Keep going Jakes, I just hit 6 months. The first four months were really bad but now I can hardly believe I EVER smoked!!!

Been 6 hours , I can go on like this !

Stopped around 18 months ago...

 

The thought of cigarettes disgust me. I can feel it in my lungs if I have been at a bar the night before a ride. Cant imagine what it would be like if I actually smoked.

 

 

 

Best thing I ever did was stop.

I work in the Rock n Roll industry, so smokes and booze are common place. Smoked plenty for years and loved it. My wife got pregnant and I stopped nigh on 3 years ago. Just like that. Not a puff since.

 

Then I realized what I had been missing most - my sense of smell

and you should see my climb a hill now!

23 September i was smoke free for 6 years. Got up on 23 September 2003 while riding to Durban from Pretoria with our bikes to do the Amashova in aid for children with HIV AIDS.

 

I just decided i had enouogh and that was it for me. It was hell for the first three months but it is a mind over matter situation, so just hang in there.

 

The first step is to make the desision that you want to stop and then the rest is easy.
