Day 5 now, I can’t believe it, No patches, just plain old cold turkey. I thinks I’ve got the worst over and done with. Remind me to get Mrs Madbaz a nice treat cos she’s had to put up with a huge amount of ■■■■ from me these last few days.
I thinks the most trying times are going to be when I’m at friends and/or when I’ve had a few bevvies, complacency will be my biggest enemy I thinks from now on.
Did the same last October and never smoked since. Just remeind yourself every day that you are not a smoker anymore - don’t dwell on it; you haven’t smoked for 5 days and you’re still alive so you can do another day!
Well done - good luck. The think I really hate is the people telling me how well I’ve done, and how good I’ve been to do it. A straight “good for you” is enough!!
Cheers for the support fellas , first day back at work after stopping, bit tough especially at dinnertime, but no bad attitude that I hgought I would have.
I’m trying to give up… keep having the odd one though . On the inhilator aswell, though I think thats proving as dear as smoking was. How are you doing it Baz
I’ve just gone cold turkey , I have used gum, patches and the inhalater in the past, but I always caved in within 2/3 weeks, thye last time i went cold turkey i did 3 months. As I think i’ve said before it’s really tough this time round but thats equalled by my determination! I’m into my 3rd week and I find the cravings are very infrequent (maybe twice a day) but stronger than ever, if I can find summat to do with my hands during that 2/3 minutes , I know I’ll not give in.
