Default QUIT SMOKING FOR 1 YEAR TODAY......



so gotta say a massive big up to me

never been so proud of myself,,

a year ago tommorow i was sitting at home with no money & no ciggies
id already ponced money & fags of my mum & sis,, so decided i wouldnt ponce no more,,

this was early week & i didnt get paid till the friday
but after a day with no fags i thought id see if could go 2 days,,,then 3,,,,then 4 ect

not even had a single puff since then,,,even when i was pissed

now its a fooking year,,,,get in

Well done mate!

I gave up a 30-a-day habit about 5 or 6 years ago. I put some weight on but i would rather be overweight than a smoker.

i quit for 3 yrs, then my car got smashed by a gate in the carpark so i started smoking again (as i quit in the 1st place to pay for the car) then i quit again for 8 months, then someone went in the back of my car and then i started again, then i stopped and now im just smoking at weekends when drinking now. beer and ciggy. mmmm, but still very bad for me.

well done to everyone who has stopped, its difficult and im still battling it
