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

    3 days without a ciggy now.

    Actually, it's been quite painless.

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

    Eating lots more and feeling fitter already when walking and cycling.

    Cheers.

    I'm hoping this will be a very long thread.

    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.

    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.

    That's good to hear....and well done sir !


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

    Reasons:

    1. HEALTH.

    2. COST.

    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.

    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.

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

    I just stock up at farmfoods for the cheapo stuff.

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

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

    8...(or is 9 ? ) days now as a NON-SMOKER.

    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.
