Heartland

Well, my ciggies remained 'crushed to within an inch of their lives' free last night. Jo's obviously gone through that stage...thank chuff!

Top hole to all those nolonger smokers...have a merit mark.

For feeling so blue?

No, crazy for crying.

With a vengeance.

Mrs Goth and Myself (Andy TG) Quit smoking (Again) today (Saturday 30th April)

I really did not want too but the cost to my Health and Pocket (£5.00 + for 20) is simply TOO High.

I would suggest Nicotine Patches for the first few months and avoiding situations where you would smoke. Also consider when you first smoke upon waking - and do/eat/drink something else - A cold glass of water will help.

The "Weight Gain" is to be expected - but should you eat more healthy food and drink more water the weight should fall off again.

I gave up for most of 2004 and did feel much better and had more "Disposable Income" and I know why I started again - it was "Saturday" nigths out with friends that got me smoking again.

Also if you smoke in front of your PC/Mac consider the damage you may be causing your Motherboard / PSU - that Tar build up can cause a short!

Best of luck Laz, the first 3 days/3 weeks/3 months are the worst - after that you wont even notice that you used to smoke.

One last thing - Red Wine tastes SO much better with a clean palate!

well it's been 1 week so far, and it's going easily

the first night was the worst, but after that (with the help of 2 packs of herbal fags over the first 3 days) it's been fine - no patches or other nicotine.

Good luck with your quitting Mr TG and obviously to Mrs TG as well.

I joined in last Sunday, Laz

Giving up is one thing, but giving up the weekend of a first gig with a new band is a totally different matter

So, day 3 ended for me, with no apparent probs.
I have to admit, I'm quitting since the first HL do, so I'm not on a pack a day anymore, since nearly a year...

Hang in there, I'll try to hang onto your sleeve...

IZ.

Herbal? Sure, I guess it could be classed as a herb, rather than a weed.

Yes, it could be tricky. I'll just have to find something to do with my hands.

i've always found swimming to be good for Wondering Hand Trouble (WHT)...

especially the breast stroke

My sincerest congratulations.

I had a big struggle long ago about losing weight. I and did. Takes a lot of will power.
I congratulate you for yours.

Hope you found something to do with your hands ...and I hope the giving up smoking is still going well too
