Hey Amy. You are an addict. I am an addict. No difference. Cold Turkey. NRT. Just different paths. One is no better than the other. Just a preference. What is common to all successful quits is the resolve.

nope

GB. I believe you absolutely. Addiction is an individual thing. Not a competition. I do not think it is easier to quit one a day or 100 a day. I believe that it has been proven to take 72 hours to rid the body of the physical desire to smoke - the mental desire however is the one that seems a little tricky to dislodge - regardless of the volumes involved. For me, the key to quitting, was unlocking the secret of why I smoked. Once I understood that and was honest about it - I quit. Why did you smoke?

Porky. Ouch. Bet he was a happy hound who brought you and Mrs B lots of laughs.

Certainly remember some down moments. Tears. Snappy. Grumpy. Realised it was just missing Bakon. :P It passes Tiff. Honest. You are doing great.

Hey Gypsy. Quit. or don't. To paraphrase Allen Carr. If addiction is a prison, you have the key. Just quit. You absolutely can.

Great work! Congratulations

Great work Evelyn. Fantastic stuff.

Hey Frez - I have one. Always up for a challenge. How do we connect?

Every single hard core serious long term smoker started as a casual short term smoker. That's kind of how it works. The nature of the addiction I suppose. The only proven consequence of smoking a cigarette is the creation of the desire to smoke another. There are people who, like you, manage to smoke only a little - but I have met many whom have told me that they only smoke a couple a day, while I observe them smoking their fifth. My wife could go days without smoking a cigarette, with no apparent ill effect. She quit about the same time as me. For a while - she would lament not being able to have "just the odd one". I asked - "If you can smoke one a week - then why don't you?" "Oh I couldn't go through those first couple of weeks of quitting again...." B)

You never work Porky. Nice update Ross! :D

No. He's Spartacus.

Number One We wear one glove 'cos it looks cool. Especially with Knickerbockers.

I'm Spartacus.

One minute, hour, day, week, month at a time. Don't scare yourself. Just deal with today. Before you know it, you have gone days without thinking about a cigarette

Woof.
