Well done and good for you. There's nothing but clear water and days on the river bank ahead. Keep it going.

Keep at it mate, and be careful when you have given up (I've not smoked for 30 yrs, and I used to chain smoke) I still find after all this time, at a party or at a pub I still get the urge. Stay strong it's hard to start with but trust me your past the worst.

I stopped about 20 years ago, I decided on a day and stopped, I had been smoking for around 15 years, it was difficult and I found it really hard when I had alcohol, so I gave that up for a while, same as Ken, every now and again I still get a craving, but it’s gone in seconds.

just don’t substitute cigs for food, I put loads of weight on and have never been able to shift it.

Good luck, it does get easier.

TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF YOUR NEW YOU.... never give up....

Great news Ralph, I quit years ago and have many friends who have quit in more recent times. If my muppet mates and I the chimp can do it, you're going to be fine. One day at a time, keep busy.

Keep it going Ralph! We aren't going anywhere before you are casting that new rod out into the waters and waiting for the big one to bite. What are you using for a reel Sir??? I used to love Garcia Mitchell reels myself for spin casting. Don't forget, fish are greedy and love big lures. In fact, bigger lures were always better!!!

Ralph,
OK you've gone 5 days, the important days are the 105th day, the 205th day and so on. Once the 'novelty' of not smoking has worn off, the real difficulty starts - maintaining that determination to never smoke again. It's a drug addiction, just as much as heroin, or crack cocaine. As so many people say, you can go for years, then suddenly get that craving, you have to hold your resolve
You Will Win
Dave
