    No More Butts...The Beginning..

    my strongest virtual resolve goes out to you all!!

    I gave up in June 2005 after about 25+ years of regular and sometimes heavy smoking (and I started at age 12, but only became regular when i could afford it. Before that i had to rely on pinching them from my parent's dairy!). Tried every day to give up for so long and even managed a year without them in 1988 and running long distance races! But I started again when i was travelling in West Africa and when bars would sell single cigarettes. And I kept thinking "its only one" (yep: the familiar story!!) By the time I got back to the UK, a whole packet felt like the height of luxury! But I ended up feeling really felt defeated by it. I eventually managed to ditch them and haven't looked back since.

    Its a long road, but so worth it! Your body will seriously thank you.
    Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

      Can I join one2many?
      I smoked my last cig at 0800 this morning, and its now 8pm at night! i've had a few sticks of nicorette gum to curb my cravings.. like you, i feel that depressed pang when i know i cant smoke - but also, like you said, it feels great knowing i am not drawing any poisonous toxins into my lungs!
      have you quit cold turkey or are you using patches or gum?

          Sounds good one2many..
          I am only chewing the low dose gum - 2mg.. i find it helps so much.. but so well done on going cold turkey!
          I will come on here if i feel like giving in.. which i may well might as i have a stressful week ahead of me.. but i always think its better to cave and have a cig than drink AL - the better of the 2 evils, though ultimately i really want to give up cigs too,

            Katie, you're turning into the Challenge Queen :H
            Good on you guys. I'll be looking in. You won't be sorry.
            (Also I remember I caught the mother of all colds when I first gave up. I've heard it from other people too. But persevere.)
            If your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

              Dunno what it is but everything is much clearer today. No cravings since the one this morning, not even a 1.

                  :H aren't I just?! maybe i should change my username to that... I certainly have to keep to these challenges or I will be too ashamed to post again!

                    Hi Katie, lovely to see you here too, we must stop challenging like this

                    Yes 123, I know, but remember this moment and know it will come just after the craving. I feel a 9 coming along, it is currently a 4 and I am out of wine gums and its raining now so can't go to the shop.

                    Must get wine gums! must get wine gums!

                      i would like to join you!!!

                      I have to be honest. I am having wine and cigarettes now, but I soooooooo want to quit both. I see them going hand in hand. Ciggy in one hand and wine glass in the other. I would think myself the 'perfect' person (and yes I would!!!!) if I could conquer my addictions..... So I am going to smoke and drink this wine today, not many more to go now and then I seriously want to 'give it a go'. I cannot tell anyone, as I live in the middle of nowhere, just sufficient access to booze shops!!!! I will then stop and maybe will have to come on here to read. I know I can do it. I liked the 20 year person free, that is so inspirational to me. It is mind set.... so I shall do it. Count me in....

                            Think
                            If you think you are beaten, you are;
                            If you think you dare not, you don't;
                            If you'd like to win but you think you can't,
                            You can almost be certain you won't.
                            If you think that you'll lose, you are lost,
                            For out in the world you will find
                            Success begins with a person's will;
                            It's all in the state of the mind.
                            If you think you're outclassed you are;
                            You've got to think high to rise.
                            You've just got to be sure of yourself
                            Before you can win the prize.
                            Life's battles don't always go
                            To a stronger or faster man;
                            But sooner or later the person who wins
                            Is the person that THINKS they can.
