18 months , I never liked spicy food, but enjoy it, and my sense of smell is very powerful. I always hate Rose wine, now really enjoying it. My weight is also almost back to normal , I can run up London’s longest escalators... trust me it’s not easy ... but well worth it . Stay strong but new clothes... drink wine . J

It passes so quickly, I do sometimes have an urge...but it lasts a second. The smell is so hideous now.....that the thought of inhaling that smoke is horrendous. I did find those videos on YouTube marvellous .....

And just think, this is what we all loved to do LOL but no more things to this wonderful group of people. I could have never quit without these people on here I know I am very new at this but I have very positive feelings about quitting just quitting for a few days was a miracle for me
