:D

Nice one. Unfortunately I've gone the other way and started again  :(

I've said it before and I'll say it again : Allen Carr - Easyway.

Get the book, its the only way as far as I'm concerned !

NMH 'over 7 months, but not really counting'

Good luck mate.  

Best not play poker for a while, I imagine you puffing away willing us to make a mistake, and you smoking more and more as your stack gets shorter. :wink:

why the changes, yeovil?

Best of luck yeovil, I know how hard it is.

Are you using patches or gum or owt?

Try to control the lack of nicotine rage :box:  :D

i gave up smoking 6 years ago. Developed Asthema so had to really.
Was fucking hard i will say that but for me the only way to beat it is to stop completely. Don't cut down etc as it never works.

good luck in giving up

GO YEOVIL :soapy tit wank:

I don't understand why it's so hard, just pretend it's not there. Like J1mmy.

I gave up donkeys years ago, not easy but I just stopped straightaway rather than cutting down. I was getting asthma as well so had to, and my asthma got a lot better after that, think that tells me something. :shock:

Go Yeovil....

i still have mine.
fucking bastard thing it is.

stopped me joining the police and everything cos they said i need to be off my inhaler for more than 12 months.
fucking hell i'm fitter than most i play football with :roll:

I had asthma bad for a while, using inhalers all the time etc. I used to go to the asthma clinic and some of the people who used to come along to that, used to frighten the crap out of me cause they couldn't breathe at all well. As I said, the smoking (giving up) helped, but I decided to stop relying on the inhalers and I don't use them often now. I could just be lucky and it's got better, but I hate having to rely on them all the time.

Shame about the police. Could you try not using the inhalers for a while or is that not possible?

smokings cool, it gets you friends and more breaks at work


maybe i should i start   :o

only one i use is a purple preventer. stops me using the reliever(blue).

it works a treat but if i don't take it then i think i'm gonna need my blue one cos i have got used to it for so long.

not tried going without it just incase. bit worrying.
maybe should give it a try cos you never know

Worth a go, it's always there if you need it.

I've got brown and blue. Used to use the preventer all the time, but I stopped that and use the blue one if it gets bad.

PS, I'm not a doctor! If you try it and it doesn't work please don't blame me!

corse not dude.
(mental note!! if i die it's Bedford Red, fault)

the doctor at the asthema clinic said i shouldn't need my blue one if i'm taking the purple one. thats what the preventor is designed for.
not used my blue one in months since taking the purple one.

(this sounds like i'm popping pills)

See what the doctor says, mine seemed to want me to keep using them, which is fair enough I suppose but like everything else you tend to rely on them and get used to them which is why i cut down/stopped using them. plus it gets bloody expensive over time. :soapy tit wank:

popping pills????? :D

now my doctor has put me down for 3 inhalers in one prescription cos i said it was too expensive.

i might give it a go and stop using them for a while.
just to see how i get on.
would love to think didn't need them anymore

It's good, apart from the money side (wish my doctor had put them on the same prescription), not having asthma attacks is also good, not had one this year.

Nooooooooooooooooooo !

Are you lot just f*ckin thick ? I keep telling you to get the book Easyway by Allen Carr. Get it from the F*ckin library and it will be free ! All you need is to read the book and I guarantee that you will stop - for good ! Inhalers, patches, gum etc are all the WRONG things to use ! They just make it harder to stop and reduce your overall chance of success ! Believe me, I was a 20-25 a day man for 20+ years. I was good at 'giving up', cos I did it lots of times ! Each time I started back up. This time I have stopped for good !

NMH

They are talking about Astma.

Send me your copy of the book you dont need it anymore.

Is that even legal?  :o

As for the jogging, you're probably better off joining a gym and hitting the treadmill, as you can guage your progress which is pretty satisfying, and it's less stressful on your legs...

Good luck!  Everyone has a different story about how they gave up, my mum started giving my dad pocket money to give up, my nextdoor neighbour had a glass of water every time she felt she needed a fag....

^ Asher's face after dropping a tab

just fuckin stop you lightweights, jesus wept where is your bloody will power?

Already passed it on to someone else I'm afraid.

NMH

I hate gyms.I find them boring and generally full of idiots. Though I understand what you mean about the leg stress thing.I can run for ages on a treadmill but not very long outside.

Ive ordered the book,got nothing to lose I suppose its the same price as a packet of fags.

Errrrrm should I be smoking when I read it?

Yes, that is the key to success Yeovil 8)  :doobie:

That's a poor excuse Yeovil!  Gyms in my experience seem to be full of middle-aged women who've filled out a bit since their youth, and tend to have a little stroll on the treadmill for 5 minutes (why not just walk round the block ffs?!).  Looking at them gives you all the inspiration you need!

If it's full of idiots, it's not like you have to talk to them!

My dad gave up because he's had a nasty lung infection for the last 3 months. Anyone want some cheap Benson's?

Well done my young padawan !  8)
