            I hope she is OK too.. Giving up is really hard to do so perhaps she is keeping herself busy so her hands are occupied.. ;) Thinking of you Mum...

                    Its almost exactly a year since I quit. Apart from the downside of being able to smell absolutely everything (I complain about smells that my never-been-a-smoker relatives can't smell), its ace. I'm actually getting younger with each passing day:)

                    Well done Al, and good luck to everyone else on this tough but rewarding journey. All you need to do now is work out how you're going to use up all the extra energy you'll have. I used some of mine to act like a teenager again, dance like a loony, and even climb trees.
