    I could not believe it. I could not remember yesterday when I got to work how long I had been a non smoker. Had to check my first post on this thread to remember when I gave up.

    Really strange as I can remember the time and date when I stopped smoking back in:

    1987 15.15 Feb 19 (19 Months)

    1997 08.30 May 01 (6 Months)

    1999 23.59 Dec 31 (7 Months)

    2001 02.15 Jan 01 (4 Months)

    2002 09.00 Jun 14 (3 Months)

    2004 09.30 Feb 13 ( 7 months Accupunture)

    2005 04.15 Jan 01 ( 63 Days)

    Does this mean that If I cannot remmeber it does not mean as much to me as it used too?

    The smoking I mean?

    I think you are cured, mate!:T

    The magic 3 weeks passed by 16.5 hours ago and still on the wagon. Treated myself with the money saved, now going to throw it at debts instead.

    Thanks for eveyone's support.

    Hi Everyone,

    I shall only put social life on hold temporarily until I'm sure I won't go backwards (will I ever know I ask myself).

    Thrilled with everyone on here doing so well, I urge anyone reading to join in - there is never a "right time" to stop, so give it a go, you have nothing to lose!

    Merlin, I reckon you're onto a winner this time keep going!

    Y&R x

    This thread's gone a bit quiet, so I thought I would check in to see how my smoke-free (and wannabee smoke-free) buddies are doing....
