    Good onya mate......

    smoked many years myself, so know how it is,

    told my (then) wife one day,

    that was in 1999.........

    never looked back. ( 3 bikes, boat and convertable all bought from my ashtray account)
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    Maybe it was getting rid of the wife and not the smokes that saved you money.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Not wrong.....
    she is still smoking....
    and drinking......
    and not working...

    Life is good ....

    15 years of saving a pack a day for myself....? $50.000 at least
    getting rid of Mark 1....? Priceless

    Good on ya .. I gave up for two years (most I've every made) ... two months ago I started smoking - the job drive me crazy and it was stress relief ...

    I won't have the job after August 18 (no, I won't be unemployed - I'm just reverting back to my old job ...) and I plan to stop again on that day !!! (Here's hoping)

    Good luck with that ... I will be sharing your happiness ..

    Funny thing with the stress I found.

    Smoking doesn't seem to make any difference for me. When I'm not smoking (the couple decent time periods I've been off it) I don't get any more stressed than when I'm smoking. Possibly less, since I'm not looking for an opportunity to go have a fag.

    Started again this time after having put on 25kgs, no idea how I did it the time before that without turning into a fatty. After a week I could go hang with smokers at the pub and not be tempted.

    Don't worry about the gut, just carry it around in a wheelbarrow, take the load off those unequal length legs of yours! You'll be right.

    Exercise is it's own reward.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Although if you're a fat fucker, you get to go on the bottom during sex. I would hope.

    Good on ya Shaun. It can be hard to make the move, I have done it more times than I can count but have been off them for must be over three years now.
    Some people just can't abide someone else having a bit of pride in themselves eh.

    I reality you can't get to 7 years if you aint done 7 months, you can't get to 7 months without doing 7 weeks and can't do 7 weeks without 7 days.

    Well done
