smoking

Yes, good luck @ally1 and if it helps you can always tell us how you are progressing with it. If we don't hear from you we will think you have been smoking behind the bike shed.
 
You can do this @ally1 .
Use and abuse the SCREEM thread. Mind u loads use them so it must be an asset.
How long does it take to be a non-smoker or is that you - now?
I guess if you're off the cigarettes you're now a non-smoker.
How do you feel being a non-smoker?

Like the booze I reckon you're always a recovering smoker, and anything can tip you back over. My father in law gave up the weed twenty years ago but still admits that occasionally, he could murder a fag, particularly if he has a glass of wine in his hand. He is a man of enormous willpower and pride, however, and when he gave up he announced the fact to all his colleagues, friends and family - he would not have been able to bear the indignity of admitting that he had subsequently fallen off the wagon - and he hasn't.

It's a bit like giving up cakes, sweets and carbs: go on admit it: what wouldn't you give for a nice M&S lasagne? :D

Good luck, Ally: tobacco is a very addictive substance, so the more help you can get to give up, be it from psychological support, e-cigs or whatever, the better.
 
It's 6 hours without a smoke, so far so good

@ally1

Good lass put the money you would spend on fags each week away for a month and then give yourself a monthly treat (meal out or new item of clothing)

Good luck

Well done @ally1
I dont know how many you used to smoke, but how every many it was, that is how many times you have chosen not to smoke. I found that more motivational that adding the days up. They take 24 hours just to tick up one. But if you are on say 15 a day, you have already passed up over 20 times

I was smoking 40 aday
 
Just noticed your fasting reading of 9.1. That's great another encouragement to keep going. Well done.
