    Well done Dave

    I gave up smoking just over 3 yrs ago (a dance cruise was my incentive), and I know just how hard it can be. Keep up the good work

    Re: I have given up smoking



    Well done Dave...am so pleased for ya! I attempted to give up at the beginning this year...did all the ground work before it ( reading up on it, things in place to replace the habit etc etc. Even had the desire to stop..I STILL want to stop)

    Started again about 11 days later ...why??? Not because I wanted a cigarette..I felt as if I had put on about a stone overnight and was feeling so miserable about it My rationale brain told me this was not true and that smoking wouldn't assist weight loss but still I hit the cigarettes again. I didn't even want one but still I lit one up and that, as they say, was that.

    I will try again..fingers crossed cos I hate being one of these smelly people that everyone on here is slagging off ( maybe that's why nobody dances with me )

    Help with the following then please

    How do I avoid the weight gain?
    When does the continual thoughts about it all stop?
    How long does the grumpiness stop?

    help / advice appreciated

    I've snipped out the bits that IMHO show to me that one day you will be successful in giving up entirely Angelique

    The biggest hurdle in giving up, is to want to

    As for the rest of your questions:

    How do I avoid the weight gain?
    When does the continual thoughts about it all stop?
    How long does the grumpiness stop?
    No set answers I'm afraid:

    I put on 3 stone (but then I needed to put something on anyway.

    Very occassionaly, I still wonder what it would be like to just have one...

    I'm known as a grumpy sod at times anyway, so the last one was quite irrelevant for me

    Keep trying, and one day you will succeed

    That's a shame...

    I think he probably already knows that by now

    He has told me, today when he finishes his packet he will quit again.
    You have to want to give up to be able to give up.

    Anymore advice for him....?
    Yes - those shoes don't go with that shirt!

    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you

    Just keep trying Dave - one day it'll work

    I think he should re-read this whole thread, from start to finish, especially his own posts.

    Then he should go and donate the last ones in his packet to the local tramp and then he can feel doubly good about himself!

    He is a very bad boy and it is disapointing that he has gone back to the weed. Smelly breath, smelly fingers, smelly clothes, cough, out of breath.. YUK YUK YUK.

    DTS, It doesn't have to be permanent. I plan on taking up smoking again when I'm a little old lady and on my way out. Can't wait!

    Re: I have given up smoking

    As an X smoker I know it was probably one of the hardest things to do. It is a real addiction and good luck to you. I did it in my own way in my own time and it is worth it in the long run. I still have one trigger which sets me off but try to keep that at bay. It is a toughy and don't beat yourself up.
