i know manda, when i drink it might be tough so im avoiding the pub as well, which is actually harder than not smoking! its only been since midnight on sunday but it's longer than i ever managed before so i'm quite chuffed. x

Hi Paul Well done!!! I stopped smoking about an hour before you on Sunday. It's not easy and my jaw aches from chewing gum, lol. Stick with it, it will be nice to have someone else around who knows what its like:-))

Hi Paul Well done you.!! Am hoping to do the same soon. I think I know which book you mean prob the one I'm reading now. If so patches and substitutes are not reccomended so don't if you haven't already. I am going to try without As Baz that said and the book, if I'm right we have to think of it as not giving up but being non smokers as soon as we put that last one out. Good luck Lynda x I still have yet to take it on board!!!!
