deeveus 81 Report post Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) What did you do with all your spare time Glenn? I imagine it takes about two minutes per ciggie? 2x50 per day... Say about 10-11 hours a week? Edited September 11, 2011 by The Diesel Guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ari Gold Report post Posted September 11, 2011 What did you do with all your spare time Glenn? I imagine it takes about two minutes per ciggie? 2x50 per day... Say about 10-11 hours a week? A Peter Stuyvesant Classic takes 6 mins on average, Marlboro brands slightly faster, as their tobacco burns faster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tire 10 Report post Posted September 11, 2011 Good to hear Glenn. I must come say hi, haven't done so for ages. I want to talk with whoever does your twitter - hes a muppy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curryinahurry 38 Report post Posted September 11, 2011 Hey Glenn, I've been following this thread since the beginning. Good on you for giving up and it looks like you've been inspirational for a few others along the way. Good on ya! Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 20, 2011 Well... it was exactly a year to the day this morning about 3.00-4.00 am a year ago I had my last smoke. Can't say it's been a good year.... but it has been a year. If I did inspire others to give up along the way... I really hope they were able to do it with less pain than I've had to endure in the last 12 months. I'm now a legal non smoker.. saved all my wasted money and all my insurances will drop now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never had a single one and dont plan to start (mind you money saved goes on booze...), but it goes to show it can be done, even after smoking for all these years!

Feels good aye ... the only down side to it is I cant stand when other smoke .. it really make me want to vomit. So much more sensitive to it than before I started smoking. Time for you stick that money youre saving into a racecar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Time for you stick that money youre saving into a racecar Cant stand it either, and I've never smoked apart from trying it a few times while at the occasional party (made me spew last time I had a puff). Immediately regretted it in the morning, makes your mouth taste horrible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted June 8, 2012 How are you still going with yours Glenn, I am at the 5 month mark now and still get the urge every couple of days to spark up. Some days are worse depending on stress at work and I have gone from 70kg to 81kg and believe me thats a lot for somebody whos never been over 70kg in 42 years. Pretty proud of myself to get to this stage I don't think I could have made it if both myself and my partner gave up togeather. No real extra money floating around but it gets used up is other area's. We both did not have any side effects from using the champix that we had read about or people had mentioned and I think taking them really did help for that first 3 months. I went from 2 x 50 gram pouches (was a roll your own man) to nothing in a week. Smoked hard out for 30 years. Its by no means easy and a very hard addiction to overcome, I think I am over the worst of it now and actually enojoy not being a non smoker now.

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted September 10, 2012 A bit of a milestone today... 2 years now at 3.00 am this morning. I probably can say I'm a cured smoker, but I know now I'll never smoke again and I'm not one of those who will turn on smokers. They say X smokers can get real anti towards those who can't or don't want to quit. Ha ha... just kidding... I still smoke... I always have Bacon that is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
