Although I'm still thinking about smoking way too much and it's getting on my nerves, I am starting to believe that I've actually done it.
I woke up this morning and my first thought was, "I'm a non smoker!"
More than that I'm no longer dependant on nicotine. I can't believe it after all these years of being an addict, at last I'm no longer dependant on nicotine.
I know there will be triggers and times when I miss smoking but this is only because I havn't sorted my head out yet.
I've got to keep telling myself, "You didn't ENJOY smoking, you did it because you were addicted to nicotine and therefore HAD TO DO IT".
The memories of feeling good when I had a ciggie are false and I've got to work hard to undo these false memories.
I'm not exhausted anymore, although I am still looking forward to the day when a whole day goes by and I don't think about smoking even once. I'm looking forward to the day when smoking is a distant memory of something I used to do.
I can do this, You can do this, it is hard but it is possible and it feels great.
How are the rest of you? Hope your all feeling strong. It's a tough journey but probobly the best one we'll ever take. It's the journey to freedom and I feel I can see the light at the end of the very smokey tunnel that I've been in for a very, very long time.
Stay strong
Hopeful

Well done hunnie you sound very good. I still think of smoking daily but the thinking is diffrent cant really explain how Lol. But im still like you cant wait for it all to be a thing of the past. we must just keep doing what we are doing not smoking and Im sure we will get there.xxxxxxxxx
You sound fantastic so different to how you sounded a few days ago
You will think about it for a little while yet and then one day you'll suddenly realise HEY I haven't though about fags today and soon after that it will be days and then weeks when you never give them a thought OK
Yes there may well be triggers to get through but it gets easier and easier from here on in every time time you say no to the demons
Yes those memories of fags helping you feel good were false and never ever forget that
Man, I am so proud of you!!! You really did commit, didn't you You sound great.... some days may be better than others but the thoughts of smoking will fade now more and more..... for most of us it takes a while before that special day comes that you don't think of them at all..... but the day will come So proud of you!!!!
I agree re getting on your nerves. I got bored with myself in the end! You really do sound so positive, which is a good way of the battle done. Sort your mind and the rest will follow. Well done you!
