Nice one chaps
Bowel movement update?
I find things are balancing themselves out fred. The first cig of the day always had a somewhat... ahem... how to put this...'loosening' effect. A bit like a pace car, if you like. Leading from the front, so to speak
The amount of Vitamin C I'm now consuming seems to be having the same effect. Do you need any more detail?
Are you germanian or something?
Gettin back to normal thank you.......
Oh dear, seems I'm a failure at quitting, as well as all the other things I'm a failure at 😥
But well done chaps - keep up the good work.
What's this about a Manchester meet? Give me some details and reinforce it in my head that I won't be welcome unless I quit. Right now.
I want to be able to swim a few lengths without feeling like I'm going to drown.
C'mon Lady G.
Wanna give it another shot? You know you do really. I'll give up too - don't let me down!
Scuzz - 1st of Dec - meet in Deansgate and go for something to eat and a few drinkies!!
I need to know numbers and where to book!
Hmmm, ok, I'll give it another go - even cutting down for a couple of days last week made a difference to my lungs 🙂
Does that mean I get to go for drinkies with you guys? Only problem is, I don't like curry!
Right, ok, I'm definitely quitting tomorrow - I hope!
Lady G; you're not a failure, not at all. Don't see yourself like that, because that leads to self-loathing and negative thoughts which just does not in any way help at all.
You're just finding it difficult, which it is. You're [i]Human[/i].
If you've cut right down, that's a massive step forward, no? Be positive....
I cut right down for two days only 🙁
But I have two nicotine patches lined up ready for tomorrow morning 🙂
Was thinking Bem Brazil..... thoughts? And no L-G - you're not barred!
DAY ONE.
off we go 🙂
Go scuzz(y) go scuzz(y) GO! [a la Mr Springer]
Good luck folks. You can do it. I seem to be managing ok. And my lack of willpower is legendary. I've just reached the point when I really have had enough.
Morgs - lets find out who's in for drinkies next week, and where everyone's coming from, and we can work out the best venue for transport links. No shortage of good venues in town
I'm definitely there! Who else? 😀
Is bagpuss joining us binners? Camo was game, Lady_G and me.....so that's 5.....
She will indeed. I'm insisting on it, as she's suffered me being a right bad tempered bugger so she deserves a night out out of it at least 😀
Good luck to you all - I'm still smoke-free since end of Aug 2010, and if I can manage it (finally) anybody can.. Still miss'em sometimes, but the bike's keeping me honest. And my missus can't moan if I spend odd moments tinkering with the bike, as I just point out that I'd have only been outside having a fag otherwise eh?
I can't believe the cost of straights these days anyway, I'd never be able to afford to smoke now (30 a day, rollies mind you).
Keep it up, think how much fitter / faster / more enjoyable riding (& life in general) will be - trust me, it is..
good plan. Would it be best to arrange off-forum? email me morgsDOTbdaviesATgmailDOTcom
Oh yeah, I think I'm in, as long as this is a +1 situation.
Mrs 16 has gone through too much to be left gnashing her teeth at home!
Spending a lot of time idle with an inability to concentrate. This is frustration...
@ scuzz
Your inability to concentrate is a classic symptom for the just-turned-ex-smoker.
It does get better. Promise.
Satsuma?
Sorry cant make the social evening on the 1st.
Come on scuzz, you can do it.
Camo - Mrs16 is more than welcome.
Go on scuzzy - you can do it! Just think, after 24 hours, your join club awesome!

STW was made for moments like that type some random gibberish ona thread.
It gets better and it gets easier
11th day off the fags today, feeling great, drinking a lot of water. Reckon I've saved £65 quid already too 🙂
This is no longer a thread. It's a [i]movement[/i].
Nice going, randomjeremy!
It's been three weeks for me, which means I've saved well over £100.
The knowledge that I have wasted huge heaps of cash on smokes makes me feel one-third 😳 , one-third 👿 and one-third 😥 .
Camo - Mrs16 is more than welcome.
Sweet! I'll confirm tomorrow dude.
camo16 - MemberThis is no longer a thread. It's a movement.
Careful - you will get Elf enquiring after your [i]movements [/i]again
lol@ TJ!
You given Lady_G a snog yet?
Thanks Camo16, it was kind of a happy accident, I was rushing to catch a plane and left my smokes at home, didn't have time to buy any more on the way to the airport either. By the time I'd landed at my destination, sorted out a car and got on the road it had been nearly a day already, and I thought "I'll try this". That was 11 days ago and I can't see myself going back now.
I feel tired all the time which I guess is because I don't have the drug coursing my veins, but I'm sleeping deeply which is good. Taste is better already, smell better, and that smokers' guilt has gone. I swear smoking makes a person depressed!
I even went for a 2 mile run yesterday.....
Well done RJ! Welcome to the [s]smugness[/s] [b]AWESOME[/b] Club 😀
Work day one complete. Ended up having to get lost in something random... Bring on the evening!
lol@ TJ!You given Lady_G a snog yet?
Would the prospect frighten her into stopping 😕
that's the general idea.... 😀Would the prospect frighten her into stopping
Lady G - Yooo hoo
*puckers up*
😆 your gonna need Botox soon with all this puckering TJ...
Ok, I'll be honest - I haven't cut em out completely today, but only had three so far. I was just about to light up another when I saw TJ puckering up 😕 Maybe I won't!
Don't be hard on yourself though Lady G. See the reduction as part of winning the war. You might lose the odd battle, but the aim is to be healthier, right? So, any reduction is a good thing.
Tomorrow, try to only have two. And so on.
Tell you what; I heard Khani coughing up some right nuggets today, I was actually quite frightened. 😥
Tee hee
Just keep that image in your mind lady G

It's all coming up now, thirty three years worth of 'greb'...! 😕
Better out than in... 😀

😥
Today?....
