I'm on day 26 so it's not quite a full month but close enough for me. I need cheering up anyway. So far i've been coping really well on my diet of ct. since quitting i feel ,loads better, still having the odd cough and phlegm but i welcome that because i know it's my poor lungs clearing out. I still get a tightness in my chest. (the gp is looking into that) Oh and another thing, i've noticed that certain foods and drinks i used to love i'm now not fussed about, like a cup of tea the milk in it tastes horrid, alcohol was tasting gross, but a J20 mmm lovel thanks. The list goes on.
On the whole i'm doing really well and thanks to all who have nurtured me through the awful hell the first week brought me. I haven't really had 'weak' moments as i can be very stubborn when it comes to proving myself haha, especially when others doubt your determination and will power (anything just to prove a point really) but i have been 'tested' at least twice. Last night i actually rolled a fag grabbed the lighter...thought about it and thought 'nah' and chucked it to one side, i'm sure the oh will smoke it. Good luck i say because 'i is a non smoker' lol. So let's see what april brings yeehaa, feeling better just for writing this.
Chocolate mini egg for all that read this. xx

room for one more!? there isnt a room for week 4 so im promoting meself aswell.Day 22, near enough a month for me too,the way im feeling right now the month mark is almost a formality without wanting to sound complacent.Things have been a lot easier up to now than on previous attempts (apart from a couple of very nearly moments) and i think thats down to the forum and the kind words,even went for a run today lifes great! wahey!!!
True Stu. Good on you for running and yeah why not move in.
Strange because i don't want to smoke but have thought about it today :confused: maybe i was just bored. Note to myself 'keep my brain busy.' Actually i think i just need a buzz of some kind. Tried nookie ...
Hi you, you are doing magnificant so dont worry and I say whatever room you feel comfy in knock and enter LOL and wheres my choccy eggs LOL oh you promised boo hoo sob sob xxx
still think about smoking a fair bit during the day but the being able to exercise again(properly!) is a big thing for me,plus i really couldnt be arsed going back to day 1.oh and im really enjoying rubbing it in to my wife who's still smoking! :cool:
Is there room for me as well on day 27 just like you fallenangel. Nearly caved in on friday night but got over it still thinking about the cigs but not having the cravings probably because of the champix and willpower and this forum never felt this strong about a quit before, but we're all in this together and every day is a bonus so imagine what every month is going to feel like
I will find you a lovely egg Jamange. and yes more peeps in the room :D.
spot on Stu, i'm running too (well can't at the moment until i'm over the op) and yeah i feel rather smug about not smoking and 'poo can't kiss a smoker' lol.
do you always have access to baccy? i would try and stay away from it all if possible !!!
keep it up
aLex
There is access to baccy here but i'm really not to fussed about it. If the oh leaves it out i'll put it in the kitchen drawer so i don't look like a common smoker if someone came round lol ! No not really, i just don't like looking at it.
Thanks Vicstar. i've just made a start on the egg's but still have to be a biit careful. At least i don't look stupid anymore. Oh and i wasn't sure where we were supposed to be either, it was like being in limbo.
I can't remember the last time i coughed in the morning. I used to have the most awful cough and it tasted foul too. I hear smokers coughing alot and i'm so glad not to be one of them anymore.
Something strange that i've noticed; my friends that DO smoke seem a little jealous/annoyed with me or maybe it's themselves i don't know. Is anyone else experiencing this? Oh well puff off lol.
Anyway my children are due home today, i haven't seen them for 2 whole weeks while i've been recovering and i can't wait to see them and tell them 'yes mummy's still not smoking' :D
Fantastic, one month done and dusted, never to be repeated and coughing now history. I think most smokers would not admit their failings especially to an ex-smoker, just ignore and smile lol.
Well done, you’re so positive. Your children will be so proud of you.
Still going strong and feeling fab. The insomnia that i thought would never end is like ancient history but and there is a but, i'm having a few negatives, i keep getting a croaky voice and having plegm moments (sorry) and my moods are just up and down, i've even been feeling depressed!!! I'm hoping it's all part of the quit and it won't last long.

Yup totally understand this! I used to hate people giving up when I smoked - how dare they beat the nicodemon lol! I don't expect my smoking friends to be pleased about my quit.
Bah humbug to them Fallen Angel - you are doing great Hope the kids squeal with delight when you tell them you've quit
That is all part of the quitting and the healing process, and you can dispell most of it by being able to state loudly...'but at least i'm quit from smoking!!'
I know the depressed feelings, the smoking dreams, the endless sighs and indeed the phlegm yukky stuff too, but it all passes. Thank god it does, or i'd have been a mess months ago. it does pass though, folk said the same thing to me many months back when i was worrying about the same things you do here, but it was hard for me to believe them when they said it gets better. However, it boosted me a bit and i was back on track soon enough and most of the things i worried about suddenly became things i no longer concerned over.
take each day as it comes, and don't forget to be proud of what you've achieved so far even if you feel a bit symptomatic.

I've been doing so well but tonight i'm feeling tempted, not because i want to smoke but more because i feel i've b ehaved for too long now and i'm a bit bored. Arghhh.......... :mad:
HHas Angel fallen tonight?........... The story will continue tomorrow because this naughty little angel is heading out for some yummy indian food and whatever else is on offer. I'm in that mood woo hoo!
Do you really want to throw all your hard work away and go back to day 1 again in about 6 months time when you get around to quitting again tho Angel !?
feel for you babe x but only you can do it. ...try to change your moods around into happy moods...If you smoke you will be much more upset then you feel rite now
You can do this ...rise above & keep the control xxx
xxx u didnt smoke last night so suppose thats good ..deep inside you want to keep what you got xx
xxxThank you xxx i've just hit a real sticky patch, i'm usually very positive and strong but i've just had the wind taken out of my sail recently.
It's hard when so many people want to bring you down and encourage you to smoke again by pushing you because they are jealous. In fact at times being '
I can understand ure exhaustion with trying ...ive been there lots of times .xx dont really know wot to say to you x coz from what i remember when i felt like this nothing helped ..I just felt like i was being denied something good ..like a big romance had been spoilt...x
If someone said right go smoke a fag now youll be ok & feel better?...would you really? ask yourself that question a lot of times ..in other words dont make a rash decision like i did in the past & just didnt let my head see another way...
Got a feeling you will be fine though xxx ure doing too good not to be

I haven't really had 'weak' moments as i can be very stubborn when it comes to proving myself haha, especially when others doubt your determination and will power (anything just to prove a point really) but i have been 'tested' at least twice. Last night i actually rolled a fag grabbed the lighter...thought about it and thought 'nah' and chucked it to one side, i'm sure the oh will smoke it. Good luck i say because 'i is a non smoker' lol. So let's see what april brings yeehaa, feeling better just for writing this.
maybe i'm being tested.
Finally I'm a non-smoker...
