I was alright yesterday, but the cravings are starting to get to me now!!!!!! :-(:-(:-(:-(:-(:-(

The best I ever managed was for 2 days, and that was only cos I had a slipped disc and completely f****d my back,so I couldn't walk to the shop :-x

Good luck fighting the cravings.. I'm just off to have one on your behalf, and I promise I wont enjoy it :-)

@All

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement.

Well it's been three whole days now with out a fag, and it's been so fooking difficult.  I have no finger nails left, and stomped to the shop to buy some about 9pm tonight, but by the time i'd got there i'd calmed down, so i just bought two huge bags of jelly babies. :-)

Can't wait to see my little boys face on Friday when he realises I don't stink anymore. :-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

Much nicer than cigarettes!!! :-)

Actually, Keeping busy is the best way to fight any addiction... and going for a long walk is a good way of keeping busy and having some "quality time" with yourself to think things over. If you happen to have a bag of Jelly Babies with you... so much the better.

Yeah, I remember when I was a child and I would visit my Grandfather (who smoked) and it was really unpleasent... then he gave up (after his heart by pass surgury) and he always had a bag of chocolate eclairs with him, and I liked him a lot more after that :-)

This is a big thing to notice, most cig cravings come in waves, and will generally pass within a few minutes, it's just the building anxiety/craving during those few minutes can drive you crazy.  When I quit I started carrying around 2 one-liter bottles filled with ice-cold water, and whenever I started to feel a craving I'd drown it by drinking from them.

So yeah, for 2 weeks I was pissing every 20 minutes, and for a good month and a half I was still using the bathroom every hour, but it was definitely worth it.  Keep with it, as some others have said, it's all about finding ways to distract yourself when you're craving.

Good Luck!

:-)  My Grandad stopped smoking when I was ten after having a lung removed.  God knows why I started really.  It's ten years this month since I started smoking everyday.

I've been doing that too, the colder the better I find at the moment.

"it's all about finding ways to distract yourself when you're craving"

Maybe I should lock myself in my room with a sock and Jenna's greatest hit's DVD? ;-)

Greetings mdma,

Hope you get over it soon! For the meantime, try to focus on some other things to get rid of those cravings, like, try online gaming to pass the time or an indoor sport like table tennis with a friend, that would do, hopefully.

Or better yet, eat chocolate!!! Lots'o Chocolate!!! :-o  Unless you don't have any sweet tooths. Anyway, Good luck mdma.

Regards,

GiZz72

water will wash out the toxins from the cigarettes - and really necessary thing if you want to quit. eating alot of sweets will just get you fat. not a good substitute if the goal is to get healthy.

@T_Bone

I can't reply on your aw.net thread as i'm banned, so i'll reply here.

It's been absolute fookin tortue, but it is getting easier.  I haven't smoked a single fag since 02:00am last saturday morning.

I've gone from 20 or 30 Embassy No1 a day to nothing at all.

Cold turkey is the only way, I've been trying to give up for ten years and I've used all the NRT stuff available.  Even some tablets from the doctor, which kinda worked but not completely.

I wanna see my son become a man, every time I'm tempted to buy a pack, I just think of how proud he will be of me for not smoking.  Works everytime so far.

You do a good thing MDMA! :-) You'll soon enough be able to enjoy the taste of freshly newborn air :-)
Cleaning the house, and especially the curtains and sheets, will encourage you too to keep on stopping.
You'd get all the support from me if I was there, brave man :-) ;-)
*support* *support*

ps. I can't imagine why you would be banned from fora :-? :-? :-?

Thanks, It's getting slightly easier as time passes.  I can't believe I've lasted 6 days already without smoking.

I see my son tommorow, and I can't wait to see his little face when I tell him.  He'll be really pleased.

I broke the rules by saying I thought some aw.net members are very nice people, but that most are bumbling imbeciles.

Instant 5 day ban. :lol:

The one's I refer to really don't understand me, so they panic and lash out, as they can't pin a "red" or "blue" label on me.  Stereotypical herd mentality.

I'm an individual not a sheep! ;-)

I doubt kids understand such a thing
but anyhoo... that doesn't matter :-)

(you should see his face when you bought him the He-Man Greyskull castle :lol:)

Ah yes, the truth has a nasty sound.
And some ppl don't like to hear it :-|
