Goodbye Tobacco!

[Sinbad7]

Puffed like a gooden today,  the reading was spot on, so another day I have survived.

Have been like a human dynamo today, yet again. 

Hope you are all doing well today, where is Ollie?

Hope it has been a good day for you today......................is it stinky or star?? ;D ;D ;D

So glad you are getting the book, I lent mine to everyone and in the end threw it away as I knew I would never give up smoking, just goes to show you should never say never as a friend used to say to me.

[saddad]

Well done Sinbad, keep it up. My mum quit loads of times, sometimes for months on end, she went back though and it got her in the end...  :-X

[Sinbad7]

Thanks saddad.  I can understand anyone not giving it up but I feel if I start again now I will never ever try again as it is agony.

[OllieC]

Sorry for not checking in earlier... still going strong here, still v.v busy... but still not smoking. That must be at least a year I've stopped for now!

Good to see the rest of you sticking at it... And Star, keep the faith!

[star]

 ;D ;D I smell like newly mown hay on a pollen filled late August afternoon, where the Skylarks sing thier romantic shrill in the hot humid skies, and the bees buzz lazily from flower to flower, where, in the distance you can see the white rumps of Roe deer trotting towards the copse. The stags' antlers covered in velvet, still growing, until the rut of early winter.

The brook babbles blissfully by my feet, small fry dart hither and thither avoiding larger fish, unaware that I would happily throw myself in if it was deeper, faster and more menacing.

Another day has passed, with not a touch or sniff of the weed. But, oh, I long for that big fat river to wash me away.

ALLAN.............WHERE ARE YOU????.........Im waiting  :-*   

[Sinbad7]

Twinkle twinkle  little Star
How I worry from afar

Lish, I hope he's in the post
Sounds like Star could gain the most

When on a smoke free journey you can go so far
So long as you have the book by Allen Carr   ;D   ;D   ;D

Hope everyone is having a good day, still smoke free here.

[Hyacinth]

Shan't ;D

[Sinbad7]

I can see you gave that a lot of thought  ;D  ;D  ;D

[Borlotti]

Everytime that put that advert on about stopping smoking, it makes me want one.  I was OK before they showed that we should all kick the ciggie and the habit.  Going to doctor in two weeks and think patches may be the answer because if one has been smoking for 50 years, I suppose, it is very difficult to give up without help, but don't like the thought of patches.  What happens if you have to smoke and have a patch, do you die.  Will have to ask the doctor, if I live long enough to get an appointment.  Don't smoke indoors, and if am on the computer or busy forget to have one.  It is very hard, I suppose it is a lot easily not to start in the first place and it must be a drug, which we didn't know when I was young and thought it was clever, Peter Stiversent (excuse spelling) the passport to success (what a joke now).

[Hyacinth]

Hmmm Borlotti....ad on the tele, would that be? You reckon THAT'S why, secretly, I've not got one?  ;D

ads...."You're never alone with a Strand"....remember that?

actually, that brand was a flop, cos even way back then, they realized that it was negative advertising....(losers without friends smoke..)

poor loves reckoned that it was why the brand didn't take off?

Actually, the fags were foul.

Unlike Peter whatever...

Now he, and his cigarettes, were nice 8)

btw.....did you know that the Marlboro bloke died from lung cancer? He (or his family in their Claim?) reckoned that it was the number of takes he had to make to get the ad right, that did it for him.

Poor love! Got lung cancer cos he was rubbish at riding a horse? Now that is bad....

tw....Allen Carr died from lung cancer. :-\

So did my Gran. She didn't smoke, not did any of the family. Lot of pollution from the factories around tho...

[Sinbad7]

I would think if you want a cigarette Borlotti, you just whip the patch off and have one, I don't think you would die.

[shirlton]

Go on Hyacinth you know that you really want to stop. ;) I'm sure that you will stop when the time is right for you . I think all of us older ones should get compensation from the baccy companies cos they really did go all out to encourage us to smoke. I can't remember anyone telling me that it was harmful to smoke when I was young. You left school, got a job and bought yourself a packet of cigs. It was the done thing back then. Wether I would have smoked if I'd been a youngster today remains to be seen. At least the youngsters today know about the risks and can make a choice before they start to smoke

[saddad]

Yes, but like youngsters throughout the ages they always think they are invincible and five years is ages... never mind 50...  ::)

[Sinbad7]

I'm with you Shirl, I'd like some compensation, no one ever mentioned it could do you harm, I thought it was meant to relax you and I was sophisticated with the tight skirt, beehive hairdo and a G&T ;D  ;D  ;D.

I think I would have smoked if I was young today as I always have to do what I shouldn't but I don't think I would have carried on for 50+ years, I don't think even I am that daft. 

[springbok]

Joined the NHS stop smoking locally 6 weeks ago.

I was prescribed the new tablets...and happy to say I am now smoke free for just over 10 days.

However, im the worst EX SMOKER... the smell on others makes me feel bad, I notice butts in the street and think how disgusting it looks LOL.

But, I do feel better, breathe easily and my friends have been encouraged to quit because they watched me do it!!.  They were feeling left out being smokers :D

[Sinbad7]

Congratulations Springbokgirlie, that's great news, well done.

Were the tablets Zyban?
