I admire your will power :up:....I've tried and failed on numerous occasions in the past. Three months is my best effort and to be totally honest I can't say anything in particular started me off again :doh:

I had a long record of failures as well. What seems to have finally done it was having a heart attack scare me off them long enough for the length of quit time to become a reason in itself for not succumbing to the temptation.

After all there's a lot more pride in saying it's been "6 months" or "a year" or now almost "2 years" since i last smoked than just "last week".

Now that really concerns me......about three years back I was involved with something work related that was extremely stressful and after the usual symptoms 'chest pain and tightness, combined with breathlesness' had the force doctor suspecting a possible heart attack. He gave me an ECG and sent me for blood tests and a chest x-ray.

Thankfully I got the all clear and it was put down to fatigue/stress.....but my fag intake actually increased. :oops:

I'm literally afraid to even have a single smoke at this point due to the pride I have in not having smoked for so long.

I don't usually preach to smokers about quitting but let me tell you jimbuna, medication is THE way to go. I used the patch and lozenges. Worked like a charm. :rock:

Back to Superbowl ticket costs, the terms "only" and "$1,800" should never be used in the same sentence.
