Hello everyone I`m Wayne

I have been sitting on the sidelines for a little while and have decided to introduce myself I had my last smoke on the 29th dec 2008 first time smoke free for nearly 40 years, Sad to say I started young.

Hello everyone I`m Wayne

I have been sitting on the sidelines for a little while and have decided to introduce myself I had my last smoke on the 29th dec 2008 first time smoke free for nearly 40 years, Sad to say I started young.

Hi Wayne

Welcome - you have come to the right place for plenty of support, advice and fun.

How young is young. I started when I was 15, wanted to be like my friends (doh - how stoopid is that). Have stopped now and again over the years but never as seriously as last year. As you will see I have had a couple of gos at it but hopefully this will be the one.

Feel free to rant and rave on here whenever you feel like it. There will always be someone who is going or has gone through the same feelings at one time or another.

All the best with your quit Wayne.

I was ten and in a care home had to like the others. Isn`t peer pressure great?

Hi Wayne,

Welcome to the forum. Well done on deciding to quit - it doesn't matter how long you have smoked for, the sooner you give them up the better!

It is great on here - I have got to day 19 relatively painlessly because of the support on here. Read as much as you can on here about your addiction, the more you learn about it and understand it, the better your chance of beating it.

Good luck and post often!

Brilliant Wayne keep it up. Logging in to this really helps. I'm off out tonight, gathering strength and have put lots of lozenges in my bag and chewing gum as i know most of them are smokers. But i am determined i will stay inside in the warm when they freeze outside.

Wayne, will happily buy you a pint on 5 January 2010 in celebration, I particularly like London Pride, although Cornish Tribute is rather nice at present
