Re: 2007


Sue, I quit smoking 3 1/2 years ago and it was one of the best things I have ever done for myself. All you need is determination, a swimming pool, and buttery nipples. :p LOL!

All kidding aside, it really is mind over matter. You can beat smoking if you really try. Go for it, girl!

Sue, I celebrated giving up smoking 30 years ago at midnight on 31st Dec 2006. Best thing I ever did health wise.

Having a beer...now that's a different matter LOL emoticon

Re: 2007


My Mum smoked for about 35 years. My dad died July '98 and she decided that she would make it her resolution to stop smoking and save the money instead (as well as her health!). She did it with sheer willpower and has been off them for 8 years now. She was able to replace her windows, put in a new kitchen and do lots of other things. Plus, she obviously did herself a big favour health-wise and was amazed that her taste and her smell were so much better and she felt great - still does!
So Sue, for the sake of your health please do try and give up. You have the offer of a buddy in Kath and you can go through it together and help each other. We're all here for support too!
Besides, think of all the money you would save for even more Bruce shows..isn't thatthe ultimate incentive!! :) :D

Good luck!!

This conversation has just made me realise that my dad wasnt smoking this Christmas. He used to smoke about 60 a day and gave them up about 7 years ago but will always have a few over christmas and go off them again at new year. He didnt have any this year, must ask him about it.

It'll be interesting when the smoking ban hits England, Wales and N.I. Should encourage people to quit. Plus make pubs more enjoyable to be in.

Dont be so sure John, some of the young people especially girls here have started smoking so that they can meet fellows out in the little huts outside. But the pubs are so much nicer to be in now.

Re: 2007


Not quitting smoking as never got started (luckily), but just wishing all bruce buddies a happy new year and best wishes for 2007 (and good luck to those quitting smoking too).

Had a nice long car journey over the weekend with both kids sleeping and me on my own driving with bruce cd's for company... bliss. When put SS on i was brought right back to May and November when i had such great nights thanks to bruce and bruce buddies (Dublin, may). It's great to have bonus happy thoughts with my bruce cds! Thanks for adding to the whole bruce experience and hopefully I'll meet a few more of ye in the future... roll on the next bruce gig.
