Stoptober

So, who's attempting it?

I've been smoking for around 15 years now, it's time to stop!

Last fag was 22:10 last night. I am vaping though, not sure I could go cold turkey.

I thought it was sobertober? It seems every month there is some stupid ice bucket equivalent on.

Stop breathing November.

I hereby promise that for the entire month of October, I will not smoke. Not even once.

(I don't smoke)

I stopped smoking as a new years resolution. It's now been 10 months and I am determined to never smoke again. I feel better, I can breathe better, much more energy, and my heart rhythms, which were troublesome have calmed right down and actually resolve themselves now as opposed to needing medical intervention.

Also my money is lasting far longer without having to stump up £50 a week. So glad I quit, I would strongly advise any smoker to. You will be so happy you did in the long run.

It's just another stupid way to keep the sheeple busy and prevent them from doing any thing real.

The slogan could be.

Fiddle with your member?
Stop this November

Good luck to all those trying to quit.

I tried many times but failed in the past. However, currently fag free for just over 6 weeks and feel so much better for it. Currently around £400 better off already

Yeah, there seems to be something like this every month. Certainly a November one, then Dryathlon in January etc.

For me, I always take the first half of October off. Broke up today and not back in work now until the 19th

So anyone who suggests Stoptober / Sobertober to me can SOD RIGHT OFF!

Get Champix from your doctor, keep smoking each day as normal but take the tablets each day too. After 10 days you'll never smoke again. Can't promote Champix enough. Wonder drug. No withdrawal symptoms either.

You first. If you last a day i'll join in.

Its those that decide not to drink for a month and make a massive deal out of it.

If you can't go a month without drinking you really need to re-evaluate your lives.

I'm not ever stopping for anything or anyone!

And don't forget about Decembeard

To OP - good luck, I quit smokes in July and went to vaping.
The only advice I'd offer is to invest in a good vaping set up. The £5 Tesco disposables and £15 pen style vapers are nowhere near as good as decent kit.
For me that made the difference between failing on vaping, and successfully quitting tobacco.
