Hi, my name is Dave, and I live over the water in France. Although smoking is a national past time here, I have decided that it is time for me to give up. We live and work here, in Brittany, but in a few years plan to come back to UK and live (again) on a narrow boat. Although I have done this before, I want to do it again. So why am I giving up? Basically so that I can live long enough to do it, save some money, and have a better length of life.

My wife uses a forum for her diet and has found it very supportive, so I thought I would try this forum to help me with the weeds!

So here goes, DAY 1, a coffee and a patch! Very different for me from the usual!

We aint on here all the time - but we've always got an opinion - and we'll always help ya out if we can !

Alternative therapy

Well, have things to do, got to build the peacock enclosure for the new birds, and the breeding cages for the chickens. Should keep me occupied for a while, and take my mind off things!

Doesn't mean you can't have a drink

Just because you don't want to go to the bar as it's one of your triggers - but it doesn't mean you can't go and buy a load of beer/wine/vodka and have a bit of a night in.................

Maybe even a bottle of something nice, some nice food - and an evening in with your significant other..................

who knows, maybe it will be a better weekend than you first thought.....

:D

evening time

:eek:

Well this the time for me to smoke, a little anxious, but so far the first day has been ... ok. Not as bad as I had feared, and have been busy here doing things that should have been done ages ago, and also looking through posts of what to expect in time to come.

Thanks for all the support so far, hope sometime soon to be in the position to give it rather than just receive it!!

Dave the first couple days can be rough... keep busy boredom is the enemy

.. I find cooking to be useful because it is totally absorbing.. I am a messy and diasterous chef too so I am usually too indepth in crisis of almost burning down my house to smoke
