(Live!!) Quitting in ACTION.
If you check my earliest post (shouldn't be too hard, there's only 3 including this one.) you can read about the shape I was in just a short while back when I first quit smoking. I'd quit during a lung infection which is aparently doubley hard on the lungs and the darned things seized up on me. Chest

No fibrosis whoohoo! Never thought I would be so glad to be told I had emphysema not fibrosis. It feels like I have been given my life back
Those of you who know me will know that I have been waiting to have my appointment at the Royal Brompton. Well that was today and I never thought I would be grateful for a diagnosis of emphysema. I have been living with the spectre of fibrosis and a prognosis of 2-5 years survival. The consultant

Hello people, Here's my wee conundrum:
This is the tenth morning of Ecigs. Not a single shred of tobacco had passed my lips in that time. I only really had one evening when I mentally craved an analogue, which I put down to being stressed and in a grumpy mood anyway. .. (my darling teenager, you know what THEY'RE like). However, I'm feeling

dealing with stress
I was just curious to know what new methods any of you have developed to relieve stress? Like me, I'm sure all of you smoked to relieve stress. I actually feel less stressed since quitting, but I do get stressed very easily and really don't want to get so stressed to the point that I feel like I need

Day three and I think I'm doing ok
I had to go into hospital for surgery on Wednesday so I decided to use it as an opportunity to quit smoking, I've tried to quit before many times and failed, normally I don't get past the first week. I've been a smoker for 22 years and I hate it. I don't want to throw any more money at it and I want

Hey peeps how is everyone? I do hope your all still smoke free! :-) I thought you would like to know I'm six months smoke free today! Yay for me. I still would like a ciggy to be honest although I know how much damage this will cause me. I'm also still coughing up tar, not as much as I have been

CRAVINGS
A while ago I put the following post on. It may help some of you who have just started to quit. :_ Dealing with Cravings Even though you’ve officially quit smoking, the urge to smoke may come and go. Many times, cravings can result from being hungry, angry, lonely, tired, or bored. Think back to

Stopped the Patches now!! Whoop WHoop!!
I'm on day 58 today of Not smoking, and I have been a week without the NRT patches. I didn't cut them down from the high dose to the low dose, I just forgot to put one on one day, and the next day I thought to myself, that I didn't need them anymore, so hence NO MORE patches!! I still chew the 4mg gum

A few facts on quitting etc.
How would you feel if I told you that with every cigarette comes a dose of insecticide, car exhaust, gas chamber poison, ant poison, floor cleaner, mothballs, and nuclear weapons? Probably not great. The following have been found to help make-up cigarettes: Insecticide – nicotine Car exhaust – carbon

Trying to quit number 500 (okay, not literally but feels like it)
So I know cold turkey won't work, always fails quickly. The nicotine gum just tastes horrible. I had a decent 3 week attempt with patches, but made the mistake to quit early and ended up back on the cigarettes. When I tried the patches again, found that my reaction to them was severe (my arm literally

Saw this interesting article in the paper this week, which I thought might interest people.
"Smokers who believe that their habit relieves stress and depression are mistaken, according to research. A study found that the effect of quitting smoking was the same, if not better, in tackling mental health problems such as depression and anxiety as taking antidepressants. The team of researchers

My craving monster is throwing a major tantrum.....
I see the craving as a naughty child and right now it's throwing a paddy from hell... Throwing itself on the floor with legs and arms flailing, and screaming until I give in :( .... Luckily I keep putting it on the naughty step, but I feel it brewing in my tummy for some reason! I am surprised as I
