.........and I still want to smoke. But I'm not going to. I feel so much healthier and I've saved £350 so far.
It's finally raining here which means I haven't got to water the allotment tonight. I've decided to celebrate by fixing the tyres on my pushbike (which has stood in my hall untouched for a year) and going for a cycle ride.

Hi both - i haven't posted on the forum for ages but I have also passed the 100 days milestone and can still say that i could really go for a smoke! I am assured it does lessen but i still feel like i had one about an hour or two ago, and i am ready for the next one!
I think the pride and the drama of actually giving up has now passed and this is how it is going to be from now on - that is a little bit scary. I have to puff on the inhalator every now and then to get me through and i know i won't have one - just sometimes you get a crave that hits you and you think, come on, enough already!
With the money that I used to spend on cigarettes every month, I am going to get myself a much needed new car. And I cannot wait!
I went camping last weekend and my mate in a tent near me who is in his 50's and a heavy smoker woke me every night with his awful coughing. I can remember coughing like that. Or just lying there listening to the wheeze. Not any more. I can breathe easy now.......
Well done everyone, 100 days is a special achievement, but as Sue says the temptation is still there to smoke so be on guard at all times.
I don't come in here as often these days but I note a couple of people who fell off after a year and even a 2 year quitter cracked, so the warning is there for us all.
Your coughing camper is probably the reminder everyone needs every now and then - who would seriously want to go back to constant bronchitis and short breath ?
Keep it up all, you're winning but you haven't yet won.
Hello!! This is my first try at quitting and I'm on day three! your 100 day smoke free read gave me inspiration!! Thank you and well done!! £350!! go treat yourself
