Hello all, not sure if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find it on from my phone so I thought I would ask!
How did you all stop smoking? I originally stopped cold turkey then failed and started again, ecigs then failed and started again, patches, failed and started again, champix tablets, failed and started again.
As you can see there is a pattern where I keep failing. I think it's took me a while to realise but I think I now have it, I just don't think I was ready to give up, I enjoyed it, especially when having a drink!
I've now just been on the champix tablets again for the past three weeks and haven't had a cig for the past 2 weeks, I was a 20+ a day guy could be 40 if I had a night out (pretty bad for a 27 year old eh?)
Anyways I went out for my first "drinking session" the other night and it was irritating me that something was missing, I resisted temptation on having one but knew I needed to do something to fill in the gap. So I got some nicotine free ecigs (just cheap ones) and that helped me! I think it's the blowing smoke, feeling of having one that I missed.
How did you all quit and how many attempts did it take you?
I've tried a total of 9 times! Hopefully this will be the last!
Ps I don't miss:
The smell of smoke
Having to leave friends inside while I go smoke
The taste
Feeling like an outcast!
