Good work. Try sugar free polos for sweets I used them when I went on a diet worked a treat to stop hunger

Don't eat too many sugar free mints. Some of them can have a laxative effect. I stuffed my way through a couple of tins of super strong mints a few years back and spent the next day on the toilet.
 
Now I'm starting to feel jealous, 43 years contributing taxes and killing myself at the same time (double negative), not too bad now I'm down to 40 a day (well most days).

Just seen this after I posted - not just me then !!!!
 
11 days for me as of today (Friday), with a bit of a hiccup on Saturday night while out on the tiles, had a few ciggies off a friend. I'm great at giving up smoking, I've done it dozens of times...
I absolutely can't smoke for the forseeable future though, I have some dental work due where the success rate is halved if I smoke.
Good luck to all you guys who are giving up, it's very warming to know a few of us are going through it.
I totally crave good food and beer now though, replaced the ciggies with flavour and alcohol, I'm likely to be a fat alcoholic before the summer gets here 😉
 
Well done to all those giving up! I've witnessed two grandparents die a slow painful death from lung cancer, hope I never lose a loved one in that way again.
 
15 days for me now, how's everyone else doing?
I had the first part of my dental surgery on Monday (bone graft - ouch) so I absolutely can't smoke, doesn't stop the odd urge though...
 
My fake **** gift box is still in the hallway taunting me every morning. Just one more day.... It's stressful at the moment!
 
This is where I'm at now. I've found it quite easy to be honest and I use the electric *** less and less each day 🙂

Its a brilliant bit if kit mate. I'd set yourself a stop date and just go for it.

I still want a *** every now and then, but when I think about how far I've come then it puts me off wanting one.

That looks like the lists that my dad writes out every time he sees me smoke! You could've bought a villa in Spain by now if you'd never smoked!
 
lets hope you have the same six next week

They were gone that night and the missus 'kindly' brought me a new pack in the next day. I'm still going to give it a shot now that I know other people that I know (kind of) will be going through the same thing like withdrawels. I'm really clean living except for these evil cancer sticks. Makes me angry towards the manufacturer's to be honest because they add thousands of chemicals to keep you addicted.

Partly my fault for starting but to prey on people's addictions is pure evil.

Im looking at it in the same vain. My mortgage looks like its going to be between 650/750 a month depending on what I buy. If I don't smoke ill be saving roughly 220 quid a month on ****, plus all the other money ill save not buying all the other junk you do when you go in for **** like fizzy pop and sweets. I reckon I'll be saving nearer 300 quid a month. And that's a hefty chunk of my mortgage.
 
I think it's three weeks this weekend. I'm not really counting anymore, still get the urges but I've gone to long without to go back.
