Nik_B 3,790 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Haven't beaten the wife/kids/dog yet and so far it's been fairly easy which is weird because the last time I was a stressed out nightmare. I'm on the patches and this time decided not to throw out my tobacco because I figured that not having them would make me want it more. In the first week I would have a smoke if I really wanted one but since I'm wearing the patches I don't get anything from them...its just the habit. The last week I've hardly touched a fag and on the rare occasion I did I binned it after the first or second puff as they taste like shyte. Also gave up the booze about 7 weeks ago...life it a bit more dull but I'm already hundreds of quid up The missus is still smoking and when she comes in from having a fag outside she absolutely stinks LOL Boringly Nick 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well done! I managed about 5 months last time but I stupidly started again after a big piss up.. It's always in drink I start off again, not that I drink much.. That's why I stopped drinking first There's no way I can stop one without the other. I'm no porker but I've lost a bit of gut already Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My tip, follow the full course of patches don't think you can bail out early and you've done with them I did that and failed several times. After that use the inhaler until ou don't need it anymore. Really hope you get there, stopping is the best thing financially and for health reasons I have done Been stopped now just over two years... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm asthmatic so it is a bit stupid to smoke anyway and I take pills for my stomach which is made worse by smoking and drinking. Give it a few more weeks and I'll turn in to one of those annoying anti smokers...."You smoke I choke" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
