    I had my last ciggie at about 11.59pm on friday 28th March. So smokefree as of 29th March?
    Am guessing that it's midnight tonight that I can celebrate a month? (though I will be fast asleep :D)

    Cheers YM .. it does/will feel like a big accomplishment .. didn't really think i'd get this far with, relatively, little stress, there have definitely been very bad days but overall it's been a lot better than last time!

    Happy anniversary YM and congratulations to all current quitters!!

    I reached my 10 month milestone on Friday (£1,309!!) - can't quite believe it ... still get the odd craving but nothing to hard to handle.

    This site is an inspiration perhaps we should do a count up of how many people have actually quit using it - Jo what do you think??

    Happy smoke free days all.
    love and hugs
