The 'I've stopped smoking' thread...

[grahamw48]

3 days without a ciggy now.

Actually, it's been quite painless.

No patches or other crutches either...except a used-up e-cig. :smile:

Eating lots more and feeling fitter already when walking and cycling. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Well done Graham - resist temptation :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

As with previous occasions (which happily lasted for YEARS)....already dashing around like a blueRsed fly, doing STUFF.

Could be the 10,000 calories a day I'm currently consuming of course. :Erm:

[Slip]

I gave up in 2004 after smoking for around 15 years... I used to only smoke 10 a day, but one day decided they cost too much and just quit.

[grahamw48]

That's good to hear....and well done sir ! :xxgrinning--00xx3:


Going 'Cold Turkey' seems to be working ok for me this time.

Reasons:

1. HEALTH.

2. COST.

[Terpe]

At last!!
Well done Graham.....keep it up step-by-step and day-by-day.

It's one of the best decisions you'll make :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Thanks Peter.

Day four. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[bigmarco]

Well done Graham and good luck :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Well done Graham and good luck :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hoping you're still 'clean' Marco :xxgrinning--00xx3:

It's over 3 years now for me..........so so glad I took the decision to quit.
I did it cold turkey as that works best for me........whichever way anyone does it it's never easy.

[Dedworth]

Keep going Graham - get the bike out tonight :smile:

[grahamw48]

Day 5 . :xxgrinning--00xx3:

This seems to be going quickly. :Erm:

I'm now adding up all the money I'm saving. :biggrin:

[Terpe]

Have you noticed any improvement in your breathing yet Graham ?
Usually you notice that pretty quickly :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Yes, I certainly have Peter, thanks.

Also I'm soooo much more active now, but I was anticipating that.

...Just waiting for the old face to fill out a bit now, and look less like a Rhino's scrotum.

[grahamw48]

They'll be on overtime restocking the Tesco reduced items fridge shelf

Pah. Tesco so-called 'reduced' are a blinkin joke nowadays.

I just stock up at farmfoods for the cheapo stuff. :smile:

Maybe I should use all this extra energy to bike over to Aldi or Lidl. :Erm:

[Dedworth]

On my approved supplier list :xxgrinning--00xx3: You can get some cheap bike pannier bags from Lidl this week to fill up with all the non branded bargains

[Michael Parnham]

I did the same in 1992! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Dedworth has converted me and I can honestly say I'm glad for that.....:xxgrinning--00xx3:
As long as you know what you buying you can save £££'s and the quality of fresh products is great.

:hubbahubba:

[grahamw48]

8...(or is 9 ? :Erm: ) days now as a NON-SMOKER. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I have saved 20+ pounds on the cost of cigs, cos I only smoked 7 or 8 a day anyway, and spent 20+ pounds on extra food, and snacks of all kinds. :biggrin:

[Dedworth]

Get out on that bike :biggrin:

[grahamw48]

Get out on that bike :biggrin:

I'm out on it every day....getting in supplies of food ! :icon_lol:

[Dedworth]

Cycle further then you'll be too knackered to think about or need food

[grahamw48]

I need to get back home the same day ! :biggrin:

[Terpe]

Keep up the good work Graham.....we're all behind you.....seriously....we know just how tough it can be sometimes until the moment goes.

[grahamw48]

Cheers Peter.

My electronic cig from poundstretchers wore out weeks ago, but makes a great dummy. :icon_lol:

[Michael Parnham]

Keep it up Graham! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[grahamw48]

Another day another few quid saved Michael. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Rosie1958]

Keep it up Graham, well done so far! :xxgrinning--00xx3::appl:

:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Sense of smell is returning now.

Time to change my socks and bedding, and find out whatever that is at the back of the fridge ! :cwm24:

[raynaputi]

Well done Graham! :xxgrinning--00xx3:
