Smoking withdrawal

[muppet]

No offence like,

but to the smug b**tards who're on here telling us that's it's not that hard and that once you really want to do it, it's easy, would ye feck off.

All that tells me, now (in this state) is that it's OK to have one now and sure I'll give them up someday, when I really want to.

It is only easy in hindsight I suppose. I wouldn't look past the next day at the start. But after 4 or 5 days you should be almost over the chemical addiction. The habit is the hard thing to kick.

Do what Mary Harney did, everytime she wanted a fag she just had a cheeseburger. (* note: this may not be even remotely true)

Day 6 - I'm starting to "feel better"

Have friends around for dinner on Sunday evening, bank holiday weekend, there will be much alcohol consumed, this will be the big test.

Amallon - just start again.

Sound advice although he already has.

That comment would work except the theme of the thread is giving it up not taking it up

I thought the theme of the thread was stopping, not 'starting again'.

It is

well on the way to the end of the second week on the champix, and been off the smokes for two days. In a heap from them. Side effects like mood swings and bouts of dizzyness kicked in when i went on to the larger dose, also a sever lack of energy and along with some minor stomach discomfort for about two and half hours after i take each pill. But have to stick with it

How are you getting on Stephenite?

[stephenite]

I cracked on the bank holiday Sunday night and had 3 with a few beers, but only 3 in a fortnight is a huge thing for me, and the fact that I haven't had one since is a big leap also.

Anyone here still on CHIMPEX, I'm on day eight of them, some small side effects notheing major. Started to read about side affects last night and starting to panic. Have not smoked in seven days.. No cravings nothing......  Just worried about some of the things I have read about coming off these tablets in twelve weeks time etc...

Well - are you lads still off them?

How are you getting on with the salt?

No progress at all. Still using it by the fistful. I'll get around to doing something about it in time.
