I'll be honest I loved to smoke and if I knew I was one of these freaks who can smoke and hammer the fitness then I would still be doing it, although it does show will power on my behalf and better physical condition, so all worth while.

3 days so far and its driving me insane! cant stop coughing! doing my head in lol

Afternoon all, my first post here after reading all 30 pages of this thread :P

I am in the process of starting my application to join the army as , havent chosen a regiment yet but i am pretty sure i am looking to join Royal anglians (local regiment) .

Picked up loads of advice, i havent got any questions atm because i have spent alot of time reading what people have said.

But i thought i would add that giving up smoking is awsome. I gave up 7 days ago when i started my fitness regime and i am so happy for it. I havent had a craven since because its good to actually being able to breath again which is more addictive then smoking I have been able to run faster and longer for it

cheers all

I loved smoking, and on normal circumstance i would love to carry on, but now i know it is effecting my fitness so needs must ! But you wont regret it when you start to feel alive again and not coughing up crap every 20mins

I've semi given up. I can't help myself the minute I've got a beer in my hand and my fitness is getting better at the moment - so hopefully I'll be alright.
Best thing is I'm not smoking at work, and most week nights though.

thats what my biggest fear was, giving up smoking but assoon as i have a drink, i will be compelled to smoke.

so thats why i have given up the drink and fags and the same time

i know exactly what you mean, gimmie a beer and im the guiness world record holding in smoking rollies!! lol i dont think u HAVE to give up smoking to make the fitness levels but it'll certainly help :P

no you dont have to give up for your fitness levels but it helps with recovery time after CV training :D

when i was smoking, after i did a run. I had to squat and cough up all the flem that has made its way up. Now, none of this coughing at all, i can stop for 5mins after 15mile on the bike and go for a 20min run now instead of taking nearly 30mins out to recover.

I was the same, give me a pint and the game was up, so I did the unthinkable lol I have had 7 pints in the past 7 months, 1 a month. But now im fine but I haven't been pissed since january so I wont know until I have finished basic how it will affect me.

Just keep at it lads and look at the money you save.

thats the thing with me mate i dont really drink at all but have started recently in prep for basic!! no doubt the NAFFI bar will have some visits on a friday ;)

If I give up drinking can I take up smoking and still be fine?

Or you can not drink or smoke but do crack instead, you'l be fine

Your scottish and you want to give up drinking.................................. unlikely lol

I'll just have to make do with both then...
