Well done!! I last smoked a cigarette in 1992 .... ''Treading your path'' with you ... :-)

Well done to you. It can't be easy. Never been a smoker but I think it must be really hard to stop. My addiction is chocolate.

I gave up on New Year so it 8 1/2 months for still fancy a ciggy now and then but have not give in. So keep it going it does get easier. Margaret x

Well Done TJ The longest I have is 8 weeks don't smoke as much as i used to but living with a chain smoker doesn't help at all. Keep it up Germaine x

The hours are creeping up and the breathlesness subsiding - increased steroids tho' - can't wait to be able to breathe without the dreaded steroids - but better to be alive than dead eh? That's how close I felt on sunday night / monday morn and why the WEEDS had to go. I'm still pleased i gave up tho' xxxxxxx

Sorry TJ but I do not know you, but want to congratulate you on you going 72 hours without the dreaded weed. Hubby has just looked at me and asked whilst I was typing ' why I had a smile on my face' So I told him, and he says 'Well done' Heres me still puffing away. I did actually go 8 months without one about three years ago, and failed, but still desparatley want to give up. I PROMISE TO GIVE UP ONE DAY. Wishing you all the the best on being a Non Smoker. Jenny xx

no patches - no gum - just will power !!!!!!!!

Very, very well done, keep up the good work. congratulations.

Well done TJ, Baz you are never 'cured' Nic o tine is just waiting for a slip up James

Caz You should be proud of yourself, I havent touched one and I wouldnt the smell drives me crazy, you can smell them for miles off! Debs x

Hello Angie, Think I might have to look for a non smoker LOL Baz

Ditto again Baz Hubby still smokes - only about 6 or 7 a day, but he used to go on at me (15-20 I smoked). Does stink, doesn't it??!! Angela

TJ I am so impressed! Well done, Cazxxxx

I do have problems though,,,,,,,, my wife smokes,,,,,,,,but it's got to the point that her smoke now smells real nasty, so I suppose I must be nearly cured eh. Baz

VERY WELL DONE--KEEP IT UPxxx

Baz ditto - I last had a cigarette on 6th Feb. Haven't used patches or anything. As you said, just willpower & determination. The longer you go, the more the determination kicks in. I still sometimes fancy one, but it's not a huge craving. Best of luck TJ, you can do it! Angela

Hi Debs good to see you still aren't smoking either. I still miss the odd one, but haven't succumbed at all. So proud of myself !!

TJ Well done you, 24 weeks on Sat for me, or 5 and a half months and dont even think about them now. Keep up the good work. Debs x

On the 16th September, it will be 7 months without a smoke. After 45 years of smoking, I decided enough was enough, so gave up there and then, no patches, no chewing gum, just will power, good eh LOL Baz

Well done TJ. Keep it up. I gave up over 5 months ago now, the support you get from the peeps on this site is brilliant. Keep updating us.
