Hi Everyone , am quitting smoking after doing it for 16 years the last time. A good day was a packet, a bad day on the drink, well double that. I have some old patches and lozenges. What could go wrong? ok to my advantage Im off work so can hide myself away physically to get thru first bit.
ok its day 2.

every few weeks lungs play up, wanting to cough etc
saved heaps apparently, well I spent it back again so to speak by working less lol

Yea cool @TAB p9ne
Wish i could give up... i can't see any immediate and direct mental and physical benefits coming from quitting though... so i just keep on smoking and doing my thing ... it costs a fortune though aye...
+I can't bring myself to go through the merging process from one lifestyle to another... the changes and the unknowns seem to daunting...
