So very impressive Jane, you cool woman! Please keep posting about your journey though - its so inspiring for everyone who still smokes (or indeed anyone who has a big challenge of any kind) to see how your determination and grit have won through. Thanks for letting us share it all with you, but dont just think you've been supported by us - this has been a real two way street as you have given us a lot too. Enjoy your day! jean

Hi long lungs. You have just achieved the hardest thing you could ever do. I didn't smoke very much but was really addicted. My Husband was on forty a day and gave it up just like that. It took me a few months. I used to go to my sisters and have one of hers. At the end of the week I would buy her a packet. I realised how silly it was and just kicked the habit. It's a good job I did as a few years later I had a really bad asthma attack and if I had still been smoking maybe would not have made it.

longlungs profile image
longlungs in reply toMavary

Hi there Marvery it is a complicated habit unlike any other drug or alchol we dont smoke for the buzz in any way?So glad I kicked it outta the door and away they have gone!That sounds very scarey for you,glad you kicked it aswell.Thank-you for supporting me,see you soon.:) Janexx

Hi Jane. Just be careful when you are around anyone that smokes. It is still early days for you. It is so easy to slip back if you are feeling a bit low. Just remember the feeling you have now if you feel yourself slipping. If you are like i was, first thing in the mornings that horrible taste that's enough to put you off. I tell my sons if they can give it up for three weeks they are pretty well home and dry but it doesn't make any difference to them. They still do it. Anyway good luck you have done well!

longlungs profile image
longlungs

Idefinitely hear what your saying and your right still very early days in the school of things.You will hear me screaming on here if i have a wobble Mavary you can be sure of that.T hank-you Janexx
