    I have stopped smoking (and started again) more times than Phil Taylor has hit the bullseye!!! However, I was given some great advice by one of my umpteen quit buddy's (obviously preferring to share my misery with which ever unsuspecting soul I can talk in to quitting with me...) so share my knowledge I will:- Freeze some grapes and when you have a killer craving go to the freezer and pop a frozen grape in your mouth...by the time it melts enough to eat it your craving will have passed...Unfortunately I started EVERY TIME because free will and freedom of choice are particular downfalls of mine...lol Will be joining you on the non smoking train 2 weeks tomorrow (for the nth and hopefully LAST time...lol) Good Luck Sir - keep up the good work :o) X

    Well its thursday morning and still smoke free.

    Had a few pints last night at golf club and by 10 o clock I was feeling it but stayed determined.

    My smoking deterants are building up lol, so far I am using patches, nicotine mints, trebor mints, frozen grapes, dart board, punch bag and good old poker.

    Yep still losing although cashed in 4k and a deep stack but terrible in the DYMs so keeping away from them for a while.

    Thing is how long can I blame stopping smoking for my losing streak lol

    Well, as promised I stopped smoking on Monday (16th Feb)

    I have just bust my 36 BI bankroll....

    Maybe it's best if I don't reload until next week when I'm a bit more stable...lol

    Oh well! I guess I wouldn't have been able to lose it if I hadn't have won it in the first place right?

    Onwards & Upwards
