    So god knows how many time i've quit smoking.


    But this is the longest...(5 days)

    So far...

    I've spent over £60 in starbucks
    Bought and used 5 jar's of coffee
    Had 1 hour of sleep
    had a fight
    floored a gay guy
    poured vodka over him
    shattered my knuckles and ripped the skin off them
    drank an unfathomably amount of alcohol
    got threatened to be shot out of my house
    lost my ipod touch
    learnt several swears in finnish
    had 20 showers
    threw up (lack of food apparently :confused:)
    and not not eaten ^

    I think i'm doing well. :dry:

    :lol:

    The whole point of giving up smoking is to better your health. On the whole, I think you were better off smoking.

    Seriously...
    I don't know what I'd prefer...

    Bill smoking or Bill as an injured mess because he's trying to quit...

    Anyways, good luck!

    well, good luck! I hope quitting doesn't worsen your health more than actually smoking, lol.

    Bill's my boyfriend who I'm attempting to influence to quit
    I may pull a 'It's me or smoking!' stunt
    Even though I'd never leave him for something like that.
    I was just comparing his potential quitting smoking to what you're going through right now.

    I know who you are...
    We're facebook friends, afterall

    You don't have to answer my questions if you think the answers would be too personal, but- what have you tried in the past when you've attempted to quit? Did you ever try using a nicotine patch or gum (such as NicoDerm or Nicorette, or whatever the UK equivalent is)? If not, you might want to talk to your health care provider about such an option (rather than just going "cold turkey"). I'm sure KaraBulet would have more definitive information and experience with smoking cessation aids, so I'll defer to him any definitive advice. Keep in mind that smoking cessation aids are still medications with risks and side effects- even though they're sold in over-the-counter form- so PLEASE talk to a licensed health care provider before self-medicating.

    Best of Luck,

    The Edogs

    Only ever been cold turkey, my dad has never known before now.

    I'm actually booking an appointment with my nurse for free nicotine buisness.

    I'll be covered head to toe and won't be able to talk with the amount of gum. :')

    Good luck Michael! If you do quit,let me know how you did it.
    I need to quit,too and can't use the patch.
    I'd rather not have to punch things,I already have too many injuries!

    AGREED. Smoking isn't that bad if you don't go crazy with it. I think it would be wise to cut back, not stop completely.
