    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    Am stopping smoking. Now today. Sick of it. Hate it. The guilt, the smell, the money. No more.
    Life too short to waste it puffing away in the wind and rain.
    Sassy Sunday is here.

  • Thats terrific. Well done DF. Tell you what, I could support you not with smoking because I dont, but I want to give up eating chocolate unnecessarily, and put the money I save into a pot towards a debt. I kniw when Im eating it, it's not because Im hungry, I feel guilty afterwards, and I know it should be a piece of fruit instead! Goodluck, and stay positive you can do it. So, will I!!!

    Good Luck with giving up DC, I know how hard it is but it is worth it. Have you been on the stop smoking thread on the main DFW board, they are a big help xxx

  • Yes PAF it's the little things that make the big things.
    I'm big on chocolate but given the choice I would have picked a cigarette over a toblerone, what a sad admission...
    Let's do it !
