Here we go, I am in the peocess of giving up the deadly habit of smoking.

Because I am now really scared that it will take me to an (earlier) grave.

My question is:

 

Have you given it up and how hard was that to do? :mac1:

Good luck! My partner gave up almost a year ago and WHOA! -it was like living with the devil!!!! Bad temper & ate me out of house! But we re fine now so hang on in there! (She went to smokestop and used patches)

Yes mate, stopped about 9 months ago, but have felt like a non-smoker (without the sanctimonious part) for a while now. :hyper:

 

I had tried about 900000000 times in the past, but this time I read a book that I've mentioned before on here: "Alan Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking", it really helped me, more than patches etc, that I'd tried in the past. The book struck a chord with me, and it's the only way I think I was ever gonna do it.

 

Don't really miss it now, but I do miss being able to fit into a lot of my clothes, because now I enjoy my food and drink *even* more and I am consequently an *even* fatter B****** ;) .

 

Having said that, I do feel a lot better for it, although the first 6 weeks were awful as my lungs were on self cleanse, as all manner of shite made its way out :hurl:

 

Still, better out than in, as they say! :D

 

Best of luck,

JB.
