barneybrendan Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Ok so i no it hasnt been long but no fag for 4 days is good for me.I thought i would of been gasping for one especially as the girlfriend smokes.I havnt coughed up any crap yet or felt like shit. I have been getting pains in my chest for a while so went doctors,he used a scare tactic on me by saying i might have a heart condition and to give up smoking immediatelly which i thought bugger to that and havnt smoked since.I also need to loose weight ,one step at a time me thinks. Now have to wait to go to the heart unit for tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 More money to spend on the car!!!!!! And you will be surprised at the taste of food, you may even find you don't like certain foods anymore!!! I would not pay too much attention to the weight comments, you are a big guy, I just got told that technically im obese!!!! That was by the hospital when I had my op and im lighter than when im in the gym all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Keep going Brendan. I have never smoked or understodd anyone who does but it really is a no brainer.... More money, better health, don't smell like an ashtray etc..win,win... I would be careful that your habit doesn't become food instead and pile weight on. Good luck. H.

Attero Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Quitting is a different experience for everyone. Depends the initial craving levels. I am one of the lucky ones that never gets addicted to anything. Hope it goes well for you mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I quit in November 2009 so have gone almost a year now. I found it quite easy as I had a throat infection so couldn't smoke for a week. When I was better I lit a fag and it made me feel sick so I just decided to quit. Good luck, you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Good luck with quiting and good luck down the cardiac unit. Im over 15 months now and not even slightly tempted to have a ciggy, after a short while have a smell of the breath of others that go out the pub for a fag, i was shocked how bad their breath stinks and put me off starting again more than anything else. All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneybrendan Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 she is in her way as she will only smoke in the dinnig room and wont smoke in the van or while we are out together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 she is in her way as she will only smoke in the dinnig room and wont smoke in the van or while we are out together. Kick her into the garden. If you do give up you will hate the smell of your house/van etc...Oh and you will notice the smell on the other half too.

Josh Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 My girlfriend quit smoking like a year before I did so I think that helped All (and I mean all) my friends smoke and I was having a drag every now and then from them at the pub but it never made me want to start back up. It would have been easier to forget about fags if they hadn't all smoked though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 well done mate! I dispise smoking it stinks like utter crap!! If theres one thing i could ban its that!

Josh Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I strangley like the smell of other people smoking now. When I walk past someone who's smoking and get a whiff of it it reminds me of when I was young and people were smoking in queues at Alton Towers. No idea why but it reminds me of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
