Just curious, how's Mike faring with his Virtualboy and his non-smoking? It's been nearly two months now, has he gone blind?

It'll be three weeks on Saturday for me, I feel a lot fitter already, but I'm as ratty as a really big rat (from quitting smoking, not playing Virtualboy, obviously).

Cold turkey needs pickled beetroot and mayonnaise.

He might tell us when he gets back from holiday. Then again...

Anyone got a spare tab?

I'm doing OK thanks. Still long for a tab sometimes and it's horribly tempting at the pub, but soon that problem will be gone! On the upside it seems to have made me better at pool and snooker...

I seem to be drinking more when i drink, though I think i'm okay for not eating more. I got my mountain bike out (and there are some pretty big mountains behind my house) so i'm usually too tired to walk to the fridge.

I've been exercising quite hard as well, mainly swimming as living in a town centre in the middle of Suffolk does not give to much alternative. I've also noticed that I've needed to take vitamin supplements though that could just be related to my poor diet (it's not that bad honestly)

Here we are, another month passed, and i actually feel quite good physically and mentally.
I still miss it, and i refer to myself as an occasional smoker because i'd hate to be pigeon-holed with the rabid anti-smokers.

Just out of interest, what do people think of the EU's latest proposition regarding smoking? For thse who don't know it will stop smoking in Parks (OK there's kids there I can appreciate that one a little) walking down the street, outside the office. In fact it will ban smoking everywhere but at home.

And another question out of interest, how many of you have kids that smoke, but will find themselves unable to in October? I ID'd someone recently, and upon checking the date of his ID found that he wasn't old enough, and won't be until October, by which time he will be too young again!

EDIT: I failed in my attempt to give up, it wasn't chemical cravings that beat me, it was a realization that I actually quite enjoy smoking, especially the time that Rolling gives me to think. I am proud to smoke, because it means I am doing something that I enjoy, rather than trying to repress the part of me that just wants to sit back and enjoy a nice smoke.
