So next time, stronger, higher, mightier etc.
what exactly in the fag do you crave?
(dfevils ad here ah:O)
(very good poit though;O))
just had a thought - if I see my ex -I can blame my hand for a craving to smack her one. "well your honor........"
The approach I took was to get used to being a non-smoker without experiencing the intense withdrawal symptoms I'd experienced before by using the patch. This was very successful. Within three weeks I knew I didn't need the patch any more.
Now all I have are occasions when I think "right, I'll go and have a fag now". These are typically at the end of a task or when getting ready for a difficult situation. They are slightly annoying, but I just remind myself that I don't do that any more. 30 seconds and the thought passes.
Incidentally, the lead-up to this quit is relevant. I had to spend some time at one of our sites in California in the summer. Knowing that I would have little or no opportunity to smoke during the day I equipped myself with patches. I used them during the day then took it off and smoked during the evening. I found that it really did very much diminish my desire to smoke, to the extent that I was smoking very little. This then encouraged me to go for the quit in September.
you have done brill SOG - and you can have my support(autographed if you like):O)
by " fairies" do you mean Colin and Justin -the designers.? Well if you struggle again I'll ask them to pop 'round and scare the nicotine monster.
Seems like Allen Carr gets your back up.
I don't mind in the slightest that his method didn't work for me. What I do find objectionable are his assertion that other methods are wrong/bad and his refusal to allow his method to be fairly tested in scientific trials, i.e. with follow-up at appropriate intervals etc.
- bl**dy frote not so bad now:O)
My God -my sexlife is improving already -dunno bout you but I can "feel it" more and everyfing:O)))
when i think about it its about how awful life as a smoker was. I need to keep hold of those memories.
I think I reachd rock bottom in my nicotine addiction -no way can I smoke again.

highlights part of what I really object to about smoking.
could certainly put many peops off.

The amount of peops who appear to be pussy footing around me saying "are you OK" is getting on my tits. I have stopped poisoning myself - guess what? - I don't feel too bad about it neither. Usually people wiould be concerned about your wellbeing when you ARE poisoning yourself would they not?
dunno -I just find it funny.
oh yes you lot -very very very well done for not poisoning yourself - I hope are OK!
