A lot of good solid advice here.

 

I don't recall, in all my attempts to stop, day 3 to be this rough!

Its mind over matter - I have the worst self control in the world, but this was worth the vasbyt.

Day 5. All good still.

 

A few rough spots with some very nearly leading to me caving in.

 

Had a few drinks last night. Didn't smoke. All good so far.

 

A little worried about the weekend. Will just have to keep myself busy as possible.

Total of 100km in the last 2 days. Today is day 7. I dont feel so broken after rides and riding is already easier.

It's stuff like this that makes quitting so much easier and more worth while

Maybe try hypnotherapy? Sounds outlandish, but works for some people.

Champix ftw...I know quite a lot of people who succeeded with this pill.

V12Man - apart from the extreme nausea, what other side effects do you know of with this pill?

Do yourself a favour and dont drink for a few weeks the next time you stop. I think one of the hardest parts of stopping smoking (if you enjoy a few drinks) is fighting off the urge to light up while drinking. And if your local is anything like the ones here in Magalies (where they allow smoking indoors, thats why they havent seen me for the last 3 years!) then give them a miss as well. I believe that to stop smoking you need to distance yourself from those who smoke as well as everything that makes you want to smoke, its only for a couple of weeks then the worst of it is over!

Mojoman, I don't drink at all. On the rare occasion Ill have a beer.

 

V12 / Karma. Im considering Champix. Only problem is I don't work so lekker with any drugs that alter chemical balance in the brain for effect. Fine with suppressants.

Sure it's been mentioned on here but Allen Carr Easyway works if you don't want patches, gum or drugs. Helps if you want to give up though. If you're not ready then it will be useless.
