Well done Angie! Great news. Take care. Pam XXX

[Hidden in reply to Pam1952]

Thank you Pam glad I did it xxx

10 weeks fag free, eh? Time to grab all that cash you saved, get out there and treat yourself! I always found that an occasional treat (okay most weeks actually) was a great incentive to "stay-stopped". Well done, you!!

[Hidden in reply to y_not]

Thank you xxx

[2greys]

Well done, it's a great feeling to beat the addiction. I tried a few times before without success then came diagnosis and the fright, I did cold turkey and been free of it for 11 months

well done! I don't have COPD but i know someone who does; i have managed to stop but on the vaping now. Its hard giving up though; but i know several people close to me with lung disease, plus one who died re heart disease; all due to smoking; horrific damage smoking does. I wish the government would just ban fags along with alcohol. I guess it makes them too much money though.

[Hidden in reply to susieanna]

I'm vaping when I remember to charge it lol can't really be bothered with it but well done on you choosing not to xxx

[Dragonmum in reply to susieanna]

I will never be a member of the "Ban Brigade", people are entitled to choose how they live their lives - if they smoke it's their lungs, if they drink it's their liver, and if they gamble it's their money. I wish they would not do these things but taking away free will is a very dangerous path to even think of treading. Education not legislation. And, as you say, they pay billions into the exchequer which funds us abstainers.

[susieanna in reply to Dragonmum]

I'm not actually in the 'ban brigade' really. I know that couldn't happen. I just hate the total destruction these poisons do . Especially the latter. I have a lot of experience of both . Considering the amount of money people pay in taxes on fags and booze I think support and treatments should be far better. I agree re Education. Kids should be taught at infants school.

[chrisb4]

Well done !! I gave up 14 months ago, but still using a vape, now to give this up. x

[Hidden in reply to chrisb4]

Well done Chris I am using vape 6mgs when I charge it . Iv started walking changed diet working out and lost 10 pounds lol x

[Dragonmum in reply to chrisb4]

Why would you want to give up your vape chrisb4 - it harms no-one, and I find it very calming.

[chrisb4 in reply to Dragonmum]

Don't want to give it up really, just not sure if it's doing my copd any good. Still feel loads better than when I was smoking though.

[onamission]

well done that's the most difficult thing out of the way the rest is a walk in the park 😊

[susieanna]

Thats great if you cant be bothered re vaping! Its murder when it runs out; then the thing is, you still feel like smoking! However, it has to be far, far better than smoking and taking in the toxins. Rome wasn't built in a day. Well done everyone!

[Magpuss]

👏👏👏👏👏 bravo!

[Katinka46]

Well done. I know its very hard. Ten weeks is a huge achievement, I think the experts would say that you have got it sorted. I am with Y-Not on the treat front. Cinema tickets? Pinot Grigiot? Chocolate if you must. A meal out with your bestest mate?

[Damon1864 Volunteer]

Well done,you have kicked the habit. You should be really proud of yourself. Keep us updated and take care. 😊 xxx Bernadette

[insanemoose]

Very well done Angie, I gave up 2 months ago it's not an easy thing to do. xx

[Tetrazzini]

[Hidden]

[katieoxo60]

Well done Angiecbr x

[undine]

well done xx

[hallentine47]

Very well done. I was diagnosed 12 years ago and gave up very shortly afterwards. I have enjoyed life so much more and cannot understand why i ever smoked, wanted to smoke and how difficult it was to stop. The benefits of not smoking are so great!!
