Yes folks its now day 28-- and I don't even fancy a fag any more. I'm not gonna lie and say I don't get craves. Last sat was the worst ever. Went out for a meal to celebrate daughters bday onthurs (she has to have 5 teeth out for her permanent braces this friday so we celebrated her bdy a few days earlier.) Anyway all was going well until the guy on the next table decided to get up and go out for a fag. Unfortunaely our ta ble and his were near the window and his wife/gf pulled back the curtains to try and 'talk' to him outside while he was having a cig. Talk about torture!!! I'd managed really well up to this point cos of the ban . But this was just 'rubbing salt into the wounds' I got through it with lotsa deep breathing and an extra glug of vino. ;)But it was close. I think what got me through was knowing that Ok it would be ace for 5mins or so but then i would want another and another and lots more and I'd only want to quit again. I don't know what anyone else thinks but I think that once you've tasted smoke free life you can never be a 'happy'smoker again.

I will Linda. Everyime I think of smoking I think of the quote below
The dinner experience you describe is so tough because it comes on ny surprise. I think your right though. Once you quit if you go back it will feel great for a minuite but then it will be even worse becasue you know how much better life is without. Best luck ... and my sympathy to your daughter... desntis & orthodonture youch
I know just how hard these types of situations can be and I know that it is like holding on to the edge of a cliff with your teeth
well done you and I mean that in a really big way
onwards and upwards
Aw thanks Boudee - only TEETH is a banned word in our householdd at the moment. Emma is having FIVE of them removed on fri so her permanent brace can be 'wired in'!!!!
1 month feels great don't it??? It sounds better than weeks! Next time just think of how great your food is tasting over the rank ciggy! The cold Winter months are approaching and I am so glad I will not be one of the few outside smoking while freezing my ass off!
