My name is Tom, i'm from Exmoor, U.K, I'm 24 and have been smoking since i was about 16. Recently realized how much of a hindrance smoking has been and finally decided to quit last 9 days ago. I have tried before but this time I've developed the understanding and will power to finally beat it.
Ive also started getting fit, and bulking up ready to attack life as a fit young man
Last few days have been hard and my business partner smokes so the temptation has been there but I will not give in!
I have been reading this forum for weeks now silently and although I cannot think of anyone specific to thank, it has been a great help so thank you regardless!
I hope to provide some support for others going through the same experiences in the future!
Best,
Tom

Don't think I would of still quit if it wasn't for the support of some of the amazing people on this forum. The best place to be when ur flagging or something isn't sitting right with ur quit.
