When did I stop smoking?

In 1995, I gave up for 5 weeks 3 days.
In 1996, I gave up for 1 week 2 days.
In 1999, I have up for 3 weeks 6 days.

In 2000, I gave up...er, I can't remember. I used Nicorette inhaler for about 2 weeks solid, then drifted away from it...must be about 6 to 8 weeks without a ciggie.

That's the best recommendation I can give. I was NOT counting the days once I'd given up! I simply did not need a ciggie - the inhaler was enough.

The problems were breaking out of the routine in the past, but this time, I still went outside for a "ciggie break" but with my inhaler. When something got me down, I reached for the inhaler. When bored, or after eating, I reached for my inhaler.

Soon, I cut down as it tasted a litte worse. Then I started to notice smoke on other people. Now I'm cured...NOT!

You are never cured. You will always get tempted. It is Xmas soon. I've not touched my inhaler for a couple of weeks. I shall be taking it out with me on my Xmas nights out.

Together we'll beat this!

Buy the way - I just bought myself a brand new PC. Another reason to stay of the ciggies, it is my reward, and within a year will be paid for by NOT smoking.

Good luck...
PS. If I haven't updated this in the new year, mail me and I'll let you know how I got on with my smoke-free Xmas.
