Quite hard hitting that pic is isn't it Annette? Thanks for posting it....I'm grabbing onto every tiny lil thing to stop the horrid weed monster getting the better of me!

How are you anyway? Are you finding it easier or harder at this stage in your quit?

Hi

Well, I am really pleased to say that finally my hubbie and I are not ill anymore. (well, did see he had used another lemsip last night, after I'd gone to bed), but atleast we are not deathly grey and clutching our chests. I mean what was that all about? Fancy us getting so poorly.

Anyway, as from yesterday I have been on the up and up. I am just so relieved to feel normal again.

I may now see some benefits to not smoking? do you think?

Saying that, as I have got better .... I have started wondering about it all again. I think I am forgetting why I wanted to give up so much ...

but hey ho ..... cannot face that withdrawal again, so Ill carry on quiting.

How are you doing?

I know what you mean re losing sight of why you gave up. I struggle sometimes to keep my reasons for quitting in sight when the cravings get really bad. I have held out tho, somehow!! Don't ask me how 'cos I really don't know.

As for wondering what it would be like to go back 'there', noooooooo! Don't do it Annette! Try not to think about cigs being a good thing, they are not. I try telling myself this every day and I do realise it is hard to keep a strong mind when the cravings begin to take hold. But, we can do this! Ok?

Just read your post - that is a hard hitting pic isn't it!! Sorry to hear you and hubbie have been poorly and glad to hear you are well on the way to recovery now. As yet I haven't had any illnesses as yet (touch wood) but from what I have read on other posts it would seem they are a lot easier to cope with and clear up quicker than if you had been smoking with them.

Hope that makes sense:confused:or am I rambling.
