Just finished the second book about the street cat in London called Bob, if your an animal lover this is a must read, its about a recovering heroin addict who lives on the streets and a ginger tom called "Bob" its an amazing story of overcoming addiction, changing your life and the amazing connection between human and their pet. The first book is called A Street cat called Bob. I cried, laughed, understood, wanted to make a difference, got annoyed on their behalf and thoroughly enjoyed reading Jame's and Bob's journey. Also watched a film the other night, Pain and Gain! Mark Wahlberg and The Rock, fantastic film could not believe it was real LOL

Happy Burpday cat litter in the post and Panties wot panties :o meooowww

So glad to see your back here, that is the one big difference between you and all your fellow friends at college, you want to stop, just keep following it through, you have had some fantastic support and advice from everyone above me, change your routine over the next few days or weeks, so you are not in contact with smokers, I did the same and it is so worth it, chewing gum, mints, hard sweets whenever you feel a crave coming start chewing, concentrate on why you want to stop, the smell, the cost, YOUR LONGTERM HEALTH, I read an article yesterday if you stop smoking before you hit 40 you gain 9 years!! 9 years and more, WOW In the beginning I repeated NOPE over and over again, it helped, come here as often as you can, post often too keep us uptodate on how you are doing, we are all here supporting you and we know you can do this
