Stopping smoking!!

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 movement.

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.

Careful – you will get Elf enquiring after your movements 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 smugness AWESOME 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 😕

Would the prospect frighten her into stopping

that’s the general idea…. 😀

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

Day two.

Please excuse any trolling.

Good luck scuzz… 😀
Lady g, finger pull time m’dear, cast away your your chains of baccy..stand tall’ and say NO MORE!!…….FREEEEDOOMMM!!!! GRRRRRR!! Braveheart stylee 😀
Satsuma? or a smint….

Tell you what; I heard Khani coughing up some right nuggets today, I was actually quite frightened.

I can take out a sparrow at fifty yards at the mo’ 8)
It’s all coming up now, thirty three years worth of ‘greb’…! 😕
Better out than in… 😀

after a bad few days, morgs needs to get re-motivated and needs to select a new stop day 🙁

😥
Today?….

Don’t worry fella. Its ok to fall off. Just get back on when you’re ready. I’ve been off for 3 weeks now. I’ve done the maths this morning and I reckon I’ve saved £120.60.

That’s some serious motivation. Specifically that represents exactly one fifth of the cost of a Kona Blink at JE James at the moment. Not that there’s any reason I’m using that as a frame of reference. That was just a simple comparison I plucked out of the air 😉

Honest.. 🙄
Come on morgs..it’s not over yet, one step back after a hundred forward isn’t the end mate
TEEJAYYY!!!!! Get puckerin………

Feel your pain morgs, had a shite few days also, work stresses, relationship fail/end and a dose of man-flu have all lead to naughty Mr Benson knocking on my door 😥

Oops is it ok to mention doors? 😳

Not back ones……..
Naughty… 😳

It’s that three-week thing Yeti was on about, morgs.

Deep breath, re-read your original posts and go again when you’re ready.

Oops is it ok to mention doors?

Depends. Are they back doors? 😆

It’s been a rubbish few days for the 16 household, too. I was mentally totting up the cash I’d saved from denying the advances of Mr. John Player (£125) and thinking about a fancy new ride. Then we found an infestation of wood worm thingies in our back room that’s going to take £200 to put right. One step forward, two steps back…

There have been moments of weakness.

But I don’t want to be a smoker any more. That’s my bottom (fnarf fnarf) line.

Good luck all.

Morgs – you’re still officially awesome to me. Fenred – slam those doors in Mr. Benson’s face, dude. It’s not too late!

Here\s a great big hanger door:

I don’t know whether its at the front or the back?

Looks like a gentle operation (no bashing allowed). So it’s probably a front door. 🙂

Still game for playing out fenred, give us a shout when your up for it. 😀

morgs / fenred – get back on the wagon 🙂

And all giving-up smokers* are allowed to mention doors … its a special temporary reprive granted by the women’s lib police 😉

*actually, surely some of you are now ‘EX-SMOKERS’! Yey, permission is now awarded to be an annoying smug bar-steward …

right. motivation needed. I have the pang for it……tonight. get this crappy day at work finished and get my personal statement written tonight (PCGE Application – another source of huge stress) then its smokey-free time 🙂

Can’t be smug til the axis of awesome are one….. 😥

My private jet only fits thru the front door of my hanger binners, I definately wouldnt want that thing smashing through the back.

Camo, you’re right fella and hats off to all of the strength and awesometastical willpower shown by the A-Team quiters.

Still game for playing out fenred, give us a shout when your up for it.

Yep, still game bud, been gripped by man-flu for past week so not fit but could be around on Sunday if you’re free?

it’ll be the afternoon if I am, I’ll let you know..
