Good on you mate. I am trying to quit smoking but failing miserably.

Wow, well done mate. I'm 25 days sober and it's getting tough already. I hope you carry on breaking your own personal records ??.

Well done, Stone. Amazing mate, be proud.

Well done Stone ?
Proud of my fellow Liverpudlian supporter (irrespective of your views towards Slot ????)
I hope our current predicament doesn't raise your temptation levels
But on a serious note, thank you for sharing.
If you ever need some encouragement or just want some guidance, we are ALL here for you.

Red Riding Hood, quitting smoking is hard mate, no question about it. I used to smoke 60 a day sometimes more but one day, I just knew it was time to stop. And I did.
There are countless methods out there, but ultimately, it comes down to the mind. If you truly commit and focus, you can quit. Doubts make it difficult, but when I decided, I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I would succeed.
A few months later, out of nowhere, I felt the urge for a cig, wasn't having a bad day just randomly needed one. I took one drag and it was awful. That moment confirmed I was truly done. It's paradoxical, but that single, unpleasant experience became one of the best things I ever did. I knew I'd finally beat it.
Quitting isn't easy, but when your mind is ready, it becomes inevitable. Trust yourself - you can do this mate! You'll love being able to tell those that ask you for a light "sorry mate, I don't smoke" it's pretty rewarding, as is the extra cash you'll have and better health.
You'll learn to breathe properly again mate! I could go on and on about this but you're not failing - you're trying, that isn't failing. Sometimes we hit obstacles but it's upto you to say "no fk that, jump over that obstacle". Well done for trying, you'll do it!

MK, you're almost at the point where you miss it less and less. The temptation will always be there, but much more manageable. Keep it going. you won't be sorry.

Nice one stone. I'm doing dry January and I almost fell off the wagon after the game yesterday.

A massive congratulations Stone. RRH if I can give them up so can you brother ??.

Your approaching the month, or the divorce period mate, almost there, just find your self a packet of strong mints, or gum, whenever you feel the urge, they help, I had a hand sized ball, still have it to remind me, I used to squeeze the bejeezus out of it, here I am 14 years off the fags and virtually tea total.
