Diary of a smoker

[Peteaud]

Will be using lozenges (tesco variety) used these several times before but always failed when I've been out on the beer. Will also be going tee total to.

The lozenges cure my cravings but the real bad heartburn so will only be using them when cravings are bad, rather than my usual fag times as before.

I have to recommend the mouth squirter, bl00dy fantastic as it helped me.

Told the mrs i was off down Tesco this morning for a pack of twenty Benson as i had proved i could give up. (didnt mean it)

I am now in the dog house

I never had much luck with nicotine replacements, but each to their own.

The Alan Carr book is very good, although I read it with a very sceptical eye, for example he claims going from smoking to nicotine substitutes is like trying to quit smoking heroin by injecting it instead, which sounds a bit silly to me.

I used the Alan Carr book, it worked brilliantly, I stopped with no withdrawal symptoms at all.

I smoked from aged about 15, starting with a pipe! I'm now at the stage that I can smoke the occasional rollie without fear of getting a habit again, but am less interested the more I cycle.

I don't see how you can do that.

I know if i smoked just 1 i would be back on them again.

Same here, although I'd kinda quit by the time I'd read it so didn't smoke when Alan told me to!

For most of my adult life I was the same, if I smoke these days it's because I'm tipsy and am being a lazy dickhead. Smoking makes hangovers MUCH worse!

Tell me about it. I've noticed this a few times when I've been out and not smoked.

I'm still weak when drinking, but I'm getting better. I horribly regret it the next day.

Good luck and well done for seeing the light

 

[Reece]

Well the no smoking is going good. Not been craving them at all except 2 occasions where a lozenge soon killed it off. Luckily a friend at work has also quit with me, although he had serious cravings today (secretly made me feel better though as I wasn't).

However the t total part is not, due to my mate bringing me back a litre of vodka back from Poland lol.

Good work Reece, the days will soon become weeks and the cravings will be gone, then the weeks become months......
