I wish my other half would stop smoking. As soon as I fell pregnant with our first child, smoking became so repulsive to me I quiet straight away. Once I had him, we went out for a drink and I started up again. That didn't last long as I fell pregnant again 2 months later and again smoking went out the door, well for me anyway.
I can't stand the smell or the taste.
Good one guys for giving smoking the boot. It is becoming such a socially unacceptable thing.
Keep up the good work!!
good on ya!!!! am so glad to hear i am not suffering alone eheheh!!!!
hmmm... day 2! its but a distant memory now.......I STILL WANT A CIGARETTE....but it is no where near as bad as it was then. those first 5 days or so were the weirdest........
i have to confess..... i have had a few "half smokes" but they give me no joy or satisfaction..........so i know i am in for the long haul.
i dont know, some days i feel so inspired about it ---- it makes me feel so glad to realise i am finally doing it, i have finally quit! and i am realising just how afraid i was before. how afraid i was of "failing", how i didn't hink i would cope, how i would be destined to die a painful death and no one would have sympathy for me cause i SMOKED. shit. and i really think i believed i might go crazy from not being able to smoke - sounds weird i know, but that i might get in a stressful situation, or be awkard and embaressed, and NEED a smoke....and myabe go MAD by not being able to have one. i dunno, sounds weird i nkow, but smoking is such an emotional thing for me.....such a "crutch" of support, when i am stressed, or sad, or feeling awkard in a social situation..........etc etc.
after the first couple of days i realised that i could live without the post-dinner smoke, the coffee and cigarette routine, the cigarette while onthe phone, the smoke on the drive to uni etc etc. these rountines were not so hard to break.....it was more the fear of "what happens if i get stressed???" how am i going to get thourhg exams without cigarettes ??? argh! etc etc.
its hard to describe. and its great to hve support, from all people, smokers and non-smokers alike, but i think if you have never smoked yourself...you just don't know how strange it is, to crave this thing you know is bad for you, the mixture of guilt and stuff....... its horrible! and i have tried to describe it to non-smoker friends................and its almost impposbile to be relate it to anything else. maybe unless you have been a drug user or something, i dont know.
anway.....good luck andy!!!!!!!!!! i feel your pain, seriously, but its been almost 2 weeks now and it does get better - i mean, it feels better than it did those first few days...... but by all accounts, from reformed smokers, it almost never quite goes away. even my doctor, who gave up smoking 20 years ago, reckons there are times when he wishes for a smoke. sigh. oh well!!!!!
good luck!!!!!!!!!!!! and thanks to everyone for the support!

ps. do we need to start a "fishing annon" group?? heheh. i forgot about that..............
lil dub, just remeber all you have gone thru since you stopped smoking, and think how it will all be for nothing if you take it up again.
The cravings will get less and less, believe me. Stick with it!

tell you what, you tell me in two weeks from today how many ciggies you have had since now, (Fags are different, you are a consenting adult and what you get up to in your own time is entirely personal:P just as we don't ask about your "fishing" habits anymore :P ), and I'll do something for you.
I have no doubt you'll do this, give up the smokes that is, particularly with all the folk here pushing (and that goes for everyone else who is trying) you along the way.

so today is my one month aniversary!!!!
HOORARY!!!!!!!!
i still think about it as much as ever....but dont LONG for it as much as before...........
now its kinda of like an old friedn, that i miss very much, but know now is just a f**kwit who betrayed me, so even if i THINK i miss it sometimes, i know that actually i am better off
does that make any sense??? no.......
well. I AM STIULL A NON-SMOKER (despite what drew thinks heheheh....yes i bum one occassionally....but come on...its got to be better than 20 a day!!!)
thanks for all the support everyone -- you are awesome --- if only you were here to see me turn into a cranky bitching ugly nicotine deprived weirdo ...which happens aboput once a day or so.....
i have so much ANGST inside myself... where did this come from???????
was i putting it into my cigarettes?????
why am i so pissed all the time at the slightest thing???
argh???
anyway -- before this turns into a THERAPY session (or before i start talking about fishing, poo jokes and spewing ) i will stop, and just say i have been kinda cranky and it really surprises me.....
what else? hope you are all going well ------ andy...hang in there - i quit over the flu as well and it helped heaps...
and as for personal trainers...my came from the same nazi-school-of-aerobics-oz-style training....last week....as i struggled in REAL pain over the stepper thingo.....the little shit-head had the guts to tell me "come on...keep going...only 50 seconds...you can do it....think of those old smokers lungs of yours working away.....: surely the man must know that i am virtually homicidal and so close to killing someone, anyone, who annoys me let alone tortures me with cardio workouts...........
anyway =-- thats the end of my epic....
soon it will be 6 months...........
then one year.......
and then just a distant memory.......the occasional lung cancer paranoia.......but hopefully i will be free of this painful sadness that i feel when i come out of a lecture and see someone else lighting up ...............i am the ultimate passive smoker........the smell....ahhhhh.
but there is no weakness - am a non smoker now yay 😀
