Day 7 and so emotional at the moment

[nsd_user663_35711]

Day 7. I cant believe I have got here. I went to the help to quit clinic today, this time last week the machine recorded 62(mgs?) of carbon monoxide, today it was down to 2.

I look back at the last week and cant believe I havent had one puff at all.Im feeling so emotional now and feeling that I have achieved something good! Im staying with my parents to recover after having a major op, my mum smokes but I havent been tempted. Ive had the cravings, by God have I craved but the thing that keeps me going is remembering how I felt yesterday and how I never want to suffer that day again.

The great posts on here help me too, I read the appropriate day and if I have the same feelings as someone else, then how they coped helps me too, if not I think how lucky I have been to escape that day.

Anyway going into the 2nd week now and I WILL not smoke this week either.

Congratulations lillie. That's a huge achievement. You should be properly proud of yourself.

Keep taking it one day at a time. There's still a way to journey, but the path gets easier and easier.

Really pleased for you!

Well done Lillie, you're doing amazingly, I'm not surprised you're emotional.

Thank you for your lovely reply to my "what's happening to me post"!! It makes ALL the difference to get such encouraging words from people who are going through the same thing.

Hope you recover quickly from your op.

Take care of yourself
