reformed smokers

[Renton 21040]

Three weeks and two days since i last had a cigarette hardest thing I have ever done but it's either pack in or die through heart disease for me according to the Freeman hospital after my little unplanned emergency visit to them !!

 

Fucking hell Radgina, get well soon and don't even dream of having a tab ever again.

 

Such a stupid addiction, takes so much and offers almost nothing from my experience.

 

One of the lads in Utrecht at the weekend just turned 40, heavy smoker and drinker since God was a boy. He ended up in hospital a few weeks ago, technically died for 45 seconds and had a pacemaker fitted. Still came out on our weekend of debauchery and ended up burning up the coffee shops like nobody's business, ordering vodka like it was tap water and beckoning people to touch his pacemaker scar .

 

Please don't follow his example, Radgi - if nothing else Brock needs someone else to perv over compliment his eyes.

 

 

Would'nt dream of it Meenz I have actually been out for a drink since ( in moderation of course) as I saw that as my main test for wanting to smoke.... I drank a little and smoked nothing but one of those pretend plastic cigarette things that look suspiciously like tampons I may even paint the end of it with some red nail varnish to heighten the effect ??

 

 

And Brock has got gorgeous eyes

 

You want to give the appearance of chewing on a bloodied tampon while you're out? Nice...........

I'm fucked I have been since me birthday, but am worse noo than at any point. Eyes are killing me, I've slept right through from 3 till 10 today, got 4 hours work to do tomorrow (that I was supposed to do today) and am free for the holiday but I am fucked. Getting smashed off me tits in London probably hasn't helped matters, but one majorly good thing has happened as a result. I haven't had a tab since Saturday, and av been so ill I haven't even been craving them cos me throats so sore. So happy days, if a get to Saturday night cos the pub and match will be the test, and a still haven't had one I should be home free. With god's help I'll conquer this terrible affliction, to quote Mark Renton.

Cut back to about 42 a day.

You should chuck them Parky.

 

I've got no discipline at all, so If I can give up anyone can, Thursday now and I'm thinking about them but can do without. Well done me.

I've only been smoking for about 8 years so the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

[Dr Gloom 21757]

i had about 12 tabs the night of my work do but swear they made my hangover ten times worse. i was dry wretchign all morning while at work - not a good look - and all i could taste in my mouth was borbon and malboroughs - nice.

 

thankfully, i haven't been able to stmocah the thought of one since

[Guest alex]

Funny like as a I still smoke joints with baccy but can't really stomach a whole tab now even when I'm half-cut. The smoking ban has helped like.

M lights are the worst thing on coke. I could easily go through 2 packs a night in the bad old days.

my brother mastered that art but i've never been able to just keep it to just the wild woodbines. as soon as i touch a joint i'm back on the tabs 24/7 or caining about 5 joints a day after work (and feeling like shit all day at work because of the nicotine cravings).

 

the only way for me is cold turkey.

ouch, that'll be one sore throat the next day. i know what you mean though. the reason i've been able to almsot quit is those days for me are few and far between now.

 

i don't know about anyone else but in my group of mates all the birds have all 'grown out' of the big nights and the lads are all still a bunch of closet savages just waiting for a chance to get together with out the birds for a night of carnage. used to be every weekend but you're talking about once every 6 weeks these days. that's the problem when everyone starts moving in with their lasses and having kids. there used to be one remaining house share up until last year that a gorup of mates lived in where we always used to go for nights of pro evo and gack but these days there's nowhere as literally every one of my mates have moved in with their missus. sign of the times i suppose, approaching mid 30s. not getting any younger and all that.

 

bit of a rant there, apologies for derailing the thread

Same with me and my lot. Some have moved in with birds(myself included), 2 have moved to the states, with another on the way. There's just 2 single lads left, who go out and get annihilated about twice a week.

 

Any other older mates I've spoken to about it say it's just something that happens every group. I'm a bit depressed that those sort of sessions with all the lads are going to be only about 5times a year for bithdays/Paddys day etc. We used to do a pro evo session with a bag of greasy cans at least once a week back in the day.

i've been off the smokes since new year.

 

apart from the odd lapse when the wife hasn't been around, i've done well.

 

despite the fact that i'm over the physical cravings, i still get the mental cravings all the time.

 

it's murder now the sun is out. i'd love nothig more this afternoon than hit the boozer, smoke endless tabs then spark a fattie up when i get home.

 

reformed smokers - do the mental cravings ever go away?

 

Been stopped since Oct 15th 1990. Started when I was 12. Smoked mostly rollies.

 

Couldn't think of anything worse than having another tab. Yuk. Cravings? Not since about Oct 16th, 1990.

[McFaul 35]

I think it's four weeks tomorrow since I had a tab, appetite back with a vengeance, taste buds coming back even salads taste nice, but I still fancy a tab. I'm over the worst now though I think, there's no turning back.

Good stuff, Stevie. I'm not taking the piss when I say smoking is a fuckin' MUGS game.

Aye if you smoke fucking blokes.

Homophobe.

 

I know snakey, it makes you look an OC before your time. Makes me look rough as fuck to be honest, when I've been smoking for a few month. Changes your skin long term and makes you feel like shite, and can't run as fast. Fuck knows how Vialli and Ginola smoked 40 a day as professional footballers.

[Toonraider 0]

19 months without a ciggy now for me It was much easier than I thought, I just stopped dead with no help. But occasionally I could murder one!! Normally when I see someone else lighting up or if I'm having a drink. But like Stevie, there is NO going back now!

Just talking about it makes me fancy one to be honest. I have the very occasional, and I mean very occasional spliff, am nee Shaun Ryder, but that has to go as well, because that's what got me back on the tabs in the first place.

I don't like the old 'happy baccy' but someone we know smokes it all the time, I mean ALL the time....more of that than baccy in every roll up! Hubby gave up smoking years ago but still fancies a spliff but daren't, as like you he's worried he'll start smoking again.

[Guest alex]

The easy solution is to use a pipe/bong.

Too much temptation, then afterwards you smoke a tab "aye one will dee nee harm", nextthing you know you're on 20 a day.

Academically I'm quite intelligent, but I've got fuck all common sense. I might sound like DEADMAN here, I've got a pipe but I don't know how to use the cunt! Keep burning the blue tac bit at the bottom but fuck all happens. Buckets and the like other people have always done them for me. Buckets always killed my throat so much too.

[Guest alex]

There's a nice little pipe you can buy called agent blue. Only really works well for grass rather than solid though. As long as you clean it regularly you can't go wrong. What's good about it is it's also quite easy and discreet to use when you're out and about.
