Nearly there
Some of you may remember that 1 January this year I quit smoking after 40 years of non stop min a pack a day puffing away.
It’s now 2 November and have not touched a single sigaret this entire time. Not one, not even a puff.
It’s not been easy, at times difficult but with the strong support of a.o. this forum, I’ve managed to pull thru.
Just wanted to keep you up to speed and I’m pretty hopeful that January 1 2020 I can proudly say to have been one full year without smoking.
Thanks for all your encouraging messages and support

8 years for me
And I still sometimes get the urge for one. They are expensive ! They are bad for you ! So great work
Congratulations, Jurry!
The way I see it is: choose your vices carefully, and enjoy them to the fullest! Quitting smoking means you can devote yourself more to collecting watches. The way to go! With deep respect, Daniel

A true addict can overcome any price level haha. It wasn’t the costs that made me stop but all of a sudden I realized I was going to turn 60 in 2019 And I just didn’t want to be a bad smelling grey skinned looking old guy or grandpa (not that I was grandd...
Well done!
Great motivation to quit for sure! I stopped smoking about 8 years ago! No cravings at all now so hang in there and you will come through 👏👏
Bravo 👏 it is quite an important achievement
I quit The 5th of July 2010 after 20 years of smoking about the same as you + cigars + pipe. I only have one regret and that is that I ever let myself get addicted to this pointless and destructive habit. In hindsight I would have missed NOTHING by not sm...
Congratulations! I quite 20 years ago , after smoking since I was 6 years old !
By 10 I was at a pack a day ... I grew up in the rough neighborhoods of Romania where at the time this was a norm . It was one of my best decisions ever ! Keep it up your over the hard part 👍
You should be very proud of yourself for your accomplishment. It’s not an easy thing to do.
Sadly, I have seen the negative impact that smoking/tobacco has had on the health of many patients. If only we can turn back the clock but that’s impossible. Stay well and continue. Tony
Now that’s a whole different subject
Quit drinking? Why on earth would anyone quit drinking? Only joking, personally we drink very little. Occasional pint after golf, glass of wine during weekend dinner or champagne when flying Emirates Airlines Many people across the world belief that you c...
Medical reason. Gout every so often . . .
. . . is a price I was willing to pay for years. When it became gout for days on end every time I popped a cold one . . . it just wasn't worth the cost. ;-)
You can be very proud of yourself for quiting this hazard !! Fantastic acchievement and adding 5 - 10 more years to your life to spend on watches ;-))) and you smell so much better too !
I am going on 10 years now of clean air and it`s a bless !
Thank you my friend
I’ve been thinking about it how come still so many people are smoking. Old hats with 2 packs a day for 40 years may be lost cause (some exceptions like me) but how come this whole tobacco industry is still around. Politics was my conclusion. Smoking is he...
A huge congrats Jurry
I stop 15 years ago after smokeing 2,5 pack each day for 28 years and I have never look back. My wife stops one and a half year ago and we are both successfull non smokers today. I really hope it will works for you too and I will think of you on New Year ...
Much appreciated my friend.
I guess from our generation smoking was something your parents did all the time and everywhere. I remember when we had a very small Vauxhall, my sister and I in the backseat, mom and dad upfront and puffing one after the other. It was misty but inside the...
