I've gone three days without a cigarette, so I can officially say I have given up! :D

It feels good, although my throat does not. :)

Well done Raver, :D its a great feeling kicking the habit. The day I got my first panic attack (middle of August), was the day I stopped. The money saved is paying for my counselling!

You'll be fine :). In my experince the lines to get OUT of the club into the smoking part are so long I can't even be bothered to wait so I just dance instead! xx

Ha, I tend to smoke about 40 fags on a night out drinking. Usually 10 a day when sober. ;D

LOL wow! Though I can't really talk I could easily smoke 20+ when I'm drunk especially in Summer when your sat in the beer gardens with no restrictions! If theres a non smoker when your out tomorrow stick with him/her, be easier not to smoke x

ALL of my friends smoke. It's really hard to not smoke when I'm with them.

That does make it difficult. Luckily for me, my other half gave up with me, the first month was the toughest but after that, became easier. We had a plastic cigarette each, only costs a couple of quid from the chemist, nothing in it, just tastes a bit mentholy, it really helped for that first month when we didn't know what to do with our hands!

Well done!

I stopped in May this year when I had health issues and my anxiety started. Best thing I ever did for my health! I also lost a beloved relative to lung cancer and that gave me a wake up call.

I miss smoking some days but I won't start again, there is no single good reason to do it.

Keep it up, you can do it!

Well done! Like heavenly, I stopped when my anxiety started in May last year. Keep it up - tell yourself every morning you won't smoke that day.
