Well done you. I gave up 9 weeks ago. I still want a ciggie but I try and fight it. I hope I can last as long as you

9 weeks is good. I found eating twiglets helped. But go day by day. Its tough isnt it? but if I can do it anyone can do it. :)

Well done both - that's amazing. I quit on the last day of March this year and haven't had one since.

I'd had a heavy night on the ale and then didn't smoke the entire day after and thought that 24 hours without smoking was a good start and just kept it up - didn't find it too difficult as it turned out.

Going out was the difficult bit to start off with - what do you do with your hands! I just made sure I had a bit of paper or a beer mat or something to fiddle with adn it was fine.

How did everyone else find it? Hard/ easy? Any tips or tricks you used?

You have done well too, almost 6 months. For me it was twiglets, I took packets everywhere. Even held one like a ciggie. hehehehehe. Playing with a bit of paper is good and doodling. Always have a pen handy and paper. I did some real good doodles. And on times I have been known to pig out on wine gums. Then of course you have to think of your teeth. Theres no winning hehehehe. One day at a time and one thing at a time. If you gain weight you can always shift it later. Tons of luck to all who give up. :thumbsup:

Well done guys :thumbsup:

Filthy habit, I used to smoke at University, really enjoyed it and didn't give the consequences a second thought, I gave up when I moved in with my missus 6 years ago - thinking back it was a pretty foul lifestyle sparking up in the morning before getting out of bed! :speechless:
