Upon hitting the 40/day mark, i decided that enough was enough. Just plain trying to quit outright wasn't working so I devised something else, which is working well.

Using the stopwatch on my phone, with an alarm, I am allowing myself to 1 ciggie every 1hr 25 mins and so far I am sticking to it well. The plan is that in a couple of days I will extend that time too 1hr 45mins, a couple of days after that I will extend the time to 2hrs and so on.

I have already drastically cut down on the number of ciggies i am smoking, and the overall objective is that I will quit altogether.

Wish me luck!!!!!!

All the best pal.  Having never been a ciggie smoker I cannot really empathise with the situation, but I know a few people who have been successful, no reason why you can't be.

I'm sure PM's behind you too, but with alterior motives. :twisted:  :wink:

Good luck!

Best way is to trick your body into not liking the ciggy even though it needs it. Eventually you will get so sick of them you won't bother. A 40 a day habit may be hard to cure though :? especially if you have been doing it for a while

40 a day :shock:
best of luck.

i stopped dead from 20 a day. Wasn't easy. First 3 months were shit but so gad i gave up now. That was 6 years ago

:shock:  40 a day!!

I smoke 2 a day  :oops:

i would use lubrication there birdy!!!! :soapy tit wank:

don't be so rude :x   :wink:

Wouldn't it be worth giving up just 2 a day? Or do you pike them from someone else?

What's the point in that?

What's the point in that signature also.

Take it off Birdy.

Good luck fella,Im just trying to motivate myself to give up again.

Your welcome to her boys, shes a skanky old ho anyway :wink:

Might be able to help you chaps with this. Up until the end of last year I had been a 20-40 per day man on and off for 20 years. I'd tried absolutely everything to stop; willpower, patches, gum, inhalors, polos, reducing my consumption, smoking 10 at a time to make myself ill and detest them, the lot ! I then found a really simple and easy way.

Its a book called Easyway by Allen Carr. Absolutely brilliant !

Actually I know 2 people that have given up with that book,I thought it was probably a load of bollocks though.

Seriously guys, my pretend you don't like it technique works a treat

The Easyway book tells you why your way won't work. I was very sceptical (like Yeovil Red), but it bloody works wonders ! Try it. What you got to lose ?

NMH

It worked for me though. But I did just make it up so it will probably only work for me anyway ;)

I managed just to go cold turkey Mon - Fri and carry on at the weekend.  Although a lot of people that have done the same say they quickly have a re-lapse.

I gave up for three years, then on holiday in Turkey last year ran out of nicotine gum - started again.

Still smoking now, and still on the gum  :?

I blame it on being a pisces - addictive personalities apparently.

Im Pisces as well , maybe theres some truth in it :o

Not just nicotine though Yeovil, eh  :wink:

Well Ive always been ok with the harder stuff,its rarely moved out of weekends.Only booze and fags for me these days though.

I'm a pisces and the only thing I'm addicted to is World of Warcraft.

You can keep her sunshine, I would rather eat broccoli

You cheeky buggers, I only just read this!!  I am a serious career girl now you know  :wink:

Sonicyouth - you can take me for a drink  :wink:
Piemonte  - you dumped me remember  :twisted:
Dave  - dukey comes first until you do :wink:
Dan - stick your brocolli up your japs eye  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Tom - how you doin?  :wink:   :wink:

You seem to have some similarities with Julian Alsop, although he was more of a fruit and arse man. But at least you like to experiment
 :soapy tit wank:

Dukey is as good as gone... muhuhahahahaha!

:cry:  evil tormenting bastards
