trenchfoot 4,243 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I feel for you fella. I stopped 12 weeks ago, gone cold turkey, as I didn't want to swap one dependancy for another. But you are right about the appetite, I could eat a bloody horse, just for a between meal snack. Its made me an even grumpier b*****d too, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I give you a tip , when you got the craving drink a lot of water , eat oranges , get some spearmint in to you 1st , 2nd go on lots of long walks take your mind of it. when I stopped 23 years ago, the 1st year I was all over the place in my mind, I didnt crack but was restless all that time, I even starting running when the walking didn't help me. and in that year I could run 20 mile in 2 hours, and ran 1 mile in 5 mins , not bad for mid age 36 year old back then . the reason I stopped for was fed up of coughing every morning , as I knew it was all the shit in my lungs making me do it. I lot better now don't cough , lamp for 2-4 hours go for long walks all year , I carnt run no more but that's prob just me age now 62 plus I hurt me knee and its not healed.? , but I am srong+ fit for my age don't carry no weight just like a lurcher lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,600 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'd love to quit smoking, but as bird says its a frame of mind you have to be in, and I do not have it as of yet so I know if I tried now I'd fail in a way a let down to myself. I don't drink or anything, so I'm letting myself doŵn by smoking I think. It's the last bad thing I do so to speak. If I didn't smoke I'd be an all round good girl then!

If I didn't smoke I'd be an all round good girl then! your right you wont pack them up (until ) your mind right fact , why don't you say to your self , right I going to treat me self to some new gear, even if its just to walk about in with your animals, or save the money for any vet bills you get, all this money from the cigs you don't by will soon pile up. so give your self a reason to stop and this will be one (your animals) and when you stopped in a year time , if you were not that far from me I pop down and take you for a mid day lunch , that a tester for you , as most people get cold turkey around pubs , etc where food+ drink (socialising) . go for it 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
