ok Health warning to all those with a "try to give up smoking " new years resolution......not having a fag causes stress, bordom, irritability, restlessness......aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii want a faggggggggg.

secondly i need to but a car for my dad before he comes back to the uk on the 11th...

thirdly mum is due over near the end of the month and she drives me up the wall ..

fourthly i am waiting to start my drug treatment in the next week or so that will last for 6 months with loads a sexy side effects such as menopause etc (nice) and i just found out that i have to come off the contraceptive pill while on those drugs....and i need a fag....im not quite sure if this is really the best time for giving up smoking...arg.. ok rant over
 
ahhh! thats sounds rough hun! well i wish you all the best an hope you survive the month!
 
That sucks...well, like BuffyUKer said, hope you survive the month...and the month after that...and after that...and after that and yeah lol
 
aw cheers peeps i have to say im struggling with the wanting a fag at the moment...so close to lighting up its unreal..perhaps i am expecting too much at once from myself! Mind you is it ever the right time i doubt it..
 
Good luck with the no smoking Foi 🙂

My mum gave up and she is going well.

As for me I smoke when i'm stressed, which is most of the time with being in my final year of uni, but am trying to cut back so if you need to chat just pm me 😀
 
cheers peoples 🙂 still not had a fag but hmmm i really want one!!

sitting here looking at my new drugs thinking..why me? why do i have to come off the pill after 16 years on it so i can take some drugs to sort me out and you know my luck...relying on condoms aint my thing....oh well i supose i have no choice in the matter...just ewe gross....and OMG i'm guna be 31 soon....and yey still a mess lol ok so no fags also equates serious dampner of mood...nice...

hmm do you think 1 fag tonight and then no more will work lol i know as soon as i have 1 fag i will want more....arrg harsh where is my gum...???
 
The way I see it, is that you can't just cut out anything cold turkey, its not good for your system to suddenly not get something you are used to. Its best to wean off. Thats what the doctor suggested to my mum.
 
Howdy there, Foi!

Faith's right....slowly....slowly.....and surely. It's the best way.

I got off drugs years ago....and I'm all the better for it. (opinions to the contrary notwithstanding.....😛 )

My point is, if I can get off something like drugs..you CERTAINLY can get off cigarettes. It's not easy at ALL, but it's achievable!

Best of luck to you, Foi! :: tu ::

On a side note...well....I'm sorry but I just gotta say this.....it REALLY cracks me up to hear you English calling your cigarettes "fags". I'm sorry.....just had to mention that......😛
 
lol its something that always reminds me of Clerks the animated cartoon, as they comment on it too 😀

So yes we're in agreeance, its not good for your body to cut right out Foi, so don't feel guilty if you have one!
 
hmm well my freinds nan is currently dieing of cancer due to smoking... i hope that gives you an answer foi. in the long run you'll be better off without them.
 
It's better to quit sooner than later, Foi. For instance, my uncle's father only quit when his doctor told him that was gonna die in two years if he didn't, but he still has a hole in his gut and doesn't have that long to live if he doesn't have surgery soon to fix whatever is destroying him internally... To make a long story less long, it's important to quit or you might die later in life. Good luck with that. 🙂
 
well...i had one drag of a fag and funny it tasted really bad so i put it out..and did not light up again....so today is my 3rd day🙂
 
Yeah, the coolest things I noticed while quitting:

I had way more energy
Smokes actually tasted bad (!)
I could smell things again. Walking through even a football field was unbelievable!
Running became an acceptable mode of transport again.

I had been smoking for so long I forgot all about that stuff.
 
For you

To Foi,
You can do whatever you want as long as you try.
If you try your hardest there is nothing more that you can ask for.
This is for you.

Just start somewhere. Resolve to do something.
You might even write out what you want to
accomplish. Then explore what you need to do to
reach you goal, and start doing it, step by step.
It's the same as if you were planning a trip: you
get a map, make your preparations, and then start
traveling the right road.

Don't get "bound up" in any problems that stand
in your way. Do something every day to resolve
them. Trust your instincts. Do one thing at a time.


Remember... if you sow seeds of fear, doubt, panic,
and procrastination, it will most likely work against
you. If you keep doing the same things you're
doing now, you will keep ending up in similar
places to where you are now.


Once you start making progress towards your goal,
you will be magically propelled towards eventual
reward. Just keep listening and taking direction
from inside you. Be patient; your dreams will not
come true overnight. But start now, and go with
love and courage and confidence. Don't be afraid.
You can do anything you believe you can. And
don't forget to keep an open mind and heart to
check yourself along the way.

You can do it! Go for it, and good luck.
Love and best wishes
Riz
 
Good luck with everything, it's tough, but you can get through it.
A month or so ago I was so stressed out with life that I lost my appatite (which caused me to lose 7 lbs), I couldnt sleep at night, yet I was falling asleep in class during the day, my heart beat got up to 94 bmp when it should be like 70, and I was constantly irratable and had a never ending headache. Luckly, the great Christmas break came about and thankfully I'm fine now.
