Hi Rob,
Welcome to this incredible and brilliant website. The amount of support here and layers and layers of material to go through is amazing. I smoked for 30 years, "quit" loads of times using patches or gum and always fell off the wagon because I wasn't dealing with the addiction, only the habit. I quit 4 weeks and 6 days ago. After 3 weeks I just felt euphoric, 99% of withdrawal symptoms gone, and the 1% left so easy to deal with. The folk running this website are saints, saving lives everyday for no financial gain. I'm not religious either, but if there is a heaven, these people deserve to get there! By the way, is that little one really biting that poor cat's head in your avatar? Its a great pic!
