Day 5

Hi Everyone,

So here comes the serial quitter - except I'm not as I never managed to fully quit. Longest time is 18 months and then madness descended and had that "just one". Thats all in the past however.

So after a few false starts - I'm now onto Day 5 - the first three days were hell on earth - so bad - I NEVER want to do that again. Its amazing how quickly you forget how bad they were!

I am feeling it this time - I have alot of reasons to give up - the normal ones - all listed below in my sig. There is also a purely selfish one - I have a burning desire to retire by the age of 50 - thats 17 years away - so if I don't smoke - then thats £57K saved.....thats quite a mountain of cash.

By no means am I looking too far ahead in terms of the quit - I am taking each day as it comes - but its a nice long term objective.

Anyways, enough rambling!

Over n Out!

Hi Chris

Hey,

I am on day 5 today and am also a serial quitter:confused:

This time feels very different for me though as I have not had a single really bad craving just a bit of a nagging sensation at times.

I am on the 21mg patches - are you using anything?

I love your ambition to retire at 50 - Wow - what do you do for a living?:o
