When I was back in the UK I went ot the GP and have ben planning for "going smokefree" as they now call it.
I've failed so many times before but I'm feeling good this time as I have some literature from the NHS and it is helping. I usually replapse after 3 days, I'm only on day 2now
The literature is helping as it talks about health, triggers and planning. I planned this date a month ago and I've been working working towards it. But I really don't know if I will last long...

Funny this thread just got bumped up, I'm on Day 1 today. Quit cold turkey back in '09 and made it for 7 months so I'm gonna give it another shot. If anything to save money and be able to sing better,....not to mention health/breathing better.

1st of January. Time for a big BUMP on this thread
I quit at Xmas. Invested some money I was given in a month of nicotene patches (which would be free if I lived in the UK :evil: ) and am on the smoking wagon again. Day 5, feeling good.
Wow, first time I've seen this thread, good luck to you all. I used to smoke for years and haven't had one for about 6-7 years now. Feel sooooooooooooo much better, food tastes better and I am able to do more physically. So worth it folks, keep it up!

Adelaide BIG DAY OUT 2014
I'm on day 3. I feel great and just putting the cravings out of my head. I've also given up coffee and alcohol and its really made a difference.
"FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it." -JearlPam0925
Well it's been just over 6 months since the heart attack...
And not 1 cig since 9/30/11
Longest I have gone without since I started...
Amazing what a ball of flame in your chest can do for motivation
:oops: I feel guilty I let you bum a smoke from me at Alpine...
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Woo hoo Nathan!!!!!
Thanks man. Love the new avatar. You too RKCNDY. I was never a big time smoker (max prob 10 per day, most days 2-3), but I was/am addicted. One day at a time.

that's me...I smoke when I go out to be social with people...This weekend, I probably smoked an entire pack of smokes, I haven't had a smoke since Monday. prob won't smoke again until this weekend...but that's only if we go out. I don't really crave it. I just hate looking like a nerd with the DD drink in my hand.

I haven't had a cig in 5 weeks, but will admit to the clove use. I hope to slow that down once my summer classes end. Hoping to be done with all smoking except fun things by the end of the summer.
I will also say no more 2 diet Mountain Dews a day are also a part of my move toward better health. I do drink tea if I need a kick but it's just that, water, homemade juicer juice, and beer...down 11 lbs from it too.

I am curious as to the duration of the withdrawal that people experienced while quitting. Obviously this will vary from person to person.
I'm on Day 4. I got through my first day of work without any problems, but cannot at this time guarantee the safety of my roommate.
