeling. Had a couple of cans and want to run to the door for a fag 
1. I haven't got any rolled 
2. I ain't going to roll any   
3. I don't need to 
4. Zyban, rocks, try it Pete. LOL Happy mate, happy 

Yes OC, the e-fag is working a treat, for both of us. 

[Fly]

Still haven't had a fag, either of us   
Coping quite well 

[Pete]

Keep going folks!

If you get over the weekend without a ciggie then i reckon you may have cracked it.
