KnobbyMech Posted April 11, 2012 Share A big day for me today. Turning 38 today and realizing I have been smoking over a period of 20 years! (17 in total). That is more than 1/2 of my life. Also promised my wife many years ago that I will quit if we were to have a baby and now our firstborn is due start August. No way I will be a smoker dad! Gotta quit now! No more ex-boody-cuses! Well done to all who quit since this tread started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta quit now! No more ex-boody-cuses! Well done to all who quit since this tread started. Just over 3 months for me, did the Allen Carr seminar which I thought would be a gimmick but it actually makes sense becaus its about the psychology of stopping. Forget patches and drugs and hypnosis or even cutting down, set a goal date and stop from then. A few days of hell and you'll be on your way. I'm the same age as you nearly and also smoked half my life away, glad to be rid of it and putting away the money I was spending on cigarettes away and taking a holiday at the end of the year. Nothing wrong with a bit of incentive too. Good luck fabes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wet Ears Posted April 11, 2012 Share I haven't smoked for 5 or 6 years now (actually stopped counting after 1st year anniversary as that's how little I know think about smoking) and no longer get the urge. I haven't paged through all 24 previous pages so apologies if I am repeating but I went out and bought Allan Carr book and it worked for me. I eventually got to the point where I realised that if I lit up it would taste disgusting and I would have to teach myself to like smokes again - that's what kept me off. Good luck to those attempting to quit - best decision ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
