Well today is the day I have made my decision to quit smoking after being told I am less than 15% away from having emphysema and I am only 45 I have way too much too live for I want to see all my grandchildren grow up to be adults get married and have their family's I have the gum and lozenges and I am off to the Doctor's on Thursday to get a script for chanpix as well . I am going in with all guns blazing so to speak no pun intended I hope I can do it I know I have talked myself into it that much that I feel I can do it in my mind I don't want to smoke anymore that is how much I have talked myself in to it I am ready to do this . and being how Mark hasn't smoked for 3 years its more support for me as well as going to Kambu medical centre and using their program kicking butts . I look at it this way if Mark can do it I can too .....
Wish you well! The first month is the worst, but it tapers off after that. I haven't smoked since March 31, 2006 and I'm so happy I made the decision to stop - but I still miss it, especially when stressed.
You can do it, girl!
thanks Karmat, i have talked my self into it for months and its only been an hour or so since my last smoke , I am determined to do this
You can do it and you'll be proud when you have!
You go girl!
Should be easier for you than the old man...as he had you around him and still at it.
I guess I'd average about 7 a week .... and I bet for many that'd be about as good as not-at-all. [that's smokes, not packets].
Just think of the money you'll save if you're a pack-a-day or worse...
for sure, I will be saving a $100 dollar's a fortnight if not more lol and the funny thing is I haven't felt like a smoke since 12pm not bad for me
thanks buddy
3 hours not too bad for me lol
You can do it.
Ten years ago I was told that I had to have heart bypass surgery.I gave up cold turkey and I could not be happier.
I am also now a member of the zipper club!
Good luck Mrs S.
Cheers
Macca
Thanks Macca, well its just turned 8pm here, and yes I cracked , but only cos I was stressing out about my stepdaughter she is moving from where she was living, and is moving to Leichardt and the removalist was meant to be dropping her stuff at her new place at 5.30 pm I was stressing as it was getting late and no one showed up so starkers went to ring his daughter to see what was going on , it turned out that the removalist had only arrived at her old place at 7pm its going to take them another 3 or so hours to get to Leichardt so we came home I got mark to get me a pkt of fags lol Damm I should have taken my gum I never thought of it , all in all though I didn't do too bad, that is the longest I went with out ciggys (12.00 pm to 8.00pm )
It took a minor heart attack for me to finally give them up after many previous attempts. Been off smokes now going on 9 years with no regrets.
You can do it!
Best decision there, bonzette! Couldn't be happier you made it!
I'm sure Mark will support and help you. Remember, it's your life; you have a husband, children and grandchildren to enjoy for many, many years yet!.
To do it,you have to change your life. Be ready for fighting with yourself. To win something to mean to lose in something.
You have to do it!!!...Be strong!
there's always something to stress about in life... that ain't gonna change.... have to think of another thing you can do in stressy situations to replace it with....
chocolate...
$100 a fortnight aye..... just think of all the air tickets to Tassie coming your way....
you might get some inspiration from v's thread.... you and Po' can... hold each others hands... virtually.... link...
I hope that I can avoid that , it would be a good thing if I could. Thanks Hank I am going to need all the support I can get lol
aint that the truth Thanks Doc

If you get the munchie, remember...NO CARBS... protein or salad minus tomatoes. Yogurt.
As many times as it takes, it takes. Just keep trying.
You can do it Shaunna. SD's support mechamism am right here.

I have done good so far, I had my last ciggy at about 11.30pm last night and it is now 9.40am thursday morning I have the nicorette gum 4mg, I prefer that than the nicabate mini lozenges they are gross so far I have had no cravings which is good, I am going to see my gp today and I am going to ask her about Champix, just a little more armor I need all the help I can get.
Thanks Uvah

Hi Mrs S
How are things going?I hope you haven't gone back to old habits.
thanks macca no been too sick too worrie about it lol i think its was only a 24to 48hour bug it lasted for 2days i am feeling ok but weak
Okay, so I have ceated a new incentive... or should I say, I made a new house rule that should be helpful!
As of last Friday this house has been a 100% smoke-free zone... and will be strictly enforced by a swift kick up the backside for defaulters.
Upstairs [inside] has always a been non-smoking area anyway... now so is downstairs, the front and back verandahs upstairs.
Hehe, that means my sister and other family smokers will have to go right outside now... well away from the exits/entrances.
10 + metres should do it.
It'll be 3 years for me on January 15 2013... and I won't be celebrating the anniversary with a cigar.
nah but we can celebrate Decon's Birthday he was born on the 16th January .... and our new little grandson will be born 17th jan2013
It will be 2 weeks on monday 10th Dec 2012 yeah!!!! and I feel great
Be proud. You are on your way to being a non smoker!!!
Yew kan dew eet!!
