I'm off the cigarettes

Decided to go cold turkey as I quit them that way many moons ago. Hopefully I can keep it going now. Plus having an extra 60 - 70 quid in the pocket at the end of the week is a nice incentive too

Off them nearly nine years now, best thing I've ever done for myself. Well done, that first week is tough. Keep it up and you will be so happy with yourself.

Thanks everyone. I spent weeks saying I'll quit them on such a day but moments later I start thinking I have this and that to do on that day so maybe I'll leave it till next week and so on so forth

Good man, cold turkey is the only way to beat it! Just stay away from the pub for the next couple of weeks... Alcohol is the ultimate temptation

"Respect op tough way to do it, hope it goes well for you "

I did think about using an ecig but I wanted to be completely free of nicotine from the start. But going from maybe 15 fags a day to zero is a fair shock to the system.

Well done. A full week is a great achievement, you know you can do it now. After 3-4 days all the nicotine is out of your system but by 7-10 days you are no longer physically craving nicotine, it's all just habitual from here on in and the addiction is just in your head. This helped me a lot during my first few weeks.

It's now 3 years and 4 months since I put a cigarette in my mouth.

Keep up the good work and remember, don't put yourself under pressure. Know that you can go back to smoking at anytime if you want but challenge yourself to go one more day at a time, then one more week and so on.

Well done again.

That happens but just be careful with it

. 6 months after I quit I was up 2 and a half stone. I lost it again but it wasn't easy

You'll be amazed how much fitter you'll get in such a short period of time. Your breathing will improve greatly over the next month if you keep up the running.

I'll say it again, well done and keep up the great work

Aye I'm aware of that hence why I'm going to take up running again. I used to be run two miles in 15 minutes. I don't know if that's good or poor by some peoples standards

It's funny how the month I quit was the most stressful month I've had in a while with both work and personal dilemmas to deal with.

Gave them up 3 years ago. Best thing i ever done. Luckily i found it surprisingly easy given that many struggle to kick the habit. Went cold turkey aswell. Best of luck staying off them

It's great that you didn't give in and use the recent hard time as an excuse to go back on them. It could have been an easy slope to slide down so well done for sticking to it. I know people who tried quitting but used any excuse to justify having a smoke.

Good for you. A month is another milestone.

"Good man, cold turkey is the only way to beat it! Just stay away from the pub for the next couple of weeks... Alcohol is the ultimate temptation "

This right here.

I have quit smoking many times. Sometimes for a few years or a lot of months. My weakness it downfall has always been as soon as I have a drink in one hand I like to have a cigarette in the other. They're like a married couple. Have tried to divorce them so many times but they always end up getting back together.
