GTRgeoff Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Awesome stuff Shell. Money saved for mods and you'll feel better. I felt so much better after 12 years smoking up to 1-1/2 packs a day that within 3 years I had won a silver medal at the national cycling championships. I still like an occasional Havana but only on real special occassions. Now how do I quit having a stuffed back????

Shell Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 hooray for shellypants been about 6 months for me (quite a heavy smoker) feel pretty good well done lovely aww thanks jimbo and well done to you too!... 6 months is great, do you still have cravings? and i have question for you, or anyone else who's quit... Did you get sick?? Cos seriously....within one week of quitting I got a fluey head cold type thing - had to take a day off work... then it seemed to get *a bit* better and then last Friday it came back REALLY bad and I had heaps runny nose and got a cough so bad that I almost lost my voice After talking to a couple of guys at work who have quit, they're all like "oh yeah, you get really sick" I feel like I've had the flu for about a month now and I'm not the type that usually gets sick ever! SkyGTRline & Frink.. well done!!! GO TEAM! I'll be checking back to make sure you haven't caved in!!

Sl!m Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 well I have finally done it!! I'm sooo proud of myself!!!It's been about 5 weeks so far and I've been through all the hard tests like drinking alcohol, and sitting around (at BBQs, pubs etc) while other people are smoking. So, has anyone else here quit?? How long did you smoke for and how did you go about giving it up? I quit for 8 months, I was sitting around @ the pubs, BBQ's etc all the time and drinking without smoking.. but I started up again.. Not to say you are not doing good.. ( GO SHELL!! heeh ) but it's an ongoing fight for a while.. I'll be quiting again soon I hope. I got sick about 2 weeks after quiting, most people I know do/did Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/139460-i-have-quit-smoking/page/2/#findComment-2601439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shell Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 id quit not this wed but the one before so... bout a week and a half.. Went out last night... Got totaly smashed... and did have a few smokes... Does this count... it's ok... lots of people have a little relapse! don't think "stuff it i may as well just give up another time now" just put it behind you!! good luck!! I'm happy about the new laws too!! makes it easier for me!! and if you think these laws are bad you should go to QLD... their new laws are you can't smoke anywhere, not even in the outside bits (like beer gardens etc). Even at the races I went to you couldnt smoke on the huge grass lawns, it sucked!! I think that's a bit harsh...you should be able to smoke outside.

JaiJai Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Its an intresting debate, comming from ACT where you could smoke in a pub to QLD where its banned altogether soon they should just make it illegal to smoke alltogether!
