I to gave up for 6 months about 7 years ago, but don't think it was the right time as i was dealing with a lot of grief in my life, It was just down to having that 1 cigarette, i regretted it like you, That is one of the things that i think of when i feel i want one, and of course the money i am saving,

Take Care and well done for trying again XX

Hi Shirlthegirl

Well done for stopping smoking.

My son has just given up and he cannot belive how much money he has now.

My daughter is trying to give up but she is struggling just now, she has just bought the electic cigs and they look so real.

Oh Shirl i really take my hat off to you and feel so humbled and useless that i still havnt set a date to pack in boohoo!!

I do intend to set a date eventually but im flaring in both shoulders, now both wrists as well as foot and right leg joint!

Hubby goes away to ghana week monday and im determined when he comes home 4 weeks later i will have given up the dreaded weed!!

Just need to ge my pain sorted first.

Well done you, you should be so very proud.

Xxxxxx
