packed the tabs in 7 weeks ago, went cold turkey, and was as bad as a dog, spewing up, reet bad heed, felt like i"d been brayed arl ower......... that lasted for 3 weeks, and was , honestly, feckin horrid. now , its like i never smoked before, dont even think about them, dont have a inkling to have one, and a pocket full of money to boot (well, and extra 200 bar a month) i havnt even thought about it, but had my annual medical yesterday (A1 by the way...well A- one and a half) and the medic was just gobsmacked that i did it cold turkey after 25 years of smoking. no one more gobsmacked than me i tell thee. its worth doing just for the dosh, because im not buying other shite at the shops while im in for me "bines, and saving a tenner as day easy.
 
Well done marra

I remember you posting when you were going through the withdrawal stage, all worth it in the end eh?
 
Congrats you have been to hell and returned a better person

well done mate.

did the same - cold turkey. didn't have your symptoms though.

been off them about 16 yrs now.:-D
 
thats the way i did it, been packed in about 2 year now. but i feel myself getting urges now and then, there only little ones that just get pushed away, but nout to worry about suppose, couldnt think of out worse then going back on them
 
just off for a tab, they are lush

i know, ive smoked twelvty hundred thousand of them! if ya want a tab, have one, i"m no Damascus road warrior, just got sick of them. i sit in the smoking shelter at work , reading me paper, and having a crack on with the lads, nee bother. i sat in the bait cabin for a week or so, but the crack was boring, so i went outside with the lads, and it was the patter i was missing not the tabs. if ya like them , smerk them, i just stopped liking them.

£10 worth of woodbines a day? :eek:

Congrats tho man. I'm 2 weeks into patches at the moment... the medium sized ones start on Monday. Not had one yet, but been here before.
 
Been off them for 9 months now after 47 years up to 30 a day, didnt have any withdrawls at all, mind you being told you have cancer does help!;)
Hopefully if I am better next year a cruise out of my savings.
 
we just call them "bines" at work ."i"m away out for a "bine", obviously from woodbine. not buying 20 tabs at 6 pund plus, and a newspaper, and chewing gum at ten bob a pack (just buy it in bulk from home and bargain now for ten pence a pack!) and sundry other crap you pick up in the newsagent, plus the extra packs you buy when you go out on a weekend, saves a shitload, believe me.

well done mate.
i've been seriously thinking of packing in myself, even went as far as getting the 'nhs quit kit' (haven't opened it yet like)
 
had this convo today
i gave up in march last year to train for the great north run, havent touched one since but i do still crave
lass i met today was trying to quit, pretty much managed, but said she still had th eodd one or two now n then
which made me a bit jealous
i miss it, its relaxing, it looks cool as a bastard when youre smoking, but the aftermath oh lord the aftermath
 
well done mate. I dont know many smokers other than my parents right now as loads of people have worked really hard to give them up. Shame my parents cant see what the tabs are doing to them, they are in denial.
