Salty pork - there you go again....stamping your big ol' boots over my posts! Shouldn't you be drinking beer or staying out the way of the wife or something?

No Bakon, you got a rubber inflatable banana tied to the back of the big boat for grown ups.

Ooh dry mouth. I remember that. Sometimes smoking would put my teeth on edge, like nails on a blackboard, and that was when it would give me dry mouth. And the feeling a bit of tobacco was caught in your throat. Despite the face the filter makes that impossible. I hated that feeling.

Welcome Pixel You've done the hard part. You've used the best tool possible. You've educated yourself and accepted the fact you are an addict and the effects nicotine has on your brain. I truly believe that to quit without that understanding makes it infinitely harder. I have a good feeling about your quit.....you're here to stay. Well done

Aw well done Jackie. I know what you mean about Social Media! I did exactly the same. Once I realised it was going to stick and I was 'all in' I finally decided to put it on FB because I was so unbelievably proud. I was actually surprised by the support I received. Now if I could only get to grips with dieting.....!

My mum quit over 30 years ago and she's always said she could still smoke easily but I think as Sirius says, it seems more the memory of craving. My Dad however, despite being quit 15 years I do believe could easily start again but then I watched him struggle for years to quit. I have even seen him smoke a cigarette a couple times since he officially quit though always only 1 when he's had a couple to drink and not for years now. Now on here, they may mean he would have to restart the count but either way, he remains a non smoker. I can't wait to be 15 years. Maybe then I won't even think of it!

Thank you Tracey! I have been gone for a while and I missed my own celebration so I wouldn't worry about missing mine!!

Does it ever go? Does it ever become very very easy? I am 18 maths nearly and I still have temptation and a few times I have seriously considered smoking. I didn't do it. But even that I thought about it upsets me. I've already gained the 'extra 10lbs' so if I smoked id just be an even fatter smoker and more miserable. So why consider it?
