Well look at that...

6 months!

Something that once seemed so unattainable and mysterious is suddenly so real!

I always knew that I didn't want to smoke again, but it was so difficult at times that I somehow thought this day would never arrive. It hasn't been a constant battle and struggle but there were days when I felt down and I owe so much to those on this forum who supported me through those times. They didn't just support me so that I didn't smoke but they also taught me how to learn to be my non-smoking self in tough situations. Thx guys

It DOES get better, day by day. Maybe you won't even notice it but you'll be having a glass of wine (or 5!) and suddenly realise that you don't even want a cigarette to 'make it complete'... Quitting has offered me a peace of mind and calmness that chain smoking never could.

Please keep with your quits, do whatever it takes because it's worth it!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not smoke for another 6 months

Yay!! well done you!!

now that says it all, i mean it's not like we didn't give smoking a good chance, we chainsmoked in search of calmness and still smoking failed us!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not smoke for another 6 months

Sorry to be late to the party.

Great post, always very inspiring to those coming behind.

Will be watching you make your strong ascent to the penthouse.

Onwards and upwards

Thanks MAH!

No treat actually... couldn't come up with anything that I normally deny myself (foodwise!).

I did stop drinking on the 22nd of Feb for a month though (to save money) and on Saturday I went out with some friends I hadn't seen in years and indugled in a few glasses (bottles!) of rose! :D:eek: so I guess that was my treat

Thanks for the kind words Shaun and Helen.
