ANY VICE'S.......?

[jammy395]

Having smoked for 36 year's, (15 behind the bike shed) I am trying hard to quit the habit.....Have tried many times in the past but failed on each attempt.....
This is my longest run 10 week's without a fag im doing well and am determined to stop this time. (Better stop them - before they stop me)...
But it aint easy i could murder one right now.......Am using niquitin chewing gum, which helps - but fuk my gums are sore.
Any thoughts folks on this or any other vices - Shout out........

Hi Jammy,

I take it that the number of posts today is to give your fingers something to do, rather than rolling a fag

Keep it up with the not smoking , after 10 weeks you should be getting over the worst I hope.
( I gave up about four years ago after a nasty chest infection and the GP sending me off for a chest x-ray, pretty bloody worried at the time. Only trouble is I am now addicted to the nicotine gum )

Very best wishes. Guy

Cheer's Guy.
Glad you've managed to stop.
It realy has got fuk all going for it when you think about it.
Not to mention the price - Went to buy a packet in Aberdeen airport a while back £9.80.....Not a kick in the arse off a tenner.....

bloody hell, didn't realise the government made so much money out of them (another good reason to give up!).
It makes the gum seem cheap.

Well done, Jammy. Although I kicked the habit many years ago, and I was never a heavy smoker (i.e. my nicotine addiction was low) I remember how hard is was. It's a real battle, don't let your guard down.

I may have drunk too much in the past I now just drink.

Red Wine
Malt Whisky
Good Cider
Champagne

I’ve cut out white wine altogether and only drink Rum, Vodka, Gin, and Sambuca when on Holliday

I probably eat too much as well
But have never smoked

Smoking is a bad one as it is so antisocial, but remember when it was normal and to not smoke was peculiar. Everywhere and everyone stunk!!! but we (virtually) all did it so it didn't matter. I gave up in '85 when I split with my first wife, she smoked so to get the timing right to give up for both of us was impossible. I had a bad cough from a cold and just threw one full pack and one half empty pack on the fire with my disposable lighter and that was it - no withdrawal symptoms, sailed through it, where as before it was horrible withdrawal. So my theory is when you are ready you just do it.

But sugar is just as insiduous, as are fats.
