Hello people whose names I no longer recognise (except one or two), thought I'd duck in and let anyone who remembers me know, that I cleared the 100 days (107 today), never believed I'd make 100 seconds when I first started and now I'm living proof that anybody can give those stinky bloody things away.

So far I've saved over $2000 which I invested in membership of the gym, got a new TV and have just booked a cruise to Alaska, I feel so much better, less stressed, healthier, I can breathe......yeah I ate alot but it was so much more fun being able to actually taste it!!!

I'd like to thank the people who put this fantastic resource/support here for us all and to all of the people who were here when I was ...... winner, tiger, rocky. Kathyrose, RoseyK to name a few, I'm sure I've forgotten someone. I'd like to wish each and every visitor here the very best of luck........... Believe in yourselves you really can do it, use every single resource that you can find, arm yourselves well, still reckon a listen to Allen Carr is well worth it too, even if it's just from the perspective of working out how you ever justified smoking, totally pointless, unhealthy exercise, trust me you will see that at some point and then it should be plain sailing, don't hang onto something that you think you're getting from smoking, because you're not..... REALLY! Once you get over the 'I wanna kill someone' or 'I'll die without a smoke' stage you will see what I mean.

Six weeks......... get to that and you've cracked it I reckon, once you're through the last of the trickery, the only way you'll ever smoke again is if you make that decision consciously and it won't make you feel better at all, it'll just give you a reason to beat yourself up.

Good luck people and ........ May the force be with you! .... sorry couldn't resist that.

Hugs to all, stay strong and remember, if it's a choice between smoking and fingernails..... a fingernails lasts longer!!!!!!

Hi meanie - congratulations on your century! A big than you to you too for your support. I'm now at day 43. Been sick for the past 3 weeks and have put on 5kg since I quit but hey, the point is I quit! Again congrats. Hope to read more updates soon (always a good read) :-)

Meanie - first time I have logged on here in ages only to see your post - go you GOOD THING! And thank you for all your support and stories, if my rantings on here helped you I am glad because you sure as goodness (had to use a correct word)helped me, along with all the other fine folk you mentioned.

I am not sure what day I am on - just went and checked 136, woo hoo! I do know that on February 29 it will be 5 months. Which makes me almost at half a year, I like you would have never bloody believed it.

I will still continue to pop back here and scan the stories, but like you do not know the names anymore - but that's OK.

I wish I had done something with my saved $2,045 as opposed to eating it - but am now starting to lose the weight again. :)

Cheers, Meanie/Melanie - I still cannot get over Tiger calling you Melanie and your response about not being a chick! Still cracks me up to this day.

Bloody brilliant effort to you!

Over 100 days, wow Meanie, just fantastic. I don't log on much these days, but like to have a look around every now and then. I haven't done much with my savings except really enjoy eating a lot more. 5mths for me on the 19th! Never thought it would get easier but it is now. The best feeling ever. It's been worth the 'pain' so hope all the newbies on here keep going. Ciao
