The Site

Couple of things about SSC Forums not to do with Smoking 
 
1: Show my age seems to be stuck on NO, I have clicked YES a few times but still stuck on NO ?
 
2: I get error code 11118 if I try to upload my Avatar, my Avatar is 226x226 and 9.53kb
 
Not very important but I wonder if members may have the same problems ?

Hobbies

I find when I'm busy I forget about smoking and outside of work my hobby is building high end gaming PCs, I also like to game, at home our extra bedroom is my Computer room and I have three gaming Computers online and they keep me quite busy so my advice (it may also work for you) is embrace your hobby/hobbies it may help on your quit smoking journey
