I'm in day 8! My first week without smoking in more years than I care to remember. I feel very proud right now - and also truely grateful to all on this site who've helped, whether by encouragement or just sharing their darkest moments. I wouldn't be here without you.
It ain't been easy, there's been physical side-effects some good and some I'd rather not talk about, and the mental side has been, well mental. I had a dark moment again last night but only got through by knowing if I did I'd have the embarrassment of admiting to family and work colleagues this morning that I couldn't do what they do without thinking, (that and the fact I'm back in front of the Quit Smoking Nurse on Friday).
Kay - how're you doing on our day 8?

Day 8 Dave that blooming marvellous my love. We all know this is a hard slog and unfortunately we all must go through it but I honestly believe it will get better and we will look back and laugh (hopefully) about all our moaning.
You will do it Dave because you want to. I want too, it's hard but we really do not have a choice.
Dave a huge well done, and you are right to be proud. A whole week done and into the nice new week 2 room, enjoy whilst you are there, because before you know it you will be into months.
