Re: not smoking

 It's when you stop counting that you know you've really quit. Well done, and stick with it...

Re: not smoking

Stop smoking is so easy!  I did it 6 times last year without any problem Zip it!

Re: not smoking

I haven't had a cigarette since the first week of February.

All the money I saved has gone on booze and loose women.

And anger management.

I don't own a Pathos Logos.

The end.

Re: not smoking

A year and six months for me.

If anyone wants to know, I read Easyway to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. Brilliant book. Much better than gum or patches.

Re: not smoking

Read the same book and found it a complete waste of time. I still quit, but didn't need some patronising guy telling me to just think "Oh I stopped smoking, isn't that great" 50,000 different ways to help me!! Oh and he's wrong as well, 4 months on and I still want a cigarette every time I have a beer!

Agree with his advice on not using patches and gum though. How can feeding your addiction to nicotine possibly help you give up your addiction to nicotine?!
