Good luck to all with this. even cutting down helps, so be positive about what you are achieving even with the odd setback. Find another addiction, I found getting fit helped, cos it makes you hate what the tabs are doing to you. eventually it was a chance meeting with an Aussie, who was going cold turkey on his massive weed habit that put it into perspective for me. Whenever I was tempted, I thought of what he was going through and told myself to get a grip etc etc.
anyway, chins up and save your tab money for bike bling
binners dont beat yourself up over it.
If you smoke a fag on average say one an hour- just double the time between each fag. Then when comfortable- again.
I went from smoking 20 on a night out (waking up with yellowed-fingers) to 10 to 5. then when I did go cold-turkey I'd 'made my bed as comfortable as possible' so to speak 🙂
Don't smoke, just wanted to say good luck.
I put on a patch (full tar) yesterday morning, just so I could say I made some effort on no smoking day. Didn't smoke, but it was a close thing.
Put another one on this morning to see what happens. Haven't caved yet. Baby steps...
dont worry binners
even that nice mr sixx had problems 😀
I jacked tabs about 4 years ago, cold turkey style. non of this namby pamby patch rubbish no way.
This is the only way. you have to want to give up. I mean really want to. What did it for me was my last stretch in the desert before I left the mob. I was doing 40 a day as it's so boring and depressing out there. I could feel my body and lungs going downhill fast so I decided in the carpark after getting dropped off after tyhe journey back that this was it. And it was. 6 years and counting. 7 days is the first barrier and after that you just take strength from what you have achieved and how crap you must be to let something like that rule your life. 3 months and you start to feel really good. At 6 you start to cough up all that shite as your lung cleaning mechanisms start to kick in again. Do it. I could never go back now. I do put away an awful amount of beer at a weekend now though!
This thread has inspired me to work on giving up the junk food. I need to MTFU.
binners dont beat yourself up over it.
No Binners, don't. 🙁
