Hi there Ken
I can put a picture on that may help you pack in smoking - I smoked for 40 odd year and 3 years to this month - on the 14th to be exact was the last time I had a cigarette. I used to enjoy a tab. Now I have a small plastic bottle reminding me - it has tubes in it - they were inserted into my right lung - and the sheer pain of it all when they inserted the tube without any anaesthetic - they used something like a welding rod and pushed it straight through - all I remember apart from being bruised from me armpit to the thigh - I felt like I had been belted with a baseball bat.
In all honesty do I miss smoking - yes I do occasionally - but once you get over the first few days - hey presto!!!
I had patches and everything you can think of to stop - to be honest with you - the best thing I had was similar to a cigar holder to chew on
when they removed the pipes I asked if he would give me the bottle with the pipe in so everytime I fancied a tab I would look at the bottle - do you want to see the bottle? Cos I still have it here. Ken, I do suffer from severe COPD and the worst thing ever is sometimes I have to use me wheelchair, I cant walk very far and that gets me down. Its a killer when you go to the lake as you need people to help ya.
By the build is looking good - I am still watching. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK KEN - AND PACK IN THAT SMOKING
