    Don't go anywhere Adz, everyone needs the support :)

    How we all doing? I see there are plenty of new faces, welcome to you all and good luck :D

    Check out post #1 and the links that will give you some information on quitting and staying quit, whenever you feel a weakness coming on click on the link to Max Kirstens video and see what you will be doing to yourself if you decide to light up again.

    It takes a short while to get through the initial cravings but don't give in cos then you gotta do it all over again!

    Good luck to all, new and old :D
