Well done Q

Have known lots of people who've tried to quite and have failed dismally within the first few days, so fair play to you for have the determination and ability to make it work.

Thankfully it's not something I ever started.

Don't drink either.

In fact I'm a bit of a boring bastard!! :D

Next you'll be telling us you spend hours talking online about some stupid plastic toys you had as a kid and have even spent money buying some of them again!?

What a loser! :lol:

I don't drink either, and a fully paid up member of the boring bastard club also :lol:

I did drink though at one point, then one day decided I didn't want to any more.

As a result I haven't touched a drop in 25 years

Holy smokes (erm :? ), sounds like we all have monastic lifestyles, rejecting the follies of our younger day (bar the toy habit of course).

In process of cutting down coffee, eating better, then getting into better shape (time to dig out the BMX!), and never drank much anyway... but one thing at a time.

Like Savoury100 says, just stopped, never looked back. Not bothered in the least by others smoking, only stiffens my resolve. 8)

Had an excellent Chinese take-away last night, tasted marvellous!

Is it a sign of middle-age crisis to become health obsessed? Only worried now that a SWFUK camping get-together wouldn't be a booze-up, but some health and efficiency style volleyball weiner fest! :lol:

Again huge thanks for all the awesome kind words of support, must live longer to watch more new SW movies!

Though I didn't know at the time, it certainly meant I had money that I would have spent on drink saved for Star Wars toys!

Congrats. Gave up in 2004 myself when I hurt my ankle so badly i couldn't walk 100 yards to the shop to buy any.

My brother has just switched to E-Cig and finding he's already feeling, breathing and smelling better.

Strangely, I stopped drinking about the same time I stopped actively collecting.

:lol: Likewise! My good Ladywife would just smoke my cigs anyway! Staggering to think of the £300 a month (a month!) up in smoke.

Great result for The Mariners today mate, been a few times myself I sometimes go with a mate here in York who is Grimsby mad. He's from Cleethorpes, but apart from that he's alright! :wink:
