....and when Ho hum found out when TSY was away in Scotland, he donned his best house-breaking gear and headed around to pay his house a little visit

Has anyone here achieved lasting success through the 'just stopping' method or am I destined to end up back on the fags AND fat too?!
yep. 1997 was when I quit, cold turkey, going from about 15 a day to zero "just because I wanted to"
I'm fatter now than I was then, but that's probably more to do with the beer, the desk job & not enough exercise, than the not smoking. there's a lesson here somewhere...

I'll be up there a couple of times in the coming months...
First off I'll be travelling the length of it passing through Edinburgh, Pitlochry, Invergarry, Invergorden, Wick, JOG, Thurso.
If anyone fancies some roadmiles let me know, could help ease the invetible infighting
If anyone lives in Thurso and can give me a bike sized box that'd be absolutely fantastic Posted 1 year ago # -
Molgrips - you're not due any sort of life crisis for a few years
I've been having one since July 1998. That replaced the previous one.

Gave up the ciggies 31st Jan this year after smoking all my adult life, 46 now ( 20+ a day ). Got in very muddy after a ride home from work and only a couple of fags in the house.
Really couldn't be bothered to get showered then drive to cashpoint then shops for some more so decided to see if I could pack them in. I had never even tried to pack it in before that, suppose I just liked smoking. I pretty much saw it as a dare to myself to see if I could do it. Tempted many times since and could quite easily have got away with a few crafty ones but then I would have failed my dare. Just use one of those inhalator thingies now and again.
Definitely been eating more but then again been out on the bike more too. Saved quite a bit of cash too so far so paying for the biking holiday up the west coast of Scotland for the mrs and I will be easier.
I should have done it years ago
Good luck to anyone else trying to pack them in.

I think running may now be my new addiction...
I'm doing 5K every other day and my 'relaxation' days start with that 3 minute brisk walk/2 minute walk/1 minute sprint thing (repeat x5 = 30 mins).
JD Sports are doing a half price deal on snazzy New Balance running gear at the moment so I've managed to get all colour coordinated too.

The Allan Carr book just irritated me and made me want to punch his face in. Load of bolloxs psychobabble.
+1 TJ. Got to the end of the book, followed all the instructions with as open a mind as I could muster, and was dismayed to find, 40 minutes later, that I wanted a cigarette very badly
Off them now (for perhaps the sixth time) and on the 2mg lozenges. Two months now and feeling v guilty for still popping the pills. Don't want a cigarette now though, but if I ran out of pills I would panic

I read it 12 years ago and thought it just made sense. Haven't touched one since.
Bit of a shame that he died of lung cancer though. Irony is a w@nker.
