ade33uk 86 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 post your reasons for giving up on here and we can remind you why you are doing it later on .. are you going to be using patches or gum or something ..(patches worked for me ) word of warning nicotine messes with your mind .. this was what it was like for me 1st week you will be fine nicotine still in your body 2nd week you can feel it wearing off but your ok ,your giving up . 3rd week you will feel like shit but you are giving up so you wont have a fag . 4th week you start to feel better and thats when it gets you . you think your ok now havent smoked for a few weeks youve broke the addiction , maybee you can smoke one ciggie just when your out or after your dinner .one aint going to harm , then one becomes two , then you buy ten fags smoke them over a couple of days , and before long your back to where you started . it aint easy but its worth it just for the money alone all the best to you mate ...

Stung like a twat, he couldn't see for an hour! All the best Fraggle mate, I gave up for 5 months with patches, but started back up again after getting drunk in Cardiff and smoking cigars after Wales won the grand slam in '05. Problem then was I remembered how much I used to enjoy a roll up, and I've tried unsuccessfully twice since then. My advice is once you're off them, stay off them, I wish I had.

A few reasons. Main two are money and health. I'm aftr a few new things when i get home from arghan in march , new motorbike, car, van and a dog. I know i wont have enough for all of these even if i give up smoking but it will help no end. plus fags out in afgan are very cheap so wont to try and kick it before i leave. plus the nagging wife is doing my tits in.

Wish me luck. good luck mate im on my last week of champix an i cant beleive how good they are,only one thing i didn,t like about them was the crazy nightmares they gave me, so after about 5 weeks i stopped taking the night time tablet just to see if it would make a difference and the nightmares stopped, 1 tablet a day seemed to be enough and it wasn,t down to willpower cause i dont hav any, 2 of my friends are on them too an after 5 or 6 weeks they cut down to 1 tablet a day for the same reasons and still didn,t want to smoke, i cant speak highly enough of these tablets,i went to my doctor with stomach trouble and it wasn,t even in my head to give up,she asked me did i wanna try them so i said why not, im glad i did now, my other half smokes an her smoking around me doesn,t even bother me these tablets are that good, so good luck mate an keep us posted...
