Can't believe it really, i've had such a time of it the past few weeks with one thing and then another. There has been plenty of opportunities for me to smoke but i just haven't somehow. :confused: I'll be honest though i've been so up and down, one minute life is fab and i'm so glad to have quit, next thing i've had enough, and miss smoking.
Now it just seems like everyone smokes, how strange is that? :rolleyes: as far as i'm concerned i'm happy to never smoke again in my life but i just wish other people could stop too. I wouldn't be so tempted then haha.
Anyway i'm so excited to have made 2 months, fgeeling better for it, my lungs are treating me well and um....lot's of things seem to be better actually.
Thank you evribadi xxx

I'm with you in the 2 months, I'm 9 weeks tomorrow and I so relate to what you say about ups and downs. It feels most days like I could conquer anything and life is fabulous, and that is how i generally feel most of the time. Unfortunately I still very much miss smoking sometimes, especially on sunny days in the garden or on nights like tonight.
You are right, everybody has taken up smoking since we quit, it started yesterday, taking my little man on the bus (he loves em I hate em) and there were 2 lads smoking upstairs, I was livid for 2 reasons, 1st because its illegal and 2nd because the smell was divine and I was trying to breathe it in which I think woke my nicotene receptors up, then walking through my town centre I swear 99% of people were smoking, I said to my OH.....town smells like one big fag! Ive been in a dodgy mood since, for gods sake I can even smell when a car goes by if someone is smoking, fresh smoke smells very appealing to me I try to avoid it at all costs, altho stale smoke is rancid.
I am upset with myself because I love being a non smoker, it has been a lovely experience being so clean and fresh in body and mind. But I still yearn sometimes really bad, associations are harder to heal than the addiction!

Hi Shelley,
My God, your words rang a bell with me....proud and excited to be a non smoker, but still desparately missing it....(in a way)...especially after that evening meal or with a coffee on a Saturday morning...
I've just hit the 2 month target, and still going strong. I have been lucky and not been around anyone that smokes, apart from the people who I see smoking in town....I always have to look, and think to myself "I don't want to do that again"...but I have to say I still quite like the smell....
Sorry that it has taken me this time to say well done, 2 months is an awesome milestone and one of many too come, you want quit quitting now because you want to quit and you have the energy behind you to succeed.
So don’t let the negative thoughts overpower those good positive ones and you will be in the penthouse before you realise it passes so quickly from now on in xx
Aw...Thanks everyone, the support on here is whats kept me going no matter what time of day or rediculous hour the posts have been support has always been here during those tough times. The week i quit i had other c**p going on, how i survived i don't know.
AS a further note i met a guy today thats just been diagnosed with lung cancer, poor chap, he's now attending clinics with the nurse to help him quit. I'd say he's about 45 ish so not old. It was a good reminder to stay quit.
