So you smell of cheese, SA? It's not Brie, is it?

Gave up fags 2 wks ago and i feel like $**te.Actually I could have one right now so thanks guys for reminding me about it. guess i'll have to have a cold shower or som'it

You just stop thinking about it as time passes. You're counting each hour let alone each day in the first few weeks. A regular smoker would tend to have a smoke at fairly regular times each day and suddenly these little delimiters are gone so the change to the whole routine knocks you out of kilter as well.

I also think you have to be prepared to modify other aspects of your life as well. I know if I was the sort of bloke to go down the pub each night, there's no way I would every have given up. Getting older and having kids = less pub time, which made it easier to kick it.

Most ex-smokers are well aware that if they went out on a big beer session, there's a distinct possibility of having a tab when the old rational thinking goes AWOL. That's when I've folded in the past and you end up feeling really guilty and annoyed at yourself. Don't do that.

It gets easier, honest!

Keep with it.. the first 2 weeks are the worst, but the urge won't go ever

MY other half was poorly over Christmas just gone and needed to go into hospital for a good few weeks, initially she was complaining about being dizzy, headaches etc... I didn't have the heart to say she was going through cold turkey. She hasn't had one since but giving up that way was a little severe

Mate dont do it. If I can last over 3 months ANYONE can!!!

And I feel absolutely great by it. Best thing I ever did.

Its a ******* horrible habit, and it stinks!

Stick with it. First 2 weeks are some of the hardest. If you can get to around 12 weeks you are almost home and dry.

If you want a second opinion, SA, I would be very happy to have a sniff around and provide an itemised report.

Sal, maybe you left a little bit of cheese or cheese grease just below your nose?

How many days without fags?

I'm thinking of taking it up (again) it certainly cheers me up (until I need another one!).

[Old Greg]

I would have thought it explained it precisely...

How wrong you are.

[Old Greg]

You missed option 8: you are both Spartacus.

That wouldn't explain how we've both had the same panini for lunch.

I think he meant knobs, but that made me laugh, so bravo
