Ive Quit Smoking

Yes Its True Ive Quit Smoking

For those's who didnt know in the first place I was a pipe Smoker and before that a heavy Ciggy Smoker

I started smoking at the age of 17 (Stupid me) By the age of 19 I was on 60 per day

So basicly I smoked Ciggys for 7 Years until I Joined the TA Thats when I ended up being a pipe Smoker for 6 years until Now
Why A pipe Well Its a long story but the jist of it is Its holds more backie and lasts longer !

So Think of all that Money I wasted

ITS A BAD HABBIT DONT START

 

Congrats dude. I've pretty much managed to quit completely too, those tabs I smoked on the Charity Gig notwithstanding!

 

well done that man !!



hope it's all going well for you - be strong, use the force

if you can quit smoking you can do anything

 

Well done mate! I stopped 5 months ago so I know what you are going through.

 

Thanks guys ! Ive passed the crankey bit and im moving on with new things

 

Well done Dave

 

Cool, well done. Some people say it's easier to quit heroin than smoking so keep it up! And think of all the extra SW goodies you can buy with the money you save

 

Its been 7 days now and im still feeling ok (sat next to my Bf a heavy smoker dont help )

 

From my experience (I had a mate who was a smack addict) and I can confirm through him that he's finding it harder to give up smoking than he ever found heroin.




Mind you a lot of difference is in the support you get. He came down through using methadone (Actively encouraged and supported through the NHS with free prescriptions etc...) Smoking is actively encouraged but not supported by the government (tax) and as a result it's all willpower as he can afford nicorette etc..


poor bugger

 

OK IM SMOKING AGAIN SEE YORK PICS FOR INTO THEN SLAP MY HAND

 

Ban him!

 

Hmm, that's not a bad incentive. Ban the Master until he's been smoke free for 3 months muahahahaha

 

As someone who gave up, then restarted, I know how hard it really is. Disapproving of someone who goes back is not the best way to help. It's not easy.

 

Yes Is Not easy to give up (You would think while at the York meet up one of the Jedi Knights wouuld have took my pipe off me ---- Did they NO

Ive said to myself thats it once this 25g has gone Im stopping for good.

 

hehe I thought about it, but then realised that you were a lot taller than me and I might just end up needing stitches

You'll do it. Maybe you need your other half to also give up. I managed it, but did slip a few times. couldn't go in a pub for months.

 

I still laugh about when we met and you said Go Away I was going to sod off home then !
Yes Im tryiing to get my Partner to give up (But he does'nt drink so he needs some bad habbits)

Im getting there slowly tho - You could have Took my pipe off me Im NOT a fighting person Ive never hit anyone yet I dont Intend to start Ither !

 

Aha, I've seen what lack of tobacco can do to a person. Tis the path to the dark side

I'm sure Chris (your partner is Chris I think - no good with names) drank - he had a pint with Colin and I. Not a big drinker though.

Next meet, I'll confiscate the pipe and maybe Jase can take us down routes without tobacco or pipe shops

 

so it that an open invitation, that if seen we can take your pipe off you ??

I can imagine it must be twice as tough to quit smoking when someone close to you smokes - like I said on the train one of my best friends tried for years to quit but he lived in a house of smokers so never really stood a chance !!

just try & stick in there & do what you can - but you can only do it for yourself, you only have one life (depending on religion) and you've got to strike a balance of health & happiness (oh & money )

 

Me without a pipe NEVER
Ill turn to the Dark side b4 that happens ! yes My partners called Chris - What did you think of him !

 

Nice fella Not as mad on Star Wars as we are lol Admitted to being a Trekkie But I reassured him that that wasn't a crime. It's the Trekkies who don't llike Star Wars fans, not the other way round.

Ok, that makes two of us who are gonna go grabbing your pipe. Make sure you don't bring a valuable one to the next meet lol

Honestly, you'll do it but it isn't easy. You probably need to invest in quite a few lead free pencils to chew on.

 

Ok, I don't want any double entendre's from that statement

 

HAHA HAHA Ive Been there !!!

I stopped Heavy drinking a few years ago ( I was bad for it )

 

lol Spike - I'm a married woman

I've quitted worse. Hitted the walls for months. Imho, giving up an addiction is all about distraction once you get past the withdrawal phase.

Drinking is a tough one to give up cos it's socially acceptable, more so than smoking. In fact, I don't often drink - a half of lager when hot perhaps, but otherwise nothing. Many a person has assumed I'm "on the wagon" lol Either that or a Methodist
