Hello, this is now my 17th day smoke free Had to stop as I had a health scare whilst on holiday in America and was hospitalised for three days.......really frightened me.
So, I am checking this great site out daily and love the support by everyone who is also in the same position as me.
It is early days yet and getting through some of the days has been a challenge but I am determined to kick this habit once and for all.

Hello Tubby54, thank you so much for your message. Indeed this was a wake up call for me.
I am a life long smoker and have tried to stop before, but this time I am determined; I cannot go through that again and more importantly, cannot put my family through the pain and worry. My quit day was 15th October and am doing reasonably well so far.
