singalong Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 I started smoking when I was 16 and smoked more than a pack a day (actually two packs for the last 20 years) for 45 years. In mid August I landed in intensive care with pneumonia and H1N1 - not caused by smoking, but certainly made worse by the fact that my lungs were not in great shape because of my smoking.Decided to give up while I was still on a BiPap machine because it was one of the worst things I've ever been through.I've been smoke free now for almost 2 months, no patches, gum or drugs - completely cold turkey.Though there illness had a major bearing on my decision to quit, I had to make the decision and things became much easier after that.Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I stopped smoking 3 months ago. I had little choice not to as I was diagnosed with Tonsil cancer and advised that if I continued smoking it would minimise the effect of the Radiotherapy that I would receive. I had 6 weeks of daily RT on my throat and neck area which was intense and the side affects left me not even thinking about having a cigarette. I am now in recovery and I have not smoked since, That said there are days when I have started craving again. I don't keep any cigarette papers in the house although I have not thrown away my tobacco. I hope to fuck, I don't start again at any point. Left to my own devices, I doubt whether I would have stopped smoking so I don't take any credit for stopping. I have no idea whether the T1 cancer cells were a direct result of years of smoking but there is probably a good chance that it was. Since I stopped, I do breath better but apart from that I don't feel any major benefits. Not easy for any smoker just to quit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Legal dealing of course 😀 I have not drank alcohol for 3 months either. That is not to say that when my sense of taste fully returns that I will not drink again I was at my daughter's yesterday and tried a sip of her wine. Tasted like vinegar. Could be a while before my taste buds and saliva glands recover but I could murder a pint of beer. The real test will be, is in a setting where I am having a drink and then may want a cigarette. I am planning a trip in Jan 2020 to Thailand and that will probably be the big test. Mind you, alcohol has never been a big problem for me.

Yea, would've been very hard for me to stop if I had still be drinking TBH. So are Dr Who or what, going back in time to 2012 for your trip, better exchange rates?

Looking at the 9th, but not booked yet until I am sure I will be well enough. If so, we must definitely meet up, for a cigar and a glass of brandy 😊 Maybe we can arrange a London drink near xmas ?

singalong Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Had a couple of beers on Saturday with some friends who are smokers - this was the first time after I gave up. Glad to say that I didn't start up again though the craving was there. Another thing I discovered is that the craving doesn't last very long - maybe a minute or so at the most and once you're over that it disappears...Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post singalong Posted December 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2019 Just a quick follow up - it's been just over 4 months that I've been smoke free. Pretty much rehabilitated from my illness. Got pissed the other night and still smoke free - the cravings are still there from time to time but much less intense than before.Posting this for people who are still wondering if they can do it - I never thought I could but it seems that I have, and, if I can do it, anyone can...Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanzalad Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I couldn't pack it in and tried many times in the past and when that doctor sat me down and told me I have cancer I didn't touch another cig. That was 14 months ago i kind of miss it in a way when relaxing after a meal but when I smell spent smoke it puts me off. I think i'll stay a non smoker. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
