Well done Tony keep at it, I speak from experience of working in a chest unit for many years and have seen the disastrous effect smoking can have on friends and relatives left behind, at such young ages

Well done Tony. It's a rotten addiction but at least you know now that you won't die cos you haven't got a f*g. I still fancy one now and its been over 4 years but I'm strong enough to resist the temptation.

Well done Tony, I wish it was me. I started last Friday and don't know how I am surviving but I have.

Can you remember when you first stopped? How long before the craving gets any better? Did you feel funny? I feel odder than usual ;D

And I am coughing a lot and I never used to have a smokers cough.

Get yourself to your doctors! I saw the nurse at our surgery, had a chat and decided on best course of action for me. I am on the 15mg patches, the 18hr ones (not the 24hr ones) these are for the first 8 weeks, then a lower dosage for a couple of weeks, then stop the patches. I had the patches all sorted before I started,and told everyone around me I was giving up, you need moral support, sometimes! ;)
good luck, rgds, tony

Hi Tony,

I went to the doctors today and have started the programme run by the NHS. I went cold turkey last Friday then started the patches on Sunday, 21 mg/24 hr. Had really bad nights sleep and they also irritaed the skin. But carried on with them today. After seeing the doctor went straight to the special clinic, for quitting, I now have the inhalator, but have just stuck a patch back on as well. I am determined to do it but just wanted to hear how others survived ;D ;D ;D

Sinbad, things do seem odd, and you do get a tickly cough. I smoked for 50 years and gave it up on new year 2008, but patches and worry beads saw me clear by Easter. I also found learning to play an instrument gave my hands something to do and took my mind off of the cravings. I always said it was easy giving up smoking, as I had done it hundreds of times. But I am glad I am clear of it for a while.

If you think giving up smoking is hard you wait until this time next year and you have to go on a diet.

Sinbad7 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 29, 2009, 17:38:12 »

LOL Ace, I am dreading that bit.

Thank you for your support, it is nice to know that you feel kinda odd.

I was told today don't think chocolate banana's will be much better for me.
