That desire to stop feeling like a junkie is a great start, it is about you being in positive control of your life. Surprisingly the money side of things seldom comes into it as a good reason to quit, simply because we always seem to manage to get by and if it is mostly about that and circumstances change, well then there goes most of the motivation. Focus on that control you want, focus on hating that feeling that nicotine is leading you a not so merry dance and that cigarettes are going to damage you in some way no matter what lies we tell ourselves about feeling well. This is just the way to go about this Daisy. Proud of you right now!

7 ... Phillip Island track always looks magical, obviously seen it on the box with the Moto GP and World Superbikes. Thought you may like Brands Hatch as I was heading down the Brabham Straight today.

Daisywheels, hi and good on you for posting. You see the kind of crap cigarettes deal you. Right here, right now is the kind of shit the addiction pulls. First of all, plenty of cold water, the colder the better and you need to learn to breathe in the kind of way that mimics how you would have done. As Boo mentioned the deep breath in 4 seconds, hold 4 seconds and long, long exhale will help. What are your reasons for wanting a smoke free life?

5 ... You know me, I'm like a big kid with this sort of stuff, in the footsteps of giants. You can curse if you want, just needs to be your turn sometime soon. You must have driven part of the Melbourne track, that's a road course right? And rather than big kid, it was kind of like a small kid this time, I needed cushions (kind of ) so that my 1.73m frame could reach the pedals in the F4 car.

5 Magical. It was the best car experience I have done (although not done that many). The single seaters were great.

5 No Jo Jo, going up! Good morning, how the devil are you?

-1 You did the right thing Fluffy. It can't be helped when they won't play ball. ?

Daisywheels, it's good that you can be straight forward and honest about this, the key is to know your own reasons for quitting and fight ferociously to protect that. Slipping is something most people will have faced at some point, it's an opportunity to learn and go again. You don't fail in a quit unless you throw the towel in. Don't be embarrassed, be angry that nicotine has that kind of hold over you. Shout if you are struggling, give the excellent team here a chance to talk you down through an SOS. That is a sign of strength and passion for your quit, not a sign of weakness.

-1 Hey Fluffy ?

Welcome on board Sierra and congratulations on nearing the end of your first week. It's good to have you here. Once you are comfortable pop a topic in introductions, I'm certain you'll receive a very warm welcome.

If you haven't hurled in a way reminiscent of a scene from The Exorcist have you ever really puked?

-1 If Mrs Squirrel is picking on you as well, what is it you've been doing to piss off the wildlife?

^^^ Is that from Srinivasa Ramanujan? I recently watched "The Man Who Knew Infinity" and it sounds familiar. Good film if you're interested.

Sitting at the cafe at a cool, damp, windy Brands Hatch, under a poster of Dame Sarah Storey from London 2012 waiting for my driving experience to start.

-13 Hey Fluffy, I'm good, just finished a full cooked brekkie (minus mushrooms cos they ran out, minus black pudding cos apparently that doesn't count any more). How's things in bonnie Scotland this morning?
