All those coming through it does get easier, if you're in your first week you may not believe me but it does. First 3 months I was on a bit of a high (needed to put some distance between me and day 1) then you have the next 6 months when you've quit, there's too much invested to risk going back to day 1 but at times the learning to live without a fag when something happens, you go for a meal, go for a drink, have your first holiday/trip brings a little nudge, easily dismissed.
The one year is a fantastic feeling as is every month thereafter - looking forward to a long time of smiling about having quit. Pat yourself on the back - you've quit.

Hi MAH
Nothing to add to what has already been said above, it is always nice to read posts from those further along the road than myself, especially when they are as good news as yours is.
Oh. Nearly missed this! You can have the key to my door anytime! A big fat thumbs up to you for doing such a marvellous quit job. Drinks on you at the park?! X x
Yes Jackie and Bella - talking in years soon, in the beginning I tried not to think that far ahead but from this point I wish I'd quit earlier! Best thing I ever did.
