Five years off of the fAgs and yes first two weeks are difficult

Missus off fAgs too and the money we save covers the mortgage on our house in Spain

If you are strong enough to stop smoking you are strong enough not to spend the money on food

Spend it on something worthwhile and keep reaping this health benefits

Do I miss it after five years?    Only every minute of every day but hey I don't want to smoke so I don't

Gordon you need to read Allen Carr's "easy way to quit smoking" just as much as anyone who wants to stop smoking today! There is a chapter in the book that covers people who stop using will power alone. Some like yourself have stopped smoking for many years but suffer every day still wanting to smoke but using their very strong will power deny themselves a smoke but continue to want one, its a self imposed form of torture.

 I stopped smoking after reading this book. I was a smoker for 40 years started with the odd shared fAg at 10 years old and was a fully fledged smoker 1 year later. As it says in the book, I never thought for one second when I was having the first couple of puffs that this was going to keep me hooked for 40 years.

I cant explain the book you will have to read it yourself but it left me not wanting to smoke and you cannot crave something you do not want. I've been stopped two years now and don't miss them at all, no cravings at all. I admire your will power, when I tried to stop using only will power, like you all I could think about was smoking.

15 days for me today.im reading a bit of that allen carr book every day and its really helping.im off work so ive been swimming most days this week.

its madness to carry on smoking really.ask any smoker if they had their time again would they have started up smoking and the answer is ALWAYS NO!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

my missus smokes heavily and now i just look at her and think "poor misguided sick fool!"!! ;D ;D

YIPEEE!!IM A NON SMOKER!!! :D :D :D

i gave up at the start of this year, even though i was only a social smoker and my girlfriend also packed it in the same time.
 my dad stopped smoking in 1989 because he had a heart attack, hes now 73 and fit as a fiddle.
 he said to me that having that heart attack was, in a strange way, the best thing that happened to him, gave him up kick up the rear to sort his health out.

Are you sure you ain't Allen Carr, Daz????? You sure sound like him  ;D ;D ;D I must admit, having " a knock" on the book every day does help. Just to give you that common sense kick up the arse that we all need for the first month or so. Like i said i bought it for kindle which is on iphone so it's always on me and encouraging to read when i'm feeling a tad sorry for myself   ;)
