Yes.... my week on the white beaches of northern Mozambique is only a memory now and I am back in reality.... Could paddle at least 10 km a day and caught few nice fish...

In the mean time I have reached my 9 months smoke free milestone and what a lovely 9 months it has been...No huffing and puffing....smelling and tasting good food and nature....Life is good !!!!

To all new quitters out there.....my advice: Know thy enemy...Know what is happening in your brain and you need to battle the emotions.... The physical part is hard but the almost unbearable part is the psychological battle... It is a chemical warfare.....Don't be afraid to supplement with herbal supplements that can be bought over the counter .....Remember nicotine is a very potent drug and our brains are altered to believe that it is only that cigarette that can make us happy.... we need to overcome this and make our own happiness... Stay strong and thank you for this forum and all the wonderful friends... Together we can beat this demon that ruled our lives for to long... Strongs....!!!!

Welcome back Hercu and glad you had a great well deserved break away...

Wow! 9 months! Amazing!

I am plodding along nicely, hitting 6 months on Thursday so you are back just in time for the pre-penthouse party!

Still trying to get used to the new forum, alot of new faces from last week and no smoking day on 09 March......

Thanks lizzy ...I am still a little bit lost on the new forum and yes... Sunshine is good...With the strong pound an African Holiday might be very affordable...For example my 7 Days cost me £400-00...you can save that by not smoking 40 packs of 20 ? (2 months???)..In Mozambique currency the cost is Mt 32 000-00
