    Bored and tired, but smoke free today.

    I can't throw them away as my parents would see them and kill me.

    Now, I know this is just an excuse. ;) You can take them with you when you go out and dump them in a bin in the street. I know it's not easy though.

    I'd just like to say well done to everyone. :T My 76yo dad hasn't had a cigarette for 13 weeks and i'm very proud of him. He's smoked since he was a child (first fag at 8!!, regular smoking at 14) and if he can do it then anybody can.

    Thanks :)

    Walking out with 200 fags might be awkward though. :D
  • today is my one year anniversary of not smoking (after 20 a day for 15 years)
    im going shopping for a prize to award myself for something i thought i would never be able to do (nobody else thought i could do it either...except my OH, he needs an award too for encouraging and helping me through the really hard moments)

    if the giving up for good thing freaks you out (as it did me) just remember the mantra that got me through....
    I cant say my habit is gone forever, but i know i will NOT smoke today, and probably wont tomorrow either

    good luck to everyone else giving up, and staying strong vibes to those already trying

    xXx

    In a year I'll be 16 :eek:

    Hopefully a confident non-smoker by then.

    Let's just hope my mates don't start smoking (my best ones - some of my mates do already smoke but I don't go out with them.)

    PS. Well done curious george incase you don't look back on the last page :)
