So far so good, since mid January anyway, yes there are still times I want "something" but resist (butt resist?).I had a valiant effort to drink beer a couple of weeks ago, it still tastes so strong as to be offputing,but I persevered and after 7/8 pints was quite wobbly(here enter thread on 40 degrees of being drunk)all in all I didn't enjoy it at all and I think I'll stick to my "schorle" (half wine half lemonade).I think I associate drinking beer with ciggies and when one went the other had to go too, never mind.

I find I'm drinking more water now, and enjoying it. I am slowly converting my wife and daughter to the idea of quitting, but I really do know how hard headed nicotine addicts can be.

Well done everybody,here's wishing you strength and perseverance.

cheers
