Lishy Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Tomorrow will be the 4 week mark of me not smoking! I smoked for 22 years and have not had one in 4 weeks!!!!!!!!!!! I never thought I would quit, I enjoyed it too much. Now I truly feel like a non smoker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of myself :p:bunny:
LucreziaBorgia Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Keep it up! I'm proud of you too. I'm on my eighth day myself. I smoked on and off for 20 years. I plan to keep it 'off' for good.
Author Lishy Posted August 18, 2007 Author Posted August 18, 2007 Well I am using these new tablets called Verencaline Champix They are wonderful LB If you struggle then give them a go! Well done you!
Lizzie60 Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Good for you! I quit Aug. 31, 1993 and that was a life changing experience for me... in a good way. I know I will NEVER smoke again... This is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I quit cold turkey, and the next day, after one craving in the morning, I felt like I never smoked in my life that same afternoon... it was very easy (weird)...
SoHotZanzibar Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I think that is great! Keep it up! I never smoke, drink, gamble, or do drugs, but we all have our vices and I am glad you are beating yours!
Lizzie60 Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I think that is great! Keep it up! I never smoke, drink, gamble, or do drugs, but we all have our vices and I am glad you are beating yours! Wow what is your vice? I did smoke, got drunk on 3 occasions, gamble twice, tried a few drugs in my teens... now my only vice is SEX... LOL
SoHotZanzibar Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Wow what is your vice? I did smoke, got drunk on 3 occasions, gamble twice, tried a few drugs in my teens... now my only vice is SEX... LOL Oh, I am really boring. If my vice is mentioned, I'll reveal it, but we should keep this on topic to smoking! I did try smoking once. Never got the appeal.
Author Lishy Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 now my only vice is SEX... LOL Honey that is NOT a vice!!!!!!!!!
Author Lishy Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 Oh, I am really boring. If my vice is mentioned, I'll reveal it, but we should keep this on topic to smoking! I did try smoking once. Never got the appeal. Oh now I must insist you go off topic and share ya vice with us! I absolutely INSIST!!!!! lol
whichwayisup Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Congrats Lishy! I AM proud of you and wish I had it in me to atleast TRY to quit. I'm such a pussy...lol Verencaline Champix Did you have ANY side effects on this?
directx Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Congratulations Lishy! It must be great not to have taken a fresh, new cigerette out of its box and smell that refreshing odor of tobacco, and how it feels so good in your mouth and the initial burning of the tip, the smoke wafting in the air up your nostrils and then inhaling it deep in your lungs and breathing out... Thank goodness you don't miss that!
Lostgurl Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Good going Lishy! I'm struggling to cut down and quit myself. It is SO tuff.
allina Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Congrats to all you quitters My dad smoked heavily for many years, quit 12 years ago or so and now runs marathons. Healthiest substitution ever. I still smoke, I've been smoking a pack a month or every other month for some time now. I tell myself that since I often go 2+ weeks w/o a ciggy and because I smoke so little it's okay. I'm probably wrong.
Author Lishy Posted August 22, 2007 Author Posted August 22, 2007 I hae had one minute of feeling sick on one occasion but that is the only side affect. Direct, nice try buster but you couldnt tempt me as I just dont want one! I dont miss it and I have no inclination to stick one in my mouth (a ciggie that is!) These tablets are amazing!
loveinlife Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Keep it up! I quit for 6 weeks so far and i guess quiting means forever, im on that route at the moment. take care!
confused2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 I need some experienced opinions. I'm on approx 6 weeks as a non-smoker and I was hoping someone could tell me when this gets easier. Anyone?

I gave up smoking a few years ago, and every now and then I decide i would like one when I have had a few too many glasses of wine. tonight is one of those nights. Had only a couple of puffs on a cigarette and now I feel :sick::sick::sick: yuck.
Author Lishy Posted August 26, 2007 Author Posted August 26, 2007 Today marks week 5 and not one single ciggie has passed my lips! I am weaning myself off of the tbalets now so lets see how it goes! I just feel like a non smoker My ex got stabbed in the neck Friday and my sis has been in hospital all night as she was vomiting pure blood and I still didnt fancy a ciggie!
sb129 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 sheesh Lishy where do you live? Hope your sister and ex are OK.
sb129 Posted August 26, 2007 Posted August 26, 2007 Snap, me too. Where did your ex get stabbed in the neck? I swear nowhere is safe in this town......
Curmudgeon Posted August 27, 2007 Posted August 27, 2007 Well I am using these new tablets called Verencaline Champix [?QUOTE] ...glad to hear it. We just started them yesterday and are resolved to "win!"
Author Lishy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Posted August 27, 2007 Oh honey you will love them! Take them for 2 weeks before you quit ok? After about 4/5 days of taking them you will not enjoy a ciggie and the smell will make you feel sick but keep smoking until your quit day. Please keep me posted on how you do!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLease please please!
Author Lishy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Posted August 27, 2007 Snap, me too. Where did your ex get stabbed in the neck? I swear nowhere is safe in this town...... Where do you live sb?
