Day 45

[nsd_user663_7762]

Hello all Month 2'ers! (and to all those who are peeking in!)

Day 45 for me here. This week has gone so fast its untrue! Have I had any cravings this week? If I have, I cant remember them at all! Ah yes, there was a brief moment where I thought of having one when I was away for my fiancees birthday last weekend - but something caught my eye (I should say her but I dont think it was!!) and the craving was gone!

I had a few beers after playing football last night - anyone who is either thinking about quitting the amazing difference I have found in my fitness (dont get me wrong I have literally put a few pounds on in places that dont seem to suit a slim guy!) is a massive reason to quit. More energy, quicker recovery time. My legs and body used to ache after (and the next day) after playing footy solidy for an hour or so - but now I dont feel a thing, I really dont. Must because I have more oxygen in my body or something - I dont know. But I can really feel the difference - and it was something I didnt really think about before, which sounds a bit mad - the health difference in quitting. It was more of quitting is good because smoking is bad - not quitting is good because you'll feel the health benefits. Back to my original point - someone offered me a cig (not knowing I'd given up) and I said without even thinking no I dont smoke. And that was that.

WOW! I didnt even think about what I had said.

ROLL ON the next 45 days.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE. WHAT AN AMAZING decision we have, will, or are thinking about making.

Right rant over,

Hi Paul

45 days smoke free that's great and I'm so pleased you're feeling the benefits

Isn't it a great moment when without even thinking you say no thanks I don't smoke

Love

How nice that sounds, "I don't smoke", got a definite ring to it, well done you.

Thank you for the nice replies.

I'm so adamant that I'm going to succeed in this its untrue. And I think the willpower bit can often be the part that can be the hardest and, obviously, the part that can trip people up.

I keep saying to myself that at the end of the day its ONLY ME that can put a cig to my mouth and smoke it; no one else. No else is to blame if I fail apart from me. This is my quit. I'm responsible for my actions. I'm responsible if I fail.

Day 46 or is it 47 now? I dunno, but I'm getting there.

Thanks everyone - even though I may not thank you, I read alot on here, and it really does make a difference.

Cheers

Paul
