There's a lot of new faces here now, which is awesome becuase that many more people are willing to quit. It's not easy, as some of you may remember i have been around here before, i fell off the wagon just under a year ago but this time next week i turn 23, and i want to be able to say that is started my 23rd year on this earth as a non smoker.
And i intend to keep it that way!
Good luck to all of you in Day 1, i'll be joining you all in Day 2 before you know it! hang in there guys

Ello mate, and welcome back. I'll be one of them new faces then
You're in the same boat as me pretty much, started my quit yesterday, and 23 years old too. Did you get to the bottom of why you fell off the wagon last time? If you can figure it out then you should be able to avoid it this time around. Remember the 6 Ps: Perfect Planning Prevents P!ss Poor Performance. Good luck, stay strong!
Chuddy i laughed out loud at the six P's thanks mate! I really don't know why i lapsed last time, i just grew weak and gave in, but the fact that i was weak annoyed me and makes me determined to kick it this time, all the old familiar symptoms are back but i'm not worried about them this time, i laugh at them because they are all vain attempts by the vile creature that is nicotene to hang on to my mental anguish, but it's slipping and it's grip is failing i can feel it =)
And it feels so good! Congrats on getting to Day 2! I'll be joining you there a day behind tomorrow and i'm going to check the Day 3 board and i hope to see you in there mate!
80,000 cigarettes in just 11 years... that is shocking! On a 20 a day habit too, some people smoke(d) 60 plus... insane! If someone told you that you'd smoke 80,000 in just over a decade, you'd think it was absurd... but do the maths... crazy! And then figure out the cost of those 80,000...crazier!
It's facts like that which make me feel so f-cking stupid about smoking in the first place. Having a sly smoke when you're a teenager as a rite of passage is understandable, peer pressure and all that, but allowing experimentation to develop into a habit... if only we knew back then what we know now!
