I Have Quit Smoking!

[SKYLVIA]

goooooooooo team!

[cactu5]

I smoked for ten years. For a while I was smoking a pack a day. I decided one day that I couldn't cut down the same way other people were able to, and I was sick of being controlled by it. So I had two goes at quiting. The first time I lasted a week. Then I had the shits because I could only last a week, so I quit again. This time I went on patches for two weeks. You've got to remember to take them off at night. Every time I left one on I had nightmares, and would wake up in the middle of the night and rip it off. I was sick, my chest felt shit, but after two weeks I pretty much felt right. I wasn't going through all that again, so I stayed quit. It was really, really difficult.

What kept me going was being told that one day I wont feel like one, and I'd forget all about smokes, and it's true.

so how long has it been since you quit cactu5?

Did anybody else use patches?... i didnt (haha i'm so hardcore lol) but I figured if i needed them i could go get some, but I've been alright without them.

my good news is I'm finally over the sickness thank fck for that... 5 weeks with the flu is quite enough thanks

[sigsputnik]

5 weeks! That's no good. I quit in 2001, I thought about them for a while. I tried a smoke 7 months later and put it out half way through. It's good that you've managed to quit without the patches because you have to quit the patches too. Sorry for the late reply. Are you still off them?

[Shell]

yes I still haven't touched one :PBJ:

gone too far now to cave in..

but I wanna know how SkyGTRline and Frink are going... report in boys!

smoking can help kill you in almost every single way known to medicine. the only thing that im aware of it haveing a benefit is in parkinsons. and even then it doesnt stop it just slows it a bit. but wile its doing that its killing u in other ways.

3 weeks and 1 day for me..

but I used patches.. no way I could do it without

[Shell]

well done Sam!

patches or not, doesnt matter, all that matters is you're not smoking!!

[Sl!m]

I love the dreams you get with patches.. most people hate them.. but its like watching a movie and being in it at the same time lol

[Marsss]

A year on and it's been 11 weeks since my last cig.

I gave up without the help of patches or any such thing.. i guess i was just ready to do it.. and i hope yr still smoke free..

[eMsta]

ahah yeah exactly one year on - grats to all those who quit

i never started for the simple fact that my dad would have killed me....and as i grew older, i learnt how destructive smoking can be......

[Shell]

yeppers i'm still smoke free... i realised the other day that it had been a year (Sept 18 to be exact lol)... woohoo!

when you're a smoker and decide to quit, it's hard to believe that there will come a time when you don't even think about cigarettes anymore but it's true.

go marssssssss... 11 weeks is awesome
