:rofl38::rofl38::: when did that happen?? :D

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

I was doing my bit at the last meet. I sat outside with the smokers encouraging them to smoke more.
I have to keep my tax bill down some how :rolleyes:

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

What, the bit about me enjoying having a fag? I really do though. I'm not a heavy smoker. I smoke about 10 a day and I do enjoy them. I don't smoke on the move, always when I'm sitting down with a cup of tea (or something stronger in the evening) and I really do enjoy them! :D

I know that they are bad for me and they cost a lot. This is why I tried to give up but I just missed them so much! I gave up for the 9 months that I was pregnant for the health reasons. I know that this was the right thing to do. According to the Allan Carr book giving up should not feel like a sacrifice but it did to me!

10 a day is nearly £1,000 in a year. Up to £50,000 for your retirement. Enjoy spending that instead.

Enjoy your curtains and soft furnishings not getting stained with tobacco smoke. Not just yours but from smoking friends who visit. With no smoke in your house you wouldn’t have to clean your windows as often or wipe down the woodwork and not forgetting things like the telly, hard chairs etc.

You gave up for 9 months so you can do it again without having to get pregnant. You know you can - you just need a gentle push in the right direction.

DON’T LIGHT THAT NEXT FAG.

Make a conscious effort to put it back in the packet and then look at your clock and YOU decide when you are going to light it. Come on! Five or ten minutes isn’t going to make that much difference is it? Then if you must, light it or YOU decide to wait just another five minutes.

But you will have wrested control of your smoking from a self confessed pleasurable habit to conscious effort. Do the same with each fag that you take out of the packet but extend the time.

You will be chucking them away in no time and having the pleasure of spending the money that you save. You will have replaced one pleasure with another.

I am hoping to have a nice glass of wine tonight, when the sprogglings have gone to bed!!
This will be the first alcohol drink since stopping smoking!! and to be honest, it is the only thing that I have feared!! BUT I know I can do it!! :D

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

That was the time I found hard when I was off the fags . Sounds like you have made your mind up Slinky so it shouldn't be a problem to you. GOOD LUCK:)

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

Well said Katex, at least we're two smokers alike. Don't all shout at me at once for starting again, but i did give up a few years back for just over four years then obviously started again. What i found was the amount of spare time i had especially in the mornings. I smoke outside, so for every ciggie i had i had an extra five mins. My hubbie keeps nagging me to give up, but at the moment i don't want to.

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

4 years and you started again?? :eek: are you crazy women?? :eek:

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

Said don't shout at me lol

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

Awwww sara!! did you not feel disappointed in yourself after so long?? :(

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
 

I don't know how any one can give up for such a long length of time and then start again.
A couple of days an I was tearing my hair out.

Re: Easy way to stop smoking.....
