Hi again everyone, so last year was a stop start stop start year, went on holiday had the in-laws with me totally caved & smoked from Oct- Dec, stopped start of December, then was so stressed in run up to Christmas had a couple on Xmas eve. Not smoked since then, but now coming up to 5/6 week Mark when I do start to find it hard, chewing gum like there's no tomorrow, but don't want to cave in even though psychologically my brain is telling me I will, but proud to say I haven't smoked this year x
