Great advice HD JDL and George, I think strength of mind is important.

I once quit smoking for about a year, after that a week, now smoking like a chimney again. It seems to be linked to my alcohol intake somehow…

well just remember what george best once said .  he said i once gave up drinking and women it was the worst fifteen minutes of my life ….....................................

Used to be this way as well. Glad I got rid of cigarettes -absolutely the most useless and gross habit one can have. That and being from Mansfield.

Smoking ends on August 9th. That is all.

…which is both admirable (I'm still a chimney) and ominous - that's the 45th anniversary of the Manson Family murders...

[Megatron1505]

Ha ha, can't say it entered my thinking but I'll take it. I go on holiday on that day so I just figured it best to stop on a week where I'll have other stuff to occupy my mind 

[costanza]

Good luck!

Thats great Gav

I quited smoking after 17years heavy smoking on 31 dec 2008 one day to the other half a year after i quited drinking alcohol from one day to the other. Since then nada mas.

I have not a problem when people drink or smoke in front of me though

You got this Gav! Good idea finding other things to occupy yourself. Take up a light workout regimen that you can do anywhere for when cravings hit, the extra blood flow really helps curb cravings.

Thanks guys, it's a weird thing but I go all day at work every day without even thinking about smoking. This tells me that my smoking is a psychological dependence, which is easier to deal with for me.

As opposed to what, something that forces you to go back to those Mansfield corners giving 1£ handjobs?..

Someone make a "stiff competition" joke whilst we're at it, not trying to be cocky but y'know…

[Megatron1505]

Quit day is today, I will read this thread for inspiration, decision is made.
