well its been 24 hours

One day, 0 minutes and 0 seconds. 20 cigarettes not smoked, saving £4.50. Life saved: 1 hour, 40 minutes.

Mr.Manchester, respect mate, i gave up 7 days ago now and tbh it wasnt hard at all, but you seem to be doing very well, keep iit up and most important thing to remember is DON'T pick one up even if you get the urge or craving, its tempting but its sooooo much more satisfying 10 minutes later when you think "ive just helped myself give up by not smoking then, and if i had picked one up this torture would of been pointless" it gets easier, and you feel 100times better trust me

Go on the patch, it works really well. I promised myself a Cossie if I could give up, a few months later had me Cossie, and in about another year it will have paid for itself
