Well, one out of three isn’t too bad…..
Oh Alex! The innocence of youth!
Ask Peter Gillson how safe it is; or Barry W what his next kit is likely to cost or anyone like me who's stash has got out of control! I may have room for other vices in my life (I won't comment on what they are) but I don't have any room left in my house!:smiling3:
Still better than smoking though!

Well done Ian, good luck with kicking the habit, no it's not easy but worth it in the end.
I smoked for 20 years, given up 13 years this year. (Might start again, the wifes cooking tasted better back then! :flushed: :tears-of-joy: )

well done Lee it is a very hard one to give up and i have tried a few times with no luck half the time the
other half have a cig your so unbearable
keep up the good work
Well I have made it to 14 days today, so I hope that the worse is over. Not that it's been that bad to be honest. I think that I have thought about it twice, both times after a good dinner!
Reading of all that have stopped for many years ago and stayed stopped gives me hope and well done to you all.
Let's see if I can get to a month!

Come on Ian thats the spirit . BTW , how much would you have spent on ciggies in the last 14 days ?
Well done Ian. You should be proud of yourself. You're already healthier, wealthier and smell better! Tony's got a good point - how much have you saved already.

Well I ain't got me a Ferrari lol.
Haven't don't the maths, not sure I dare...
14 x 51 =714 dkk so that's about £80.
Damn!

Meh. If I wanted anything like that, I would finish my slo - mo off.
Unfortunately the only Ferrari I would ever consider owning would be a Dino and they dont come cheap.
Ian,
when I stopped, I made it a policy never to take any extra money with me, when I went out, so if I was tempted - I couldn't buy any ciggies, even if I wanted to. Changed a bit, now, we're heading to a cashless economy, we can buy almost anything by card!
Two weeks is great, but keep at it - I thought that the worst part of giving up would be in the pub, with others around smoking. It wasn't, - it was at home, either reading, or on the computer. If you can get through a day, then two without thinking of smoking, then you're making progress
Good Luck
Dave

Remember, that's after tax. Well done on achieving 14 days, you should be through the worst now.
Congratulations on becoming a non-smoker.

That’s over 2K a year, if you think that far ahead…..pretty much pay for a decent holiday!
Forget the money, you'll start feeling healthier soon enough. When I caught a cold it would hang on for ages and I'd be hacking a lung up for 2 weeks afterwards. I've not smoked for 10 years & I've had maybe two or three colds. They lasted three days max. Also, I would go for an hours dog walk and collapse after, now we do that daily, sometimes much longer, & I'm ready to carry straight on when we're home. Cornwall's not exactly flat, either.
Stick with it Ian, even in your weakest moments smoking again will never be as good as how you are going to feel over the coming months & years,

Hang in there buddy, I smoked for 40+ years, tried to quit many times w/many methods, cold turkey works. Taking it 5 minutes at a time worked for me, if I got the urge, I'd say "I'll wait 5mins".
When I started to give up, I always made sure I had a pack of cigarettes and a lighter everywhere I went. I told myself I wasn't giving up, just trying to see how long I could go without a cigarette. I felt that took away some of the pressure of giving up a lifelong habit. I'd been in hospital for four days without a smoke so that gave me a good start, and after about a month I ditched the packet I'd been carrying around and put my lighter away in a drawer.
Well done Ian. Keep up the good work!
