[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1413878935' post='2582941'] I thought it was always a decent skill to have... [/quote] Of course it is.. and it's what started me on this rocky road all those years ago too. Don't think I would have played any instrument, if I hadn't been blessed with it.

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1410773781' post='2552837'] Like others, I just stopped. No cold turkey here though, apart from two or three occasions in the first week, there were no withdrawal symptoms. On those two or three occasions, I just did something else for a bit and the symptoms went away. What took a million times more willpower was reading the Allen Carr book to instil the frame of mind to stop smoking easily. [/quote] I guess stopping affects folks differently. You did very well coping with it. Just adds to the line of thought that stopping smoking IS achievable if you want to do it. I have loads of respect for peeps that have smoked over a long period of time and managed to kick it using whatever method. I know how difficult it can be.

Keep on the track buddy. Cold T for me over 5 years ago - one of the hardest things I did, but I know I'll never go back to smoking now. I join in with the others and wish you all the very best of luck with it - you'll also find your voice recovering in no time at all. Al

RIP John
