I gave up the smokes in April 2011 and haven't looked back. Went cold-turkey without any aids. My health and saving approx. 6k a year was motivation enough.
Glad to hear you've been able to keep with it dude, it's no easy feat "Cold Turkey" but IMO it yields the best & longest lasting results - As of last month I'm 2 years running myself.

His mum and I have no idea where this athleticism comes from. We both sucked at sports.
Congratulations to your little bloke dude, I hope it's one in a long list of future sporting accolades for him.
