Well today is the final smoking day, although so far, I havent even had one today, so may not even bother, and as am not planning on getting drunk later I wont have that association, maybe today will be the 1st day of not smoking after all? Will see what happens, no pressure! haha!

Good luck everyone, together we can do it!

Count me in chaps.

Was on the first plane to touch down in Heathrow in 2009 (at 04.30am this morning) and threw away my remaining cigarettes in Hong Kong airport last night, so planning on going nicotine free.

Feeling uptight and stressed already, and I know it's nicotine telling my brain to light up.

I want to get fit this year, and smoking to me is more than lighting up. It is a mindset that inhibits the natural athlete within me.

Wish me luck.

Anything in particular I should read to help me??

My youngest son was born Oct 15 08 almost exactly a year to the day since I quit and im proud to say he hasnt been exposed to any of the ciggie nasties :j

Best of luck you guys, you can do it

Congrats mum of 3 (4!! Well done by the way!), thanks for coming back and letting us know you're still quit and whatever you went through to get there, it's all worth it

Graeme, good luck with your quit, how you doing so far? Read post 1 for some ideas, I'm sure Sue will be PM'ing you as soon as she knows you're interested in quitting with loads of tips and advice. Stick around and get some nicotene-free vibes

Happy new year to everyone, I hope you achieve all you want to in 2009.

Well I made it through to the new year - and even managed to have one drink (not my usual so made it a lot easier) without thinking I have to put a cig in one hand and the glass in another.

:hello: Graeme - good luck - if i can do it after all my many many many failed attempts over the last 11 years (about one a year) then anyone can. Best wishes

Happy New Year all!

Let's hope you all have as much success in the new year as you have had so far!
