And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
Mrs Goth and Myself (Andy TG) Quit smoking (Again) today (Saturday 30th April)
I really did not want too but the cost to my Health and Pocket (£5.00 + for 20) is simply TOO High.
I would suggest Nicotine Patches for the first few months and avoiding situations where you would smoke. Also consider when you first smoke upon waking - and do/eat/drink something else - A cold glass of water will help.
The "Weight Gain" is to be expected - but should you eat more healthy food and drink more water the weight should fall off again.
I gave up for most of 2004 and did feel much better and had more "Disposable Income" and I know why I started again - it was "Saturday" nigths out with friends that got me smoking again.
Also if you smoke in front of your PC/Mac consider the damage you may be causing your Motherboard / PSU - that Tar build up can cause a short!
Best of luck Laz, the first 3 days/3 weeks/3 months are the worst - after that you wont even notice that you used to smoke.
One last thing - Red Wine tastes SO much better with a clean palate!

well it's been 1 week so far, and it's going easily
the first night was the worst, but after that (with the help of 2 packs of herbal fags over the first 3 days) it's been fine - no patches or other nicotine.
Good luck with your quitting Mr TG and obviously to Mrs TG as well.

I joined in last Sunday, Laz 
Giving up is one thing, but giving up the weekend of a first gig with a new band is a totally different matter
So, day 3 ended for me, with no apparent probs.
I have to admit, I'm quitting since the first HL do, so I'm not on a pack a day anymore, since nearly a year...
Hang in there, I'll try to hang onto your sleeve...

I had a big struggle long ago about losing weight. I and did. Takes a lot of will power.
I congratulate you for yours.
