  • I'm still here, 5 months and heading toward 6. I have saved not far short of £2000.00 which I have saved and also had 2 holidays to Ireland and Italy. Best thing I have done.
    yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift thats why its called the present ;)

    Reporting in to sadly say I smoked while I was on holiday, it was only a week of smoking and am back on the wagon again from today.

    Counter reset to 0 !!
  • Mat_lock glad you have got back on it. It is so hard this stopping smoking. I don't think of it as "giving up"

    I still find the hardest time is when I am having a drink !

    I was at a party last weekend, attended by over 100 people and not one person went outside for a ciggy which surprised me somewhat. It would appear more people have stopped than ever before.

    Keep at it, you will succeed

    Yeah I know, I kind of knew I was going to especially as when we arrived the sun was shining the cold beer was on tap. Was easier to smoke than to torture myself not doing so.

    I have put on a little weight but I haven't succumbed to a ciggy. :)

    I'm still off the wagon :( too many parties, festivals and what not going on. I've resubmitted a new quit date of 5th October. That's it again now. No relapsing after that date.
  • I had a great time in Spain and was sorely tempted as fags are still cheap but I resisted. 7 months now very happy.

    It's been a while since I have been on this thread due to relapsing a lot of times, however I am back and this is 3 months smoke free for me now!

    Feeling a lot better, and my confidence is extremely high as I know I can achieve anything now I have managed to stop smoking :)
