I am well chuffed that I have been a non smoker for approx 7 months with no relapses.
My main problem area was when I was out and about drinking. there was this strong psychological tie between having a pint in my hand and having a smoke.
To get around that I bought some nicotine chewing gum. Which I would chew when getting tipsy. And it has all worked fine.

I hardly ever use them now but still have them in case as whatever happens I dotn want to go back to that disgusting addiction.

How did you get over your hurdles and what were they whilst giving up?

WOw thats great Mogant!! Do you reckon this smoking ban helped you in a way.I know i smoke a lot less when i go out,nit just cos its banned cos we can go outside,i just dont go,funny that eh.i tried it years back,had daft zyban one time & another was gum,failed both times,now i dont even know if i want to stop,like in my house its coffee & cigarette,so maybe if i stopped drinking coffee. Hmmmm but ya gota have will power!

HAd nothing to do with the ban I just felt like it was right and now am feeling so much better.
Mind you alot of my pals still smoke so I aint a crazy anti smoking nut
In fact I aint an anti anything nut
fast running powder, coke etc etc if thats your thank then go for it
Of course when I said coke I meant coca cola

well done you...i haven't smoked for 27 days, i know that's not long but i have smoked constantly for 31 years, so 27 days is good for me...i too have not had one ciggy and i replace my cravings with fruit or i go on a bike ride to take my mind off them....keep going, your doing very well....


myLot reputation of 84/100. mogant (589)   ranked 29 out of 297 in quit smoking  6 months ago

Thank you and you.
spookily I've also started cycling its been 20 years since was last on a bike .
Excercide certainly does seem to help alot and eating fruit stops the pounds creeping on
CONGRATS to you and keep it up

AINT WE GREAT*s*

cheers
