It seems like the best way to kepp going with quitting is to not think about smoking... easier said than done!!!!! However, here is my suggestion... Throw yourself into doing something good.. something good for you or even better something good for someone else if nothing pops to mind that seems good to you. (I know there are times where nothing seems good or positive when all one can think about is the what ifs of a cigarette in hand).

As a suggestion: How about joining me on a beautiful country walk?

Firstly. I did not get into any fitness activities when I first decided to quit and have not yet fully experienced the benefit of quitting to my fitness levels. I also think that it will also be motivational to "stay quit" if one gets involved in a physically challenging activity.

Thus, I, like many others would like to do that now. I would like to walk the beautiful "South Downs Way" from Eastbourne to Winchester (+- 100 miles / 7 to 8 days).

I am sure you will agree: Quitting Smoking, though very rewarding and worth while, is not only rather hard but also a rather lonesome activity. Only you can do it for yourself. However, we can share our experiences and there are some postive, proactive things we can do together - like reap the rewards of quitting. So lets make it more fun together!!! For those of you that are interested in joining me on this little venture in mid May 2007. Please email me on SouthDownsWay@VolVentures.co.uk for more details.

Since places are unfortunately limited , please include a few paragraphs about yourself, who you are, what you like, how your quitting journey is going so far and what you have learnt from this experience or something else interesting of your choice.

I really look forward to hearing from you!!
