Hey guys,
well, its been 9 months on the 1/10/11... is it just me or has this year speeded up ??
I am still going strong... the thoughts of smoking are ALOT less... no urges to smoke anymore... I can't remember how intrusive smoking was now, on my day to day life.
hope is evryone else doing??
still going strong to and yes the time has speeded up
my smoking thoughts have subsided to maybe once or twice a day and then it is fleeting thoughts
never thought i would see the day that i would feel like i do now i feel so free
sometimes i look back and wonder how the hell did i fit all that smoking into my life and why. had a cold last week and CANNOT believe i used to still smoke when i felt like that, and that brought it home to me what a true hardcore addict i was
but to everyone who has helped me through THANKYOU
and to newbies this is so doable and so so worthwile
and the old saying if i can do it anyone can but its true
well done my new year buddies
Ditto, ditto and ditto 
Had my first weeks holiday abroad as a non smoker a couple of weeks ago, found it a bit harder than i thought as everyone sat outside eating, drinking and smoking......... the latter reminding me of many a memory doing the same BUT i got through it and came out of it stronger .....and it was great being at the airport not missing or wanting a ciggie whilst seeing the panic on all the smokers faces when it was announced the flight was delayed 3 hours!!!
Been there, read the book, wore the t-shirt, fought the battle and won!!! (although i know i have to be on my guard, always)
Well done to all New Year (and new) quitters....... the pain, the emotions and the effort has been, and is, worth it
A lot easier now. Still have the 'was happier as a smoker' argument going on in my head pretty much daily, but never think about smoking in the mornings anymore. Now have a belly, which is an issue, but at least my lungs are clean. Called in to someones house last week, and although they werent smoking at the time, the smell of stale smoke from the house stayed on my clothes..... and it were disgusting! I stank!:mad:
I am here, so happy to be free. Immeasurably healthier. When I think what I was doing to my poor lungs, with asthma and everything... what an idiot I was.
I finally feel (and I don't think I've been able to say this before) that I've cracked it.
I'd be lying if I said I never thought about smoking, because I do. But... how can I put it? It's like I'm detached from it now. It doesn't have the same hold over me. And even when I have odd moments when I think 'I could so smoke now' it's more an intellectual thing, rather than that painful urge it used to be. I can be rational, and I can say 'I could, but would I? NO THANK YOU!!!'.
So proud of all the jan quitters. Nearly at the penthouse guys, keep on keeping on!

Hiya guys,
I'm still here as well and going strong. As everyone has said, it is now alot easier and I am a hell of alot healthier now. I now smile to myself when I see others stood outside the pub/restaurant having a quick puff, before being allowed back in. Well worth the struggle and things are now alot easier. Well done everyone, it'll soon be a whole year for us
