thank you for you imputation. I will try my very best to stopHi ally. I gave up around April time last year with the help of a vaper.
I'm going to try and choose my words carefully as I don't want to sound like I found it easy as it is hard. I tried to keep bits of celery and ham to nibble on to keep my hands busy (the vaper does help with this too!). I won't lie I did put a bit of weight on but, and it's big but, I feel so much better for it.
I wish you good luck and please keep posting. I'll be more than happy to try and help keep you motivated!!
thank you Liam. I,m smoking 40 a day and just cannot afford to smoke that muchHi ally1. I began using a vape last year and although I am still using it, have cut down drastically on cigarettes. Since Tuesday I have only smoked 4 in total. Week before I smoked 7 cigarettes, each and every week it varies - but I used to smoke 15 to 20 EVERY day. On a medical point of view my Asthma is the best it's ever been - gone is the wheezing for good. Good Luck - You will do it.
my packet of cigarettes are 7.98 so 15.96 adayHi ally1 - An expensive habit!! How much do you pay for a 20 pack? If I can be of any help? Just say. What is the nicotine strength of your vape?
in the past, I tried patches but found they didn't, t help negood luck to u
my hubby was a heavy smoker and gave up when he was in hospital waiting for major surgery. they were very good with him there and put him on patches, which were reduced by the surgery nurse when he was back home. It is hard so dont beat urself up if u have a blip
I will do your suggestion and put the money in a pot.Hi ally1. Look at it this way = the money (£15.96) per day put in a tin or pot each day and you will soon see it mount up! I call it "my treats" and from that money saved I have bought a year membership with the National Trust, a new Kindle HD, New mobile phone -( ok, so it was in the sale for £75). My only concern is that I enjoy the taste of food - and I did put on 2stone - but, was it going on Insulin that did it? Or not smoking cigarettes? I BLAME the Insulin!!! But, I have managed to loose 1 stone 4lbs since last May (2015)
thank you, I like your idea of doing jobs.I gave up October 2014 as after 30-ish years of smoking was finding that the stairs was making me breathless and so far this has been my most successful quit as have not had one since, which I put down to failing health being the motivation. I can't advise on the comfort eating but what I did was write a long list of everything I needed to do around the house from big jobs such as shifting furniture to clean behind to small jobs such as oiling door hinges. Then everytime I would have normally gone for a smoke or felt the craving I would get up and do something off of the list. The list kept me going for 2 months by which point I had broken the back of things.
Anyway good luck
