Well done...you can do itHello my. Name is david i'm a smoker and i haven't had a ciggy for 2 days
I was a very heavy smoker, this was before I found out I was diabetic. My Dad was diabetic and I know his greatest wish was for me to give up. I did, and I did it cold turkey. I did this 6 months after my Fathers departure from this earth. I suffered horrendous depression and withdrawal on top of grieving the loss of my lovely dad. My advice - keep at it, be strong - don't give in, I am the most stubborn person I know and managed to do it! Once I was diagnosed with diabetes, my Doctor said - giving up smoking as a diabetic is the best thing you will have ever done. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, I used to dream of huge oversized cigarettes, so big they needed a support to rest on ! Your naughty pleasure chemicals in your brain will play tricks on you, don't listen to them ! Best of luck to you. Remember - you can do it !Hi all after 45 years of smoking, chest infections every year, smokers coughs countless other problems and now my diabetes i have decided to give up the awful habit ,so i went to see the smoking nurse at my surgery this evening to get help. We decided the best way forward for me would be champix tablets , after going through all the side effects with me and to keep a close eye on my bg levels as the tablets can effect these i pick up my first script on thursday.And so my friends join me on my journey because i need all the help and encouragement i can get.
Well done David, keep going! I was a committed smoker of 50-60 cigs a day, I went the e-cig way and I don't think I would have ever done it without it - even with it it was tough as it will never be quite as satisfying as the real thing but I persevered. Still vape low strength now, I could probably stop, but I do enjoy it with a drink!Hi my name is david i`m a smoker and i haven`t had a ciggy for 6 days.and i feel good.
