Quitting smoking....Day 6

[GrahamB]

Much respect Helen. Best thing I ever did (other than leave my ex) was quit smoking when I was 30. I would have a mint instead of a fag which really helped. Had to stay out the pub for a few months until I was sure I got it covered & I ate more too but as food is generally considered better for you than nicotine I didn't mind. This might sound odd but if I got a craving I would just take a huge deep breath & fill my lungs with lovely fresh air instead. It helped I promise you.
 You MUST keep it up now you've come this far. Imagine how disappointed you would feel if you had a cigarette now!?!?!?

Well done Helen. I think you've done the hard bit. Month 17 for me.

Day 19   
 
I'm so pleased that I've got this far, not going to stop now 
 
Congrats on month 17 Tori - that's great news     
 
Thanks again to everyone for your support. I'm feeling more confident every day

I was trying to think how long I have been off them...think its about 18 years...so acknowledging tax has gone up and fags are about £5 a packet now...if you said in real terms about £3.00 a pack over that 18 years at a pack a day and not bothering with leap years etc.. 18 x 365 x 3 = £19,710.00...still need a reason to hang on in there? £19,750 buys this ->

I gave up when my eldest was born - he's ten at the end of the month - thats about £30K worth of Benson and Hedges
For me the secret was having an alternative to a cigarette  for when my will power weakened (I carried the same pack of nicotene tabs in my pocket for about 5 years - they are vile things I couldn't develop a habit but I had an option when most tempted).
Keep it up - its worth it
