Been off the smokes for approx 7 months now with no slips, no way I'd have been able only for the ecigs. Couldn't give one toss what people think how I look tbh.
Sipping a few cold ones here before an annual family booze filled night tomorrow then on the dry until March at least. I don't think I've gone without a drink for more than 2/3 weeks since I was 18.
Happy New year to you all, I enjoy your ramblings.

I guess I have the a hatred of smoking ever since as a 10year old I tried drinking a full can of opened 7 up in my sisters room.
It was full of cig butts and the smell to this day makes me gag.
Both my parents smoked and 3 of my 4 sisters.
All of them bar one sister all went cold turkey and while not easy they have done it.

I'm flying to Dublin tomorrow, didn't really want to but the missus and daughter have been there for 11 days already so I kinda have to I suppose. I'm not looking forward to the weather but I am looking forward to seeing family and friends.
Might try to get up to JP's one of the nights for a tourney. Haven't played since the last time I was there 16 months ago.

Originally posted by gorrrr72 View PostThanks mate. Yeah, it does make you think of your own lifestyle and mortality. Well done on the effort to give up, I hope you are successful. I've been vaping full time for 2 and half years now, no sneaky fags even when pissed. All the physical affects from smoking are gone so I am (probably foolishly) not overly worried of the affects of vaping. I still check to see if there is any new detrimental affects found. If there is I will re-think the vape habit. It's weird though, I have been on and off the fags for 28 years and even went 6 years without smoking but always went back on them. This time feels different, I don't know if it's an age thing but I have absolutely no desire to smoke anymore.
2.5 years vaping, went five years off them, and 26 years smoking.
100% agree with everything else you've said too.I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

I like to think I pay it forward, I speak to everyone about vaping whether they are smokers or not (because everyone knows smokers that they can help).
My sister, 2 brothers in law and 2 brothers have all converted and are doing well.
I just need to follow your lead now and get of my arse, it's not as if I don't have the time and great climate to get it done. New years resolution and all that.

I bought one of the new 'Joyetech eGo AIO'. 25 quid. Just top it up with juice and replace the coil which are 2 quid about once a week and you are good to go. I couldn't believe how easy it was to transition. I haven't smoked in well over 2 months. I don't even vape that much throughout the day but when having a drink it completely takes away any craving for a smoke.
tbh, after the first couple of weeks smoking and vaping became at least for me completely different things. The weird thing is that it has actually completely put me off smoking in that even the thoughts of a cigarette I now find horrible. I think it was Lazare who said the same on here recently. Maybe it is cause I instantly liked the more juice/sweet flavours than the tobacco ones which I thought were horrible. I wouldn't even consider a cigarette now if I was out and about and ran out of juice. They seem completely removed from one another.

I'm off them quite a while now.
I was vaping but must have broken about 6 of the fuckers putting them in my pocket and sitting on them within a month or so of quitting. So just went cold turkey
I had this habit just before lauren was born and a little after of smoking when drinking. I'm still at a loss to explain it. Maybe some selfish abdication of responsibility thing. The only issue I have now is the odd (very odd) J. Used to be able to get some non tobacco stuff in the dam but haven't seen it herePeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Loving the reddit commentary saying Trump will just reverse Obama's expulsions. Why the fck would Putin want to put 35 known exposed spies back in the US?

It's not a joke. There will be one. I know it's really funny though.
He is stupid and doesn't take this game seriously.
There will be one. Or more. There always is.
sadly.

1/4 he will die.
You meeting him? Zilch.
People like you and I never meet important people. And nothing interesting ever happens to us.
But we are content.
Do as you will. But I think it's better you don't place that bet it's nicer. And stop living in cuckoo land.
Now that i have said that ...please don't shoot ! I am tiny!

Originally posted by Lazare View PostGood man, best of luck with it.
Would you think about taking up running?
Taking up a healthy pursuit while trying to quit helps immensely, particularly running as not only is it simple it fills the mind with positivity and cancels out all the negativity and pain that goes with giving up.
Also, focus on all you're gaining by quitting, taste buds coming back, fresh breath, clean clothes etc. If you have the mentality that you are gaining rather than losing out you will do it.
I joined the gym the end of November but it closed 10 days later for a refit! it opened again on the 27th but with 3 kids at home I haven't managed to get down.
I do fancy running though. I keep thinking though I will never ever be able? If I sprint to catch the school bus I am exhausted! I just keep thinking this is it for me and it's all downhill!
I did try a year back to do the couch to 5k but it bored me. I did try it using a treadmill and didn't like it either. I just want to be able to not be exhausted all the time which is the way I feel. I couldn't do much with the Plantar thing on both feet, but that has eased up after I treated it so there really is no excuse.
I basically just don't know where to start. Any guidance would be great!
Originally posted by Lazare View PostFair play to them, it's a really tough thing to do. Fair play to you for not ever taking it up. Parents smoking has to be the biggest influence generally for kids taking it up.
My Da smoked and I idolised him. Still does, still do.
I found the smell in the house and seeing them smoke put me off big time. I have NEVER tried a cigarette. And I doubt at my age that will change.

We were the opposite. Both parents smoked, me and my two siblings nagged them all the time. Now we have all grown up NONE of us smoke including the parents. Mine have been off 12 years at least now.

I did 5k three times a week a few years back ...i would have been in college and kept it up a bit after. Then it all fell apart. I did it just by walking first. Don't start running back gently does it. You have to walk 5k every day for a few months before you can run it i think. Save your knees. I am a gentle does it kind of gal. :-)
Martial arts are good. If you are lazy like me. Dance etc. But I think looking back i started most things just by walking.
Never smoked either...they say money buys anything...but if you buy somethings they will own you. Cigarettes are just one of those things.

Jesus Christ just woke up to a Maltese dog licking my face. Feel like vomiting I'm that hungover. Thoughts of climbing down into a war bunker is really not appealing. And the thoughts of a house party tonight makes me want to actually go to the bunker and never come out

I've never smoked and it's 100% down to what I've seen them do to my Dad.
Over the last 30 years or so, he has had two tubes put into his chest (before stents we used), he's had dozen of TIA's (mini strokes) has had 5 stents put in, has had his heart stopped and restarted several times, has been in every hospital in Dublin for treatmemt going back as far as The Richmond, has had a massive heart attack that left him in ICU for a week and a really bad stroke. He should never had survived either one but somehow he has. We call him Lazerus 😁
He is now only 73 but he is an incredibly old 73 and struggles with so many things. When I compare him to my mates Dads who are same age, it's like night and day.
Still idolise him but also wish he never smoked as we would be able to do so much more together now if he didn't.
Bizarrely, all three of my sisters smoked which I think is in part due to the age gap between me and then. Eldest sister is 10 years older than me. Youngest sister is 6 years older than me. Think they took up smoking before they could see the harm from it. One still smokes, one would only smoke about 3/4 a year and the other is off them completely over 15 years

I have scars on my lungs from whooping cough. I was basically told i would be insane to smoke. I took the advice seriously.
Plus I am a little bit of a singer. Smoke= killing your voice. No thanks.
