The decorators have been in and I don't really recognise the place - but that doesn't matter. Anywhere that supports people to quit is fine in my book.
Seven years ago today I smoked my last cigarette and I wouldn't have reached this rather nice milestone without the support, help, distraction and advice of all the lovely people on the forum.
Stay strong and keep choosing not to smoke - it really is one of the best decisions you will ever make.

Thanks for posting Deke, lovely to hear a success story.
Thanks for the lovely comments. It's a fantastic thought that others may be inspired to give up by my efforts.
I distinctly remember, when I had only gone a few days without smoking and was feeling that I was depriving myself of something that i thought I enjoyed, I saw posts of others who had been quit 5 or more years. They inspired me then.
The simplest, and best, phrase that I ever saw on this forum was:
"Choose not to light a cigarette. Keep repeating that choice."
It has worked for me - it can for you too.
Stay strong.
