^^^Big Massive respect in your area Mr. I've lost a couple of mates due to booze abuse. 1 because he literally drank himself dead and another because I could only stand by and watch the implosion for so long. My closest friend is battling but he's managing to keep his business going and keep sober during the day so a high functioning boozer.
I'm 5 weeks into being a non-smoker after 35 years of industrial style inhalations...a tad up n down but quite enjoying the clarity and the non-wheezing which was the main reason.
I didn't choose new year Lent or #NationalNoSmoking I just knew it was time to do something. I may have a blast in the future I may not.
If it wasn't for the lack of lung I'd still be smoking. Also old enough to have lost family members and friends/colleagues who never smoked or drank booze...Just fed up of spending the morning spitting and disguising my persistent coughs from Mrs HT.
Booze is a proper tricky one ..Birthday..Booze..End of working week Booze Birth..Deaths Marriage..Booze..New Job Booze...Lost Job Booze...so that's why I think you deserve a big special HT reacharound.

Well done on giving up
I gave up smoking 20 years ago after being on 40-60 Marlboro reds a day. I just decided that day I'd stop and did. I had tried before many times without success so I think 99.9% is your frame of mind. I still could never have another fag as I'm sure I'd just start again.
Booze is difficult, much more. Its insidious how it gets hold of you and the only person who doesn't see it is you. I stopped drinking in the house because I was drinking alone when the missus had gone to bed and would think nothing of knocking back a bottle of plonk.
I still drink when out. I don't think I have the willpower or actually want to give up completely as I like it but fair play to anyone who succeeds. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Cheers HT, don't want to give the impression that I'm massively struggling with it, or bushed my teeth with a bottle of voddy every day.
Probably 4 cans of larger a night for 3 nights, a bottle of wine for 3 nights. On average.
Enough to get fat, slow and moobs. And, I think, an altered brain.
The last few days if I think about beer, I salivate. God I'd love a beer.
Fortunately, my one super power is lazyness. I could be a crack addict, but if its not in my home, meh, can't be arsed to go out looking for it.
I'm 5 weeks into being a non-smoker after 35 years of industrial style inhalations...a tad up n down but quite enjoying the clarity and the non-wheezing which was the main reason.
Congrats boss, very cool! Did you find initially it was actually harder to breathe for a couple of weeks?
That's something the quit adds don't tell you. Give up smoking and instantly get Asthma.
I quit in 2004 after 8 years of 20 B&H / day because of fecked lungs all the time. The smoking ban in 2007 would have ruined it anyway, props to those who carried on.
In 2000 I was having a fag outside an office and this old fella comes past and says "I gave that up 10 years ago......and there's not a day goes by that I wouldn't kill for a cigarette"
To be fair, 6 years after I gave up, if you'd passed me in the street smoking a Benson, I'd have tailed you home (again) inhaling your cast-offs. But by about year 8, I'd flipped. Couldn't stand the smell.
There you go HT, a rousing motivational snippet... |

^^^So you didn't wake up with soiled clothing and police incident number in your pocket....Amateur.
I was not kidding about being an industrial level smoker. Done more than my share. I can inhale a smoldering bonfire. Just shy of 100 grams of baccy a week..no filters so in answer to your question I'm breathing better than I have in years.
I knew the toxins would leave within a few weeks or so..Patches and vaping isn't for me.
I'm not getting the mental urge to buy it. No mither if I end up having an occasional, similar to Polarbear and his occasional drink when he's out socialising.
I will no doubt have a social smoke at shindigs but something inside has clicked that I won't be buying anymore, and for me that's the key.
I don't see smoking/drinking/drugging/computering/eating/sexing as bad until it hinders you.
Could do without the up n down feelings but that could just be how I operate.

Stick at it. Although I still smoke weed, I smoke it straight from the grinder, no tobacco. I quit that after about 27 years of
recreational spliff and habitual cigarette smoking. The last 15 of those years I smoked roll ups as I stopped buying
tailor mades when they hit £5 a packet. But I'm 5 years completely 100% tobacco free, no relapses for exactly 5
years on the coming 13th March. But I won't lie, quitting the way I did was a big shock to my system and it was a good
year before I genuinely felf any noticable benefit from dropping the fags. More recently I've felt the benefit when I'm out
yomping around with the dog, it's mixed terrain and she's a combo of 2 different working breeds so she takes some keeping
up with. It's worth it in the end. I also appreciated being a non smoker by the time I travelled to NZ and Canada as those
flights would have had me on edge with nicotine withdrawl had I still been a smoker. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
