On holiday by mistake
Happy new year to everyone.
I have subscribed to the tired old cliche of giving up smoking as a new years resolution. Its been about 30 hours so far and i am finding it really tough.
I have smoked most of my adult life since i was about 17 - i am 35 now. I was smoking about 15 a day. I have given up before but always ended up back on the fags. Usually through getting drunk. This time i have gone completely cold turkey - no nicotine replacement rubbish. Just willpower.
for anyone in any doubt this is a full on addiction to a substance that is a real toughy to give up - more addictive than heroin they say.
Couple of qs
1. anyone else giving up at the mo?
2. Why do my lungs hurt - i have stopped ffs? They didnt hurt when i was polluting them!
3. Willpower alone- will it be enough?
4. Is it alright that i have been at work all day but havent done a thing except read the Meat is Murder discussion - cos i cant concentrate on anything else??
Anyone who has given up before - fair play to you - i could use any words of advice you may have.
Cheers
