Well, you lot have inspired me to have a go too.
The "forum" method....
Gave up alcohol in August 2000, started the AtKins diet on May 1, this year and strange as it might sound, when I smoke a fag it gives me a thumping headache.It also tastes pretty different harsher, bitter. Im not worried about overeating either on this diet plan
My Problem is that from exercising 5 days a week, running 40 mins and 1 hr weight training I have since May1, been so listless from Inducting I have no energy in the gym,in fact I have done absloultely no exercize --yikes !
I had thought it would have worn off , tried eating more cals, but the quitting will also prompt me to go to the gym and sweat out the nicotine toxins....I have always kept fit and ran the Singapore Marathon aged 40 in 4hrs.
I've smoked 20-30 a day since I was at boarding school in England when I was 14, Im now 44. Hell that's 30 years...mmmm !
I have tried to stop masses of times the most for 3 weeks in a stretch, for me it is triggered by caffeine so now I drink alot less it'll be easier....
So here goes today my last one was at:
6pm Hong Kong Time 20 May 2002.
Its now 10pm , been for 4hrs already, Im munching on a sugar free Airwave gum.
I'm gonna do this cold turkey, no gum no patches.
Keep you all posted
Richard
