Really didn't think I would make it this far but I have. I completed 2 weeks last night and feel great. Thanks to all the people who post on here - when I am feeling edgy I just look at some of the posts and soon get the inspiration to continue. Starting to feel really positive and think of myself as an ex-smoker rather than someone who is trying to quit.
One of the best things for me is when my husband who quit 25 years ago tells me in passing that I smell nice Must have been like living with an old ashtray under his nose before but he never complained bless him.

Keep it up my OH is still smoking when she lites up, it smells nice, BUT when i get home from work she stinks of stale cigerette smoke, strange that I enjoy the smell of a freshly lit smoke but find that a "smoker" stinks ?
anyway soo yes you proberbly smell wonderfull keep it up!
I know exactly what you mean about feeling like an ex-smoker. I had a tant at my OH this morning as he was annoying me (tetchy due to his own quit) and I actually said to him:
I don't smoke, I have given up, go away and stop annoying me, you will not wind me up into failing so that you can justify failing, I WILL NOT SMOKE AGAIN EVER !!
Woo, go me...didn't think I had it in me!! Neither did he I think
It's great to feel that way about it now though after all the hard work isn't it.
