Well after 28 years of smoking at least 20 cigarettes a day, today marks 100 days smoke free !! And what a 100 days it’s been.
I have experienced every negative emotion known to man and how my husband is still with me is a miracle. Haha.
I have been through so much these last few months. Diagnosed with cancer in October, at the age of 43 and the mother of 8 year old twin boys was just horrendous. Stopped smoking on 6th November and had cancer surgery on 24th November then the long and painful at times recovery and then xmas with all the gatherings and drinking and I am so so proud that I did all this smoke free !!!
I got the all clear from my consultant and I asked him what I can do to try reduce my chances of this cancer coming back and he replied ... what you have already done, stop smoking and never smoke again ! So each time I get a stupid craving I think of his words and can say with confidence that I will never smoke again. NOPE..... Not One Puff Ever.
That’s not to say that I don’t miss smoking because I still do and guess I always will and actually still feel bitter that I can never smoke again but suppose it’s still early days.
Good luck to each and every one of you in your stopping smoking and you can all do it if you really want to !
