    Gave up the ould smoking there last Thursday and didn't trust myself to go out boozing tonight as I know I'd let myself down after a few pints.

    I think I've read, seen and listened to everything on the internet at this stage!


    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    There's only so much wood you can tug before you get bored.

    I presume we're talking boats here?

    Start a hobby. Preferably somewhere that smoking is forbidden so the demon cigarettes won't be a factor or temptation. Well done by the way. Really wish I could do the same.

    Take up smoking. It's cheaper than having a baby & healthier.

    I've tried and its always ended in failure, I've got to the stage now where I feel its something I enjoy and keeps me sane so why quit. I tend to not look too far into the future and potential health problems.

    Drink lots and lots of alcohol. I use it to soften the blow whenever I try to quit :)


    If I don't I seriously end up near a psychotic/nervous breakdown and hence why i have been unable to quit.

    I quit over a year ago. Trick is to not even think about it, mistake I made before was letting myself think about it and eventually convincing myself I was never gonna last so might as well have one.

    Tried the old refusing to think about it at all trick and wore patches for 2 weeks and it was job done. Just went from being a smoker to being a non smoker.

    Its great getting up in the morning not coughing your guts up. Still pretty bored though :pac:

    Nice, fair play.

    My housemate said he wore patches for 2 weeks and didn't need to smoke or even get the urge to. He just got drunk many times after this afer having a bit extra money in his wallet after not buying cigarettes but he unfortunatey took up smoking again in his drunken state.

    I'm not a smoker, but your post has agreed with what my housemate said. So it seems that those nicotine patches seem to work.

    Fair play to you! I know how unbelievably tough it is – the constant urge to have a smoke, then remembering you don’t anymore, and subsequently feeling like ****, but hang in there.

    There’s an Alan Carr dvd – you could prob find on the net somewhere its only about 20 mins long – but it’s good, it just shows people smoking & it looks so repulsive it’ll reinforce why you want to quit.

    Other than that distraction is the best thing:

    Sweat it out & get fit www.bodyrock.tv
    Take up some new hobbie or some sort of challenge for yourself – give you something else to focus on - http://www.ted.com/talks/matt_cutts_try_something_new_for_30_days.html

    Best of luck!
