Sounds like SUCCESS!!!!!!

Brilliant stuff Hello, Squirreltufty, Merlin139 and BoatieBird!!! Reread the four messages above. They sound so POSITIVE!!! compared with previously in this thread.

I'm really delighted for you all.

Squirrel - you may not need this thread anymore, but others may need your support. Keep popping back

Squirrel don't leave us keep coming back.

Passed the 500 hours yesterday now looking to the next target of 1000 hours.

It will be 2 million seconds @ 2159 on Friday.

Sounds so good in seconds but a year is 31,536,000 so a long way to go.

after the day I've had, I would normally have reached for a fag (packet) or two, but no! don't need to!

join me in my smoke-free paradise!

there's something I really must do tonight, but it's boring and I'd rather be here or even doing starjumps:j (seriously, DOES anyone know if there is a personal trainer thread, or does anyone know how I can go about getting a personal trainer?)


(thanks for your kind words btw - it's very nice to needed - I thought everyone thought I was being holier than thou - can't think why!)


AND I am DELIGHTED that pps are doing so well!

Hello

In my job I am often away for nights, the first of which since stopping was last night. I booked a non smoking room and it occurred to me that I don't have to search for a smoking room no more - I am a non smoker!! Mind you, I think I prefer to not smoke in a smoking room than sleep in a damp smelling one! (Can't figure out how to put a sick smilie on from internet, but you get the idea!)

£40 in the kitty and 189 hours a non smoker. Recommended the book to one other smoker that I discussed giving up with but not told anyone at work or family yet.

Thanks for the support.

You mean you haven't told anyone you've stopped???

Tell them! And tell them how great it is.

Well done everyone else, too. This seems to be/have been a very successful thread

smoke free kisses to the laydees and firm non-nicotine stained handshakes to the chaps

No, it's the patronising thing I want to avoid, Mother and some colleagues are the worst. I think I may have given up sooner if it wasn't for the stubborn 'up yours' streak I have! I'm sure others won't even blink.

At present this is all mine, my achievement and my savings and I don't really want to share it with anyone who may jeopordise it. Soon enough I am going to be able to say 'well it obviously wasn't an issue for you because you didn't even notice!'

Maybe I will tell more people soon. I don't know. Hubby is still so supportive and lovely and is smoking outside, bless his cottons.

I just want to add my best wishes to everyone who is tring to pack in the weed. I smoked for over 30 years and I managed to pack it in almost 10 years ago. Good luck and shought anyone lapse just try again. You will stop one day.

Good luck to you all

I gave up 29 years ago and have saved in todays terms £79,875 (30 a day at £5 per pack - (although I dont know where its gone) A tip for anyone who it might help. I couldnt give up when I had no cigaretts in the house as I was worried I would need one - and I couldnt give up when I had cigarettes as I would 'just have one' until they were all gone - Therefore - the answer

I had about 4 left in the packl - sellotaped it up with half a role of sellotape and I could manage to talk myself out of it before I could get into the packet,
