I am sorry about not replying,or getting involved in the recent figure posts,its not that i have lost interest in you guys,but down to a very bad chest infection which laid me low,but i have been assured that if i give up smoking i will recover to some degree,so for about two weeks now i have been nicotine free,but as you smokers among us will understand i am very,very pissed off,but as they say,such is life,or not,hope to post some pics soon.
Arthur

I wish a speedy recovery for you. I've never smoked before, but I can appreciate what you're going through. Hang in there!

Gunnie

bestest regards

Ola Arthur

Being I smoker myself I can understand your sorrows mate. I hope you will get better soon as I like your work and I definately want to see more of it

your health is more imporant then building figues,
we hope u get well soon

I feel your pain. I am quitting smoking as well. It is worth it in the long run.

Be well Arthur!!

I too am going thru the nicotine withdrawals, haven't had one since last Dec 31. It is tough especially after smoking for 35 years, but I'm doin' ok with it (so far).

I pitty the poor Mrs. here as I ain't been all that pissa to be around I'm sure. Really, the only thing that's keeping me 'in check' here is her firearm collection, and I'm sure that by now, all her various calibers have my name on at least one round.

I've put on a few stone too and now she has me on a diet that does not allow any alcohol (cholesterol problems too) and that just triples the pissin' me off. No food, no beer and/or rum, no cigs.... Aye, a miserable bleeper I am too.

Get well Sir Arthur! Hang in there! :-)

Quick Recovery my Friend. Check your health so we wont miss u anymore. I can understand u cause back 97 i quit smoking after 4 pack of Gitanes a day !!!!! So you can do it . Its just a trick of mind!!!! Good luck and paint some figs after you get back well . This helps !!!!!

I'm going on about two years now sense I lit up, but I had to cheat, I went to Copennagen, or Grizzly which is a lot cheaper, like a 1.30 a week. There was times I smoked 4 to 5 packs a day, and the one thing that made me most of all quit was, thinking of how they are spending all that tax money they put on the cigarettes. That not a penny goes to where they say it does.
Now if you can get away from tobacco all together then I'm with you all the way, I just wished I had the power you got Arthur
Hope you get well soon, looking forward to seeing you back to your old self.


Great Wishes Kerry

Hope you make a speedy recovery Arthur.



You should give it a try Gunnie, it may cost a fortune and make my breath smell like an ashtray but it does look cool to smoke.

Hi Arthur,
I just wanted to wish you the best of luck and hope that you're feeling better soon.
Looking forward to seeing you back here full time real soon.

Craig

Sorry to hear that Arthur. Hope you start feeling better soon.

Wishing you fast recovery Arthur. I know it sucks but you gotta do whats good for you. I know I did. Been smokin' for almost 20 years & I've been clean for almost 2 years now. Never even dared cheat & I quit just like that, cold turkey. Best regards.

Best of luck, Arthur. I already know 13,14,15, etc. year-olds who are already smoking. A bad road. These kids are using about 60%-80% of their tiny minimum wage paycheck on it. Sad, really. Best of luck and have a speedy recovery. Thanks for your time.

I gave up 2 & 1/2 years ago after 35 years of smoking so I to know what it is like. Hang in there my friend and hope you get over the chest infection quick as well

Gawd! Am I sorry I ever started! Partner doesn't smoke, don't know how she puts up with it? Get well soon. I think if I tried to give up the stress would probably see me off!


Vinnie

No need to apoligise. Its just great to see you´re on the way back. Im off the fags for 4.5 years now and still get cravings for them. Good luck .

Stick with it Arthur, I gave up two years ago after my heart attacks, keep yourself occupied that did it for me,thats why i took up the models again it really helped. good luck mate

I hope you have a speedy recovery from your ailment. Good luck on the quitting smoking. That won't be any fun, but you will feel so much better.



That has a whole different meaning over here.

Patrick

Sorry to hear about this Arthur.
Hope drinking was not inclued in their.
As a smoker I can see what you mean.
Hope you return to full health soon

TA!,guys,after you comments and best wishes i feel like this instead of this although i think the other half wishes i was like this .I was in the pub the other day,minding my own buisness drinking a lovely pint of Indian Pale Ale when this guy pops onto my shoulder and whispers in my ear "go on have one cigar,its not really smoking,and you can quit later",but this other guy pops up on the other side " what would you really like, a smoke or another lovely cool pint of Real Ale?"result, giving up is not easy but it has its moments :-)
Arthur

All the best to you my friend!!! I know how ard it can be but may be you can try getting much more addicted to the scale modelling drug...
Ciao and once again my best wishes for a prompt recovery.

I hope you get well soon Arthur !! Chin up guy...if you feel lonely and down, just hop in over here and we'll entertain you. No need for apologies !!

Get well mate !!
