My new addiction

[bubblewrap]

Not had a ciggy since 21st July & it is still not that easy.
I was smoking about 3x25 grammes a week (or about �15).
Needed a new freezer a couple of weeks ago my not smoking paid for it.

Now if I could get Madderbat to quit.!!!

I boil the kettle and have a drink of hot water when I try and diet- it's distracting, and a belly full of hot water is really quite comforting. Takes a while to drink too when it's too hot!
Just an idea of something else to 'distract' you!

I did that - put the kettle on every time I wanted to light up. I was on 20 cups of tea a day for a while , but it worked (running up & down the stairs to the loo all day long kept the weight off too!)

Well done BM I am seriously impressed. This is an issue I know I have to address in the near future, bit scared tbh

Don't be scared......Just keep trying....I'm not out of the woods by a long shot.....just hope I am strong enough this time but as my opening thread said......my habits have changed.

I haven't had a ciggy for just over 6 years now, I don't have that morning cough , people don't screw there nose up at the smell of second hand cig smoke on me, my clothes don't smell of cigs and the best thing...Food tastes sooooo much better, ask my waist line if you don't believe me
Keep up the good work B.M, take one day at a time and you WILL get there.

Haven't a clue what didactic means but yes you do have to "want" to stop.

I think there may be a definition around here somewhere

Looks like you have been honoured with the 'word for the day'

People can get quite didactic about giving up smoking.

People can get quite didactic about giving up smoking, but over and above all the gadgets, gimmicks and theories - you gotta want to give up in the first place (or have a very good reason).

Well done BM, proud of ya.

Hi Ollie. I have tried several methods to stop but I must admit Champix "feels" to be the best as it is not a nicotine replacement. It blocks the receptors in the brain from craving nicotine so then it is just the habit side that needs addressing. Hope that helps.
