The Giving Up Smoking Support Thread :)

[Hidden Spirit]

Why not save every penny you save from not smoking for a week, say 20 a day thats £35 (roughly), treat them to something nice and tell them thats because daddy stopped smoking, not only will it be nice for them & you it may put them off smoking when they grow up.

Well I'd need to persuade Daddy to stop smoking first, because I'm Mummy Ok I am hanging my head in shame, I failed to even stop when I said I would Am still going for it though (Wednesday) and am already taking steps, such as only place that me & Barry are allowed to smoke is kitchen with window open and kitchen door shut. This is due to the fact we're in the process of decorating the living room and I am so sick of yellow paintwork within 6 months of decorating As soon as kitchen is decorated though, it will be outside for Barry I will of course not be, as I will not be smoking by then

Well done to you Daniel and you, Bobby for keeping it up. You are both an inspiration

Mummy has changed sex she smoked that much

Hidden set a date and commit to it, tell as many people as you can, daft as it sounds one of the main thing that stops me smoking is the presure I have put myself under by telling so many people (even just on hexus I feel I owe the people something).

I'm proud of you mate!! The episode in the bar, that was really a hard one I can imagine..and I'm really glad/proud that you made it!
Continue that! You are on your way being a much healtier person! ..and a more happy one I think!

And Bobby, I'm happy that you're finding your running easier and better now! I haven't reached the point when running is funny, but I'm working on it. .

You are so good guys!
GO ON YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT!

I'm gonna for thee..(both of you )

Financial
At today's rates, a 20-a-day smoker will spend £31,025 over the next 20 years. Holidays you could have enjoyed; savings you could have built up; a home, car or important possessions you could have owned; toys and experiences you could have brought for your children.

With inflation and rising tax its likely to be more like 50k :O

Still going well I am into my 6th week now and still no cigs. Nice to have a smokefree bedroom, no ash all over the place.

Guys….

I failed on Friday night; I gave in after a complete nightmare of a day! The mother of all days! Which included blowing up a mate’s computer having a girl tell me that she is in love with me and has always been, seeing my housemates fall out and not speaking to each other, Falling out with my lady and generally falling of the wagon and eating the wheels to!

I have picked myself up and luckly I have suffered no new cravings and I’m back on that wagon!

I did not wanna tell anyone but what’s the point!

i just see it as 1 failer and 32 days of success, still not a bad record!

[Theo]

Keep at it, chaps. Nice to see you all doing so well. Unlucky for the relapse, Bobby. I doubt that it's too much of a setback for you.

Me? Still smoking. Weak! I tells ya! Weaaak!

[Jimmy Little]

thanks, i'm a little peed off that i failed but cracking back on now!
