Bravo Gary! I know what you mean about still reaching for the packet. After two months, I still look for them when I am leaving the house - every time! I have now substituted Polo mints, just to give me something to grab! Funny things, habits.
I know what you mean now about being a non-smoker rather than somebody who is trying to quit. It takes it to a whole new enjoyable level!
I have substituted smokes for raw carrots!
I love how far I can run now and not be gasping for breath.
My skin looks completely different and the whites of my eyes are, well, white!! (although gave up drinking at the same time so could have something to do with it).
Anyway, didn't mean to congratulate you and then start to ramble on about me!! I'm just so chuffed and can't really share that with the people around me.
Gary your post made me smile as I sometimes finish a meal at home, and then get up to go to the back garden to have a cig ... I'm halfway there when I realise I dont smoke anymore.
I was out for a walk the other day in the park and this young lad approached me and said " can I buy a cigarette off you " I instantly replied "sorry I don't smoke" I had to laugh at myself as this was the first time this statement was actually TRUE!!! I don't know why but this took me by surprise and made me feel great.
