Hi guys I have to report I failed for now I tried from the 3/10/2009 without replacement therapy,good news I'm back on track 13/10/2009 I have a clinic appointment so then!
And congrats to Allan for doing better than I
[edit]Oh and I'm being screened for HBP this will take a while for the tests but thus far no meds recommended this may change in a few weeks tho
Thanks John and keep trying.. I'm chewing a few pieces of gum a day, and still doing well..

And thank to all the guys helping me with the above...

Hi guys and well done Allan "three weeks"

Sorry but I could not do it without some help

I now have my prescription and have signed for a twelve week course at my local clinic the date set now is Wednesday 21st to quit

BTW the prescription is free for the whole twelve week course

I have the patches and the inhalator

Thanks, John and good for you that you stick with the plan...

I gotta say that I did quit 7 months last year (Why the heck did I start again..?)

and here on my third week I'm still chewing 4-5 pieces of nicotinegum a day.. Along the way I ought to cut back on the chewing, or I'll end up with a jaw like Arnold..

A good advice is to EDC a great MT to play with so you keep your hands busy... My Recaro Sideclip from Chris (Magicbus) has been doing wonders..

Oh, yeah... And spend all your money on tools so you can't afford smoking...

Keep us posted on your progress..

Good luck John

It doesn't matter what helps as long as it does. Will power alone is a tough option for most people $:-\$
You should be enormously proud of yourself for even trying to get this done.

I'm still smoking, albeit not a lot these days and I wish I didn't like it... ridiculous thing to do to yourself!

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #69 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:02:32 PM

Best of luck John mate

John · **Reply #70 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:03:04 PM

Thanks guys

Yes Allan I carry my CT-41 lots to keep my hands busy ironically that's maybe why I got it from Neil,

I plan to get back to some hill walking I stress walking as I'm no spring chicken,not like in my youth when I could run the full stretch of the Malvern hills,scout pacing Snowdonia,running a full 26 miles and walking 40 miles of the Pennines on top of that I used to walk the 20 miles to Birmingham from where I live,that said these days I find a tuft of grass a mountain to climb

nuphoria I do hope you can find it in yourself to quit I wish you well what ever you decide

John · **Reply #71 on:** October 30, 2009, 10:17:51 AM

Update hey hey! a week off the ciggy's and I get to use my SAK scissors to cut free the patch from the package

MultiMat · **Reply #72 on:** October 30, 2009, 10:37:20 AM

Keep up the good work John

.
I think at the end of each successful week a tool/SAK reward is in order

Screaming into a pillow helps..

I'm still chewing some nicotine gum, but I don't have the need for lightning a cigarette any more...

Now I just need to kick the Multitool habit..

Good to hear that your BP went down mine also was high about 140-160 with 80-90 pulse (note im 14years old)because i ate too much salty food . After some time without salty food it went down Now its normal

Yes around two weeks now Allan

Oh and Mate! you've just reminded me to get my BP checked again

With that you'll find it hard to purchase most tools or knives due to the world age constrictions on buying such tools

No it isn't really hard to purchase anything new

the only problem is they are so expensive there for example i paid 11000 forint's (60USD) for my new GAK. and a simple Swisstool without sheath and any kind of plus costs 20000-21000 forint's (100-110 USD)
