Smoking and Running??!

[Deleted User]

You should be happy, Bootoo. Is it getting any easier for you? Incidentally Allen Carr died of lung cancer a couple of weeks ago. Let's hope we all avoid that fate.

[Deleted User]

I am really pleased and it is getting easier.

Is that true about Allen Carr??!

Well done everyone... I did it on 1 Aug. The running improves massively and you feel heaps better so stick with it.

Tis sadly true about Mr Carr...

You are right. How sad!

It's even more of an incentive to give up!!

[Deleted User]

SOG Had cigar, it was sh*t.Anyway have babs to think about now so if you want to give up get up the duff!!!

[Deleted User]

lol, thats a real incentive. I am on my third week now and admit its harder today than any other. Just about to make a cuppa to take my mind of it.

Anyone fancy a brew?

[Deleted User]

Huge, you do realise that, if you are going to smoke everytime you become a dad, there's only one course of action we can take to prevent it.....

IWDI, hang in there. You are doing great. Two weeks plus is massive. Oh, and don't worry about the cuppa. 'Spect it's gone cold now.

[Deleted User]

ah, tea has gone cold but i still havent had a cig, i finish work in twenty mins for xmas....yahoo

just a steady 5 miles to run today!!

[Deleted User]

Wel done IWDI. Pilates for me tonight. running (or at least some kind of approximation to running)tomorrow evening.

[Deleted User]

What? Nobody checking in? I hope you're not all sneaking out for a smoke...

[Deleted User]

nope, i have been clean as a whistle!!

[Deleted User]

IWDI, keep up the good work.

I don't use 'giving up', though I've not read Carr. It just seems to me that I'm gaining rather than losing something.

[Deleted User]

Clean as a whistle here too! Week 2 over tomorrow and have managed two nights out this week with out a cig.

[Deleted User]

Brilliant, Bootoo. Hell fortnight over and major triggers overcome. Reckon you're well on the way.

I've just come back from having two new front tyres fitted. The guys were puffing away, and it's a situation where I would have smoke while waiting. I was almost tempted to ask them for a fag. I didn't, though, thank G*d.

[Deleted User]

I trust everyone is being good and NOT SMOKING.

I hit the 100 day/£400 mark yesterday. Woohoo!

[Deleted User]

still good but its getting harder!!!

[Deleted User]

Sorry been busy chaps, yep still coping but haven't run for two weeks due to baby and poorly knee.Will bear in mind the comment about new dads SOG

PSC

well done everyone who is sticking to it!

Hurrar to all...

[Deleted User]

A massive achievement under the circumstances, Huge, well done. Still plodding along here, and learning lots along the way, such as the fact that it would seem that it was not so much a physical addiction as a psychological one for me.

[Deleted User]

So how are we all coping? Have hopped on the wagon as well for this month just to make things nice and easy.

[Deleted User]

Still going strong here.

Huge, you're a glutton for punishment, giving up smoking, drinking and sleeping all at the same time.

How are Mrs. Huge and Huge Minor, by the way?

[Deleted User]

Excellent, thanks SOG, although Mrs Huge is knackered, would prefer not to give up on the sleep, it's all a bit bizarre really. Don't see a prob with the booze and fags though, did the rugby clubs test,bliddy hard work but passed.

[Deleted User]

Y'know, everyone looks at newborns and thinks of them as delicate little creatures. B*ll*cks! The survival of the baby is not in doubt. It's the parents who need the TLC. Well done on the test!

[Deleted User]

Happy New Year everyone!

Just go tback to work today so that's why I haven't been around for a while.

I am still smoke free and feeling very smug about it too!

How is everyone else doing? Did you all have a relaxing and restful xmas and new year??!

[Deleted User]

Hi Bootoo! Excellent news. Any New Year quitters at work? Still clean here. Was very relaxed until now -- about to get weekly phone call from boss, who is the original inspiration for Preparation H.

[Deleted User]

I have two friends who have also given up, partly because of new year and partly because I did (they must of felt a bit guilty - nothing to do with me!)

I am now confident i will never take up smoking again (very happy to say that!)

[Deleted User]

Hoose, that's exactly where I was at before I quit. Now I can sit through meetings without wanting to duck out for a fag. I can enjoy full length films at the cinema. I can comfortably endure long distance flights. It's a whole new world not being chained to a fag packet.
