Really struggling with this no smokey ::) I have the E fag currently charging on the laptop .. Not getting the nicotine fix i need :'( Had to cut sugar out as of diabetic now so crawling the walls for a sugar fix and nicotine fix :(

This is where you need to do something to take your mind of it,maybe buy some model kits for instance.
-
There are some studies which claim that sugar can be as addictive as heroin. Nicotine is more addictive than heroin. Having gone through quitting both at separate times I feel for you right now, you must be going through hell.
Maybe doing some sport could help with a dopamine fix? Also a good way of temporary relief from the fags is brushing your teeth :y

I was thinking of that yesterday :) Maybe some sugar free sweets while im building it :-\ Nurse said today that changing my diet and quitting fags all at once is a lot to cope with .. Im thinking a punch bag to de-stress or maybe buy a Peugeot and a couple of hammers ::) ;D

I've found these in the local Morrisons http://www.healthstore.uk.com/p526486/sula-sugar-free-butterscotch-sweets-42g.html (http://www.healthstore.uk.com/p526486/sula-sugar-free-butterscotch-sweets-42g.html)
Very nice and only 50p a packet.

Whatever you do, DO NOT eat lots of polo's!!
My dad gave up cigarettes and went through a packet a day of polo's. Went to the dentist for his check up and the dentist asked:
Have you quite smoking? Yes.
Are you eating polo's? Yes.
That's why your teeth are wearing away so quick! Polo's were stripping the enamel off his teeth and eroding them away.
HTH's :y

Nicotine is more addictive than heroin.
My cousin gave up smoking using nicotine patches and gum. Although he found giving up smoking quite easy and has never started again, it took him 5 years to completely quit the nicotine dependency. :o

Oh and check out Nairn's oatcakes. Nurse seemed quite pleased when I told her I was on them rather than ordinary biscuits.

All I can say EMD is...... 'GOOD LUCK'. Stick at it... :y :y

Emd, very good news and congrats :y :y :y :y
the only thing I can say is please also steer clear from electronic fags.. I tried them and my body told that their chemicals are even worse than normal fags.. :-\
Captain Zok may not agree though ;D

That may point to you being sensitive to Propylene Glycol. Try juice with a higher Glycerine content. You're not using the cheapo market stall juices are you? Some of those are known to cause problems.
-

If it's costing more than tobacco you're being ripped off. We've saved over a grand since last Feb and that's buying baccy at under the counter prices.

Just read up on E fag and turns out cancer-causing substances (carcinogens)
are present in the top 2 market leading brands >:( Goin to go back to nursie for something else .
-
Maybe so, but the odds are far better with e fags than with normal fags.
Best of luck EMD keep at it. :y any change in your routine is going to be hard though. But hate those fags. They are trying to kill you. AND charging you for the privilege. >:(
Repeat to fade... I am a non smoker. I am a non smoker. I am a non smoker....:y
-
Really struggling with this no smokey ::) ....
Keep at it ..... it's hard work. :y :y
As cem suggests try Champix - SWMBO used it with the required effect (I used its predecessor)

Good luck Steve, I'm still on Nicotine patches.....after 4 years :o :-[

I gave up smoking twice....first time failed after stopping for 5 months.......afterwards i was so damm angry at myself for going back to them that i swore i would give up the second time without out fail.....My god was that hard but to make it easier i did it with a friend who also wanted to stop......My friend gave up after a month so i laid into him taking the pee at every chance i got,How ever then realized that after shouting my gob off at him i dare not give in.....for fear of reprisals ...Sorry to say there is no easy way out....You need sheer willpower to do this.........i managed to do it that time and that was 30 years ago and smoking 40 a day.....and so glad i managed to quit.......I wish you well in your attempt to quit,it aint easy but it is well worth it.....Good luck matey.. :y :y :y :y

pumpkin seeds are also helpful.. (without salt) stay away from tea and coffe)
bitter chocolate also stops the need
ashtrays, lighters , fags must never be around.. and although not very desirable, taking low dose metformin definitely helps (I discovered)
every time you need one, go out and have a walk..
-
Been messing around with a vapouriser thing for the last week, been up to 1 1/2 day without but it seems to do the job so will be giving the fags the heave ho today. I must say even this short a time I have noticed i'm spending so much less money. :y
-
Went to pharmacy and now have nicotine patches and an inhalator . Nice young lady was saying they dont recommend the Electronic fags because of unknown chemicals in them and they have not been proven . Hope this new batch of stuff will do the trick ::)
Now need a sugar fix :D

I know English isn't your first language, but what is that all about? Metformin is a treatment for diabetes, not a laxative to empty your bowels with! Pepper has nothing to do with diabetes! And if you tell a diabetic to eat as little as possible, you are possibly setting them up for a disaster called hypoglycaemia which by the way is often fatal.
-
I am adjusting to eating healthier foods , sardines and salad with brown bread today for lunch . Maybe jacket potato and beanz later :) The inhalator seems to be working together with the patches :y
Oh forgot to say nursie said i need to loose 2 stone :-[ Hope its going to drop off :-\

D, its got nothing to do with language.. and probably you missed the diabet thread.. so dont jump in conclusions without knowing whats behind..
and by the way a lot of OOFers is suffering from the same problem like I do.. and we know what we are talking about.. so no worries..

At the stage of thinking a smoke wont harm and nip out and get a 10 pack :-[ but ill feel sick having a smoke then feel bad i did it ::) And a juicy steak with chips is on my mind with a jam rollie pudding with custard for afters :(
-
Stick with it,it really is worth it and it gets easier. :y :y
Have the steak and chips as a reward to yourself with the money saved on fags ;)
-
Don't do it EMD!! :o
Be strong and don't give in!! :) :) :)

In my humble opinion, you've got very little chance of success if you follow your current regime. You can't just stop everything all at once, it simply will not work. You need to do it one thing at a time. Decide which is most important and concentrate on that (that would be smoking for me). As for your diet, promise yourself a treat now and again and look forward to it.
You are either a smoker or you aren't, there is a bit more leeway with food.
Just my tuppence worth........from experience.
-
Emd, red meat (oily or not) will increase hormone production.. which then will trigger desire for smoke..
of course you cant stay hungry with a type 2 ..
but as you become older your bowel movements will slow down ..
to compansate you have to exercise and eat less .. or if you eat same as before you have to take metformin or similiar things to decrease absorption .. its a known fact that when blood sugar levels increase it also triggers desire to smoke..
also , when you gave up smoking your bowels will slow down more at first which later may turn to normal.. but if you continue to eat same as before you will gain excess weight which will worsen the picture for type 2
and get a blood glucose metering device and keep under hand.. so those who scares you with hypoglycemia will feel better :D
-
you have to take metformin
Ive been taking the metformin cem and eating less , stomach shrinks with eating less or so im told :-\ I haven't given in to the fags and still puffing on the inhalator but not getting the same kick as a smoke :( Would a steak and chips be ok for a treat at the weekend say :-\
-
Resist temptation, but buy a 4oz steak rather than a big slab, and oven cooked sweet potato wedges rather than pan fried chips :y oh and some salad on the side... ::)
Also you can by diabetic icecream too 8) Waitrose and Tescos both sell it, so you don't have to shit out completely :y
-
so you don't have to shit out completely :y
Although if you eat too many things sweetened with 'sugar substitutes' .. well, read the reviews (http://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Gummy-Candy-Sugarless-5-Pound/dp/B000EVQWKC)! ;D
(On a serious note, I agree with Al - just downsize the portions .. everything in moderation, as they say)

only for the weekend yes ;D but as told be very careful about the kidneys.. and some peoples system dont give dont give good response to metformin.. if you have problem with it and if it continues talk to doc for another prescription.. there are lighter ones..

Still in its early stages of development but looks very promising. :y :y :y

Not too surprising a concept really. One of the theories of developing late onset type 2 diabetes is that you wear out your insulin producing cells due to eating too much. So, if you control your intake of food, then your diabetic control will improve. Question is how long for and what happens when you start eating too much again?

How's it going ???

2 weeks still not had a smokie :y Think i have done well considering i'd been smoking nearly 40 yrs . Breathing has improved and no longer weezing at night . Back to see the pharmacy on Wednesday to reduce the strength of patches and inhaler . Lost a bit of weight also with the diet :)
-
Well done!! :y

Cheers mate :y Still quite frustrating with the diet as i could kill a syrup sponge and custard ::) but have a treat/meal out once a foughtnight with the money saved on tabs :y
Well done!! :y

;)
No going back now , have you seen the price of cigs now :o
-
The nurse tells me that everybody succumbs to a treat now and again and provided it's not an everyday occurence there's no real harm in it.
Maybe have a syrup sponge as your fortnightly treat once in a while.

Went out with family to a pub dinner and had small steak with about 10 chips , 10 chips all i can have :( a few weeks ago i had the rollie poly with custard for afters but resisted it this time . Agree and nurse did say to have a treat now and then , just not every day ::) I have said i could easily have a cig but i know ill feel sick if i did so ill carry on cig/less :y
-
Well done EMD, you've done great so far. I gave up a 20 a day habit nearly 40 years ago, and have felt so much better for it since. :y :y :y
-
Good stuff Emd. Keep fighting it :y
-
Went to see nurse today and that meter thing you blow in has come down from 7 to 2 :o :y Well pleased with that she was . Think ive stubbed the habbit for good now , dont even crave for one after a meal :)
-
Well done, Mr Emd. You'll save a lot of money from not smoking.
Enough to buy another Omega. ::) ::) ::) ::) ;)

I smoked my last fag in 1980.
Gold Leaf at 51p for 20. :y :y
When I was short of cash I'd often buy a packet of Players No6.......or even worse Players No10. :-\

Well done Sir.
You should hopefully, be through the worst.
I stopped nearly 9 years ago, but still think under the wrong circumstances, it would be far too easy to start again!
Keep up the good work!

Remember you are a smoker who doesn't want to smoke :y
-
The fagometer you blow into at the chemist is down to 2 :) I asked what was the highest she had seen , it was 58 :o . That reading was from a 60 a day smoker :(
-
Well done Mr Emd, that's impressive as I sure it's been tough at times! :y :y :y
-
2 months and still not smoking :) On the lower dose patch now , went through a rough time and nearly cracked but persisted with it :y It helps when you have a sexy nursie to see every 2 weeks :P ;D

God man. :y

Thanks :y On the down side im now 28 stone ;D

It's not enough to elevate him to that position surely?
Well done, EMD, keep it up :y Five years for me now.

Nice one :y Saved a fortune , £7-8 a pack of fags now :o

You've done it :y 7 years for me ;) in fact we had friends for lunch who wanted to go outside for a smoke. I put an ashtray on the table and said "Our guests don't have to feel like pariahs" it doesn't bother me that a friend smokes. I am glad I gave up, 40 years too late but at least my lungs might be back to pink. ;D

Im the same , i dont mind when people smoke around me outside but ive never smoked in the house anyway so wont allow that . Quite like a wiff of the smoke sometimes but im glad ive quit . Nursie gave me the lung blowy thing and its gone down to 1 , originally it was 8 :)
Sense of smell and taste is so much better now ... pity i cant eat a tub of ice cream to try the taste buds >:( diabetic :( still i stubbed the stubbs :D
