Yes, i'm doing it again.
Although, doing a hell of a lot better than last time. I Had my last cigarette around 9pm last night, haven't had one since. Doesn't sound like much, but after a year\year and a half of not going one day without a ciggie, It's quite a feat for me, and i'm dead proud of myself. Everyone's being dead supportive and trying not to stress me out too much, although i have been getting quite stressed. I've got an amazing amount of willpower for this, every time the thought of cigarettes passes my mind i remind myself of the key points [also write them on my hands\arms at moments of weakness]
It's distracting me from schoolwork slightly, but It's much better for me in the long run. I've not really had such serious cravings yet, no doubt they'll come, but if i can manage one full day, i can use that as something to tell myself i can do, and i can be proud of acheiving.
Sorry about that waffle, typing with my hands and mouth [hand mouth action]

And other such encouraging noises.
You know it's good for you, and those are all really good points. Good luck, and post here if you want more encouraging noises.
lets not forget more money for blackpool tbh
good luck with it x
What about if your out and someone rolls a spliff...they put tobacco in say...what are you going to do, refuse the spliff because of the tobacco? or have you quit weed as well?
beat the 1st 7 days & U should B on your way!!!
Champollion :wave:
Good luck!
I did find avoiding smokey places for a few weeks helped and by the time i went back to a pub i didn't want one anyway.
Anyway all the best.
I've been using that one tweety
Cheers all,

Well done keep up the good work, you should be proud
Seriously - if you smoke, pack it in for half a week on a trial basis - you want to carry on smoking fine, but i feel much better than i ever have since i started smoking. It really is amazing how much it changes your life without you knowing. Theres no point giving up all that money for a plant when all you'll have to show for it is a filthy pair of lungs, and horrible breath.
Quit now!

Can't believe it but found out that it only takes 7seconds for those chemicals to get into the blood stream from the time of taking a drag. --- :mad: --- bad news hey!!!!
I don't crave them in the week or even weekends when I stay home, its weird.
get drunk really quickly!
