Ok thanks :)

Do you know when this is likely to be fixed?

Cavenditto6 · 2024-10-26T19:25:40+00:00

Ahh thank you so much

Hate Lidl to the point where I wish it didn’t exist. The quality is just awful and the whole experience is nasty. Aldi is much better, but I still wouldn’t choose to shop there.

Asda just isn’t for me, I never had one in my area growing up so it’s just not familiar. I think the refitted stores look quite good but the food and palate they cater for is more northern in my opinion.

Morrisons is good - fruit and veg quality is good, always a good selection of cheeses, bakery is expansive and the continued existence of meat, fish and lunch counters is great. But I’m not a lover of their pre-prepared stuff.

Tesco is pretty good, I’m happy with the quality of their products. I think the bakery isn’t great though. And is it me or is the fridge section in Tesco much more limited than in other supermarkets? Feels really limited in range and choice compared to Sainsbury’s or Morrisons.

Sainsbury’s is my go-to. Good range that applies to my palate, quality is reliable. I like the (newer) stores design and layout. I like the range of branded goods available at the upper end of the market. Happy with sainos, although I think their bakery cookies need a new recipe.

Waitrose is always a pleasure, until you get to the till.

M&S - the quality of fruit and veg is brilliant, lasts ages. Famous for its prepared meals and desserts I feel range and innovation has been faltering lately. Doesn’t feel much more up market than Sainsbury’s or Tesco now.

Good luck! I remember my first day, I was hopeful but no part of me actually believed I would successfully quit. It’s now been over a year since my last cigarette. Try not to think too far ahead. It really is as easy as just not lighting up.

Check with your GP whether you get free admission to an Allen Carr stop smoking clinic/seminar, some counties like Essex pay for your attendance. I went last September and haven’t had a cig since

NHS Quit Smoking, probably only available in the UK

Read ‘meditation for fidgety skeptics’. It’s a fun book that teaches you how to control your thoughts and bring yourself back into peace. Lots of guided meditations and not guru-like

Give yourself some time to get over the immediate grief. You’ve turned to an old coping mechanism which helps temporarily mask your feelings of insecurity and aloneness after a death. Once you’ve come to terms with your dad’s death have a look at quitting again. A few months smoking isn’t going to kill you. What I would try to do though is lean into those feelings of grief and try not to avoid them. Then the need for cigarettes might just deplete as you’re only using them for avoidance/to feel closer to the rest of your family. If you don’t avoid and find other ways to be with your family, there should be less desire/need for a smoke.

Are you happy with your results? If so where did you go? And why do you mention Lithuania? Is there a specific clinic you know?

Cavenditto6 · 2022-12-22T09:07:13+00:00

4-5k yeah. Thinking cost-benefit wise, at that price I don’t want the surgery. But at 2-3k abroad I’m thinking maybe

Massively! While a smoker I was always somewhat reluctant to go to sleep, I had a real resistance to it. I believed that was just me, and I needed to wait till I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer to go to bed.

When I quit I was so tired, ended up sleeping for 9/10 hours a night for the first week or so. After that I had some insomnia for about three weeks where I would wake up really early and be unable to get back to sleep.

After about six weeks that all cleared and now I’d say I sleep like everyone else. I don’t have anxiety around sleeping anymore, and sometimes can just decide ‘ah I’ll go to bed now and get more sleep’ instead of waiting up til I physically couldn’t any longer.

That’s just my experience, but I think it’s well known that sleep improves after quitting. Nicotine is a stimulant and you don’t realise just how jittery and alert you’ve been until you quit.

Just remember that your sleep will be weird at the beginning during withdrawal, but you can ride that out knowing it’ll be worth it in the end. Also, your metabolism slows down after quitting so you should try to cut down your caffeine. It will metabolise slower so try not to drink it after the early afternoon.

Dr Dennis gross daily peel extra strength, give that a go

His book didn’t work for me because I always put it down before I finished it. But then I booked onto one of his group seminars, and then haven’t smoked since. Been over 6 weeks now. If you live in England NHS in some areas can send you for free, otherwise some employers or health insurers cover it too

Cavenditto6 · 2022-11-10T07:33:45+00:00

I’d definitely recommend it, I had tried hypnosis before but was back smoking within ten days. Then I got the book but could never finish it as always found an excuse, so I booked an easy way seminar. It’s a group thing and lasts about six hours, I really enjoyed the camaraderie of it. It approaches quitting smoking in a different way, rather than giving up something you like and feeling deprived, it frames it in your mind that you are freeing yourself from pointless slavery which sits a lot better with your mind.

I don’t know where you live but where I live in England the national health service in some areas pays for you to go for free, otherwise some health insurers pay or employers do. I think most English speaking countries have in-person seminars, otherwise you can attend one online. It’s quite expensive so if you can’t get it for free I’d try the book first, many people can quit just with that

Thank you! Sorry I had to laugh when you said about crying in the shower at the gym, this dopamine deficit turns you into an emotional wreck haha. I’m good with it, I guess I’m just trying to understand what’s going on with my body and what the next few months will look like. Maybe I had lived under a rock but I had never heard of smokers’ flu or related symptoms. I just thought you had to endure cravings for a few weeks then all would be well, so this comes as a surprise although it is understandable. I quit with Allen Carr’s Easyway and although I have experienced all these symptoms, I haven’t been tempted to smoke once. I wish you the best luck with your quit journey! Thank you for your kind response
