Wow, it's been 80 days since my last ciggie and i am feeling good about it. Things are much easier and my mind thinks about things other than ciggies most of the time. I am normally only reminded about ciggies when someone speaks of it or i see someone smoking. This foum reminds me about smoking but in a positive way so i like this reminder
How is everyone else doing on their smoke free journay?
Doesn't it feel good to be a non-smoker?!!

That is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo great NS4ME!!!
I bet your body is really thanking u at this point! You will be ready to run a marathon before u know it!:eek: Well maybe??? Anyway u should be so proud of yourself!
You are such an inspirstion. Tell me does it feel more natural 'not to smoke' now?
or do you still crave a ciggie. I'm on day 30 now and I must admit I've woken up these last few days wanting a bacon sarnie NOT a cig. A minor miracle after 25yrs!:eek:

Thanks everyone! You all make me feel soooo special! 525
It does feel much more natural to not smoke, but i do still have the odd craving. My hubby smokes in the house so sometimes the temptation gets a bit much, but when he is out of the house the cravings are almost never. Much easier now then it was at the beginning that's forsure!
Thanks again everyone - I couldn't have done it without all of you on this forum, i am sure of it!
You are a total inspiration to me lovely and one day I will get to where you are I knows it - I just have to follow your lead.
chrlen.ch/gl/images/smilies... happy for you my little band the Smiley Stranglers (minus Dave on Keyboards cos he is in the bar AGAIN) are singing yous some special songsxxxx
How nice to have people who really care rooting me on! It's amazing how wonderul people are on this forum. Thanks everyone ~ it means so much to me and you guys really are the ones that make things easier
Hi everyone that may remember me and has given me encouragement in the past! The names that spring to mind are Nosmoke4me, Buffy, Boudee and poppyfairy. How are you guys all doing? Forgive me, I have lost touch! I still have not had a single puff since 31st Aug, the day I gave up but still find my thoughts are dominated by cigarettes, although I don't always crave one in a physical sense. Do others here feel the same? I recently was speaking so someone that is one of those "occasional smokers" who said she cannot understand how anyone could ever get addicted to them!! Was she telling me "porkies" or does anyone think that the addiction to nicotine could be a genetic thing?
On a good note I feel a thousand times better for having stopped the habit, for a start my cough has disappeared, I smoked for 24 years and was beginning to experience mild chest pains/discomfort, being asthmatic when I lived in England did'nt help either!
I would be interested to know how everyone else is doing, newbie or not!

Hi bella newish here but congrats on doing so well its good to hear from people who are suceeding.
As far as the genetic thing I think some people are more inclined towards addiction not sure if its chemical or environmental. I have a good friend who is able to smoke occassionally and has never had a problem she will by the odd pack when she is stressed smoke a couple and give the rest away. I dont think she understands my addiction. Same friend has also been able to use other drugs and alcohol quite liiberally at times without ever developing a dependancy. It is annoying. Even morning coffee she can take or leave while I NEED it to function.
Dont know if its genetic or learned behavior or some combination. I come from a family of coffe chugging - smoker - alcoholics... I know I have to watch it with the drinking too but thats for another forum another day.
