The cost of smoking should not be measured by monetary value statistics tell us the real cost.
There were nearly 6 million smoking deaths in the year 2006, with the majority -- roughly one third -- due to heart disease and stroke. Lung cancer killed 950,000 smokers, and 1.5 million more died of other lung diseases.
I wish there were stats for people who quit smoking that actually lived longer than people that smoked and died smoking.
Kinda makes me feel like smoking again since I will die anyway because all the damage is done already.
NOT.....
Hey Dubs, according to the experts, after 15 years it will be as if we never had smoked.
Now if the 47 after your name on your sig is your age, then that will make you 62 still Young enough to enjoy a long and healthy retirement.
I'll be 63 if i make it that far.:rolleyes:

Hi PP
I used to roll my own, Golden Virginia @ £10 a pack off my shady mate.This used to last about a week.
Money was never my motivation to quit.
Reminds me of the days when I used to buy Drum from a bloke down the pub with a warning "Nuit gravement à la santé" on it. That was rough baccy. I used to joke that it was only harmful if you were French.
How stupid.

Smoked a bit of Drum in my time and your right, its rough. I started smoking baccy to save money, but after a short while, prefered it to the tailor mades.
Not 100% sure but if my maths are correct, today is day 413.
Cant quite believe it sometimes, but its possible to do it people, it truly is. Stay focused!

So already you have saved some money, and already your body has started to clear the carbon monoxide and other rubbish out. By tomorrow, you will already feel better
Very good luck, I hope you don't find it too bad - and if you do, come on here - have a whinge. It will make you feel better!

Thanks guys!!!
Hi carl
you are doing well. Keep at it this time and PM me or email if you need to.
Stay strong mate!!!!
Helen, good for you, making the start of what is a long, strange and wonderful journey. You will hear a lot from people who are further down their quit road saying to stick with it because it gets easier. The thing to remember is that they are telling the truth...it does get easier and it feels great.
Good luck with your quit and remember to read read read, especially if you feel like having a ciggie.....
i know i am right at the beginning of all this but so far i feel great!! and rather bizarrely everything seems to smell stronger??? so i took that a a sign and treated myself to a yankee candle from the lovely gift shop round the corner that was the right thing to do wasn't it? staying positive, reading lots and drinking innocent detox smoothie xx
i know i am right at the beginning of all this but so far i feel great!!
Good hold that feeling!

Sounds good to me!

Thanks John...I'm just keeping it in the day at the moment. I'm not looking too far into the future. Who knows, maybe that will help.
You stick with that way of thinking Carl. I never related the 'one day at a time' mind set to stopping smoking although it has kept me sober for 20 years. It just shows how we separate addictions from each other when they're exactly the same when it comes to kicking them. I do, however adopt it now and fully accept my addictive nature and so long as I tell myself each morning that I will not smoke today, no long term targets are set, so no major pressure is put upon me. Good luck to all!!
ok day one has been fine so far but starting to feel really cranky.....the good news is i don't want a cigarette...I just want the feeling that i want to scream,punch the back door and eat the entire contents of the fridge to go away!!!!!!! I picked up my little boy from school (i'm on holiday all week!) and told him mummy has stopped smoking...he smiled jumped up and down and kissed me i think he's proud of me!

And you'll smell sweeter to your wee boy.....stay with it pal, at least for today then wake up tomorrow and remember the joy he expressed and start another smoke free day.

I find that very interesting! I have always felt that there are 2 separate feelings here. Whenever, I've struggled its not a wish to start smoking again just that I wish I wasn't going through the symptoms of stopping!
I picked up my little boy from school (i'm on holiday all week!) and told him mummy has stopped smoking...he smiled jumped up and down and kissed me i think he's proud of me!
That paints a wonderful mental picture!
yeah he seems pretty happy! also i know that now there will be less chance that he will smoke when he is older which is brilliant...but i'm still suffering boo hoo..sob..sob.....stupid cigarettes, why did i bother smoking in the first place??????? never going back.....EVER!!!!!!!
actually apologies for wallowing in a small puddle of self pity there.......in fairness i was the stupid one, not the cigarettes!.......but then i was 12! the frightening thing is when i started, nobody tried to stop me, my parents didn't tell me off and allowed me to smoke in the house, the school weren't really that fussed as long as you weren't seen smoking out and about whilst in uniform (i.e. wear a coat)....still my fault all this but if my son did come home smelling of smoke i would hit the roof!!!!!!!!!

Somewhere I read (probably Joel's site) that day 1 is the most important day - you can't have day 100 without day 1. Day 1 is the hardest day, and the first day. The rest simply follow day 1. Day 2,3,4,5,6 and all the other days matter, and matter a lot - but couldn't happen without day 1.

I agree with Nic - the longer term quitters (6 months and over) are a great inspiration to people like me who are not far along the road and the newbies just starting out. Well done to Supervillain and WkdFairy.

Hi all,
Newbie here, looking for some support, hope you dont mind.
I quit 4 weeks, 2 days, 9 hours, 58 minutes, 3 seconds ago, have not smoked 425 cigs and saved £124.31.
I Stopped smoking using champix initially but after 4 wks on them (3 wks not smoking) I was turning into a psycho so stopped them so now feel like I only stopped smoking a few days ago so really stuggling now as gone cold turkey. It's been nice to read through this thread and realise I am not alone and that it is possible.

The best advice I can give you is to read, read and read some more - it sounds like you need to do what we call "re education" and "getting you head on straight".
Have a look at whyquit.com and woofmang.com (read the "tales") and of course this site for some great information.
You are not suffering physical withdrawels - you are already nicotine free for long enough, these are the more tricky psycological ones. They can be beaten, but you need to have the right frame of mind. I find the woofmang tales amazing for that.

Hi there First of all welcome to the forum.
You no longer have nicotine in your body so the physical addiction is passed, however that is not the big part of it. The addiction to nicotine is IMHO only 5% of it the remaining 95% is psychological. In order to sort it you need to re-educate yourself about smoking check out these sites to help with that
woofmang.com/tales/index.shtml
and keep us posted. Most of all we are all in the same boat so we know what you are going through.
You can and will do it!
All the best
Nic

Wow, you look young for your age!
A good mover though
According to your signature and your stats - we had been smoking a similar(ish) amount for a similar amount of time - and have been quit for roughly the same time.... that's some serious coincedences... with that, and the fact that we both dance when celebrating... scary!

Back again, but every little helps!
Welcome back, and all the best this time around - you know you can do it, so no more messing around... OK?
Im still here. Nearly 5 months completed. I have had a really bad week this week. My Husband decided to flip his car onto its roof and skidd down the road. Luckily he is ok but i was close to smoking that day. Then i thought well will our car still be a write off and the answer was yes so i didnt bother. :eek:
Thank you Carl
Carl, your response was unnecessary and caused upset with other users here, please refrain from attacking other members without due cause.
Hi Flippy
Sorry to hear about your OH hope hes ok you can replace a car babes. Well done for staying strong.xxxx
Welcome back Rick
Well you started this quit same day as me. Hope thats a good sign for us both. xxxx
I've no idea what you're talking about. My post was intended to encourage...clearly. This is the second time I've been warned inappropriately and in relation the this member.
For all I know you may well be this member. In fact isn't it strange that you haven't been around here (as a moderator)in ages and then, hey presto, when you feel this member is attacked (God knows why) you're here almost immediately. Could be coincidence of course or you could be around much more regularly as somebody else. Very likely I'd say given the way you were recruited initially. That you Flippy...hmmmm?
Anyway, it's getting a bit tiresome to be honest. You have no credibility at all as far as I'm concerned. Why don't you find something else to occupy you in the evenings..flower arranging or bingo maybe...something you could be good at.
Carl
I would like to remind you again that this forum is here as an aid to quitting smoking, please use the forum to do so and allow others the same privilege with out this constant baiting, flaming and innuendo's to certain members including the moderators
Many thanks
Moderator 2
Please, spare the silly speeches. You drove off Phil, banned completely innocent members for reasons you weren't even sure of yourself and been as blatantly biased as the other one. You also seem to have a pathological need to "get involved" when the situation was being dealt with by someone else. What's that all about? Makes you look like a total idiot. Then again what do you expect when you go recruiting from that end of the market.
Ban me if you like...won't do you a toss of good. Bad behaviour is bad behaviour..I'll call it when I see it.
Carl
I do not want to have to close this thread due to your behavior as it has been going for some time and has been a positive and useful thread for many, I will ask you to leave this argument and take the moderators word as final or take your grievance up with NSD
Many thanks
