Thanks!!! 10 days is a great start!! Have to say despite a few tense moments I do feel better for it.
Very well done though on the 10 days.

I saw!! That is sure a real reason to wanna quit!! Never again is my hope
Cheers mate... One bit advice, if you get a serious urge and it won't go away, get busy doing something/anything to take your mind off of the serious craving... It will go away and the craving times get shorter and shorter over time, trust me.

Thanks for the advice. Will take heed. I guess a lot of the addiction is in the head so will need to keep busy at the worst times. Watching ppl lighting up is a bit tough though but hopefully in time that will change
Watching ppl light up is the best bit for me! I can then see how stupid, smoking really is in a strange sort of way! Especially when it's pissing down and I'm in the dry!
Pm me anytime if you're struggling but want to succeed mate. I won't give in to the cravings and if I can help support you through it then I am willing to help if you need it.

Thanks Muzzy!! Will do!
I am pretty determined to do it too. Just need the wine and cig combo to disappear sometime soon. Thanks for the support
Always remember you are a drug addict if you continue to smoke. People also say it's a hard habit to break but i love Allen Carr's response to that in his book.
We break habits all the time. When we go to America for instance and drive we automatically have to break a habit to drive on the right.
When we buy a new car sometimes the indicator is on the other side of the steering wheel. Once you get use to it it becomes second nature.
The book is well worth a read. In 10 days time i will be 4 months smoke free.

Hi mate... 3 weeks today and still going strong. I'm away camping with the family at present which is a bit challenging due to too much sitting around! But I will succeed, cheers.

I have given up for 2 and a half years but had a serious weak moment on Friday when I was at a do where I'd had a bit to drink and was SEVERELY tested with the offer of a cigarillo. Just one puff is a potentially slippery slope. I have given up for over a year three times before and slipped back by the "just one is OK" attitude"...it isn't.
Once a smoker even when you give up you are only one cigarette from becoming a smoker again, however long you have given up for.
