Sounds like it too late and you are already riddled with cancer ...............Just saying
 
We all have some problems in life, my probably only issue was going cold turkey on Setraline, massive headaches! So coming off Nicotine, alcohol, drug etc can be a challenge but t usually ends up on the positive side.

Good luck with it.

Packed in smoking last Thursday, wanted to share my own thoughts on it so far, tbh never actually wanted to pack up but as most smokers know it’s always there as a wish in the back of my mind ,
Near enough all my old raving mates have and I was the last to even try, I know I got a long way to go still, gonna give myself a six month target am hoping by then I can say I’ve done it.
I’m on stage two patches as they didn’t have stage one at the chemist, originally I got them for a few reasons but the main one was on a few occasions was struggling to breathe normally, this happened a few times over last few months, I put it down to just being uptight but the most recent time I was chilled at home on the phone and it was horrendous.
I done a lot of research into breathing exercises now and am feeling slightly different and a bit ratty lol
Some of my mates who have stopped say oh yeah I was fine when they packed up but I thinking everyone must be different as feels vary strange to stop and maybe they forgot how weird it feels, if i succeed in stopping for good will consider it unbelievable tbf as just haven’t been bothered to try before.

I don't know you, but I wish you well.

Good luck with quitting - I respect people who make a sincere effort to kick bad habits, as it's a bloody hard thing to do and it takes courage.

One day at a time, tell yourself you will not have a fag today but may have one tomorrow if you fancy it.
Do that everyday, best of strength to you.

Not easy, did it cold turkey.
It's a big mental battle.

What's key is to treat yourself with the money your saving.

Sounds like pretty good advice, both.
 
Can’t smoke for 2 days as I’ve had a tooth out. Might not start again. Not even thought about having one

I stopped a 40 a day habit around 15 years ago and would never even think about it now.

Cant have 2 cans of larger in house without having to have a line of Charlie though even bulk buy so that I can never run out.

Where all f**k*d up 1 way or another @Vincey

I always found I smoked like a chimney when on the sniff and watched way too much porn! (y)
