Well done you..It feels good to get back to normality. The first beer I had after quitting, I hated. Couldn't stand the taste and seriously thought about starting smoking again. Only cos I thought I'd be so boring, not smoking or drinking ever again. BUT...I persevered and practised a lot :D:D, and now I like lager again (thank god)...have never liked wine or spirits.

We all need to still enjoy life, and if that means going out and having a few sherberts, then why shouldn't we enjoy them without smoking.

I have been out tonight for a few bevvies to celebrate being 2 months quit. it can be done :)

Oops....DH has just walked past and said I need to go to popcorn rehab (2nd packet in half hour :eek:)
