The week is nigh!

[nsd_user663_3607]

Afternoon, morning, evening all!

In 22.5 hours the week will be completed - I will be pleased to reach this milestone - it is as much a watershed as the 3 hour mark, the first day mark and as the 3 day mark.

So as I approach the week - what have I noticed in terms of benefits. Hmm - well - nothing new here but here we go:

1. Smell! My god! I didn't actually realise how much I was missing on this front - I love smelling my clothes now - ok I am a freak!

2. I don't smell - now with my new superhuman (ok - normal) smelling ablity - I can smell the other smokers....euuugghhhh!!!

3. Dosh - I am moving in with my OH next year - and money is key to this - Its not just the fags that cost alot - it was the other stuff i would buy whilst buying them - chocolate etc - so I am saving myself a packet (great pun eh)

4. Confidence...ish - Ok - sometimes I feel like I can conquer anything now and I feel a sense of pride - however, sometimes I feel very shi**y but think the former is starting to shine through.

5. Taste....hmmmm Curry! Need I say more!!!

6. Energy...ish - Again, waking up early and feeling like I have had a great sleep but then feeling alittle lethagic - know that sounds like a contradiction.

7. This forum - making lots of virtual friends with a common purpose - move aside Occupy London - we are the real protesters...protesting against a demon perhaps more demonised than the bankers (whoops - maybe this is getting too political).

Ok - those are the benefits - I am still struggling with concentration - and this is becoming an issue at work - I am in a pretty high pressured job and my distraction is not good - I think I just need to knuckle down and get one with it!!

Anyway - wow - what a long post - so thanks for reading!! Hope everyone else is good!

Hi Chris and congrats on completing your first week, it was such a relief for me to get that one under my belt I actually burst into tears

You have already listed a lot of benefits and there are plenty more still to come, but I will let you discover those for yourself

Don't worry about your concentration and energy, they will come back quite quickly. I now have more energy than I can use up LOL will be walking from Lands End to John O'Groats at this rate:eek:

So keep going cos it will soon start to get a lot better and a lot easier now. The sense of freedom and release from nicotine addiction are so well worth the pain of the early days, trust me

TC,

Zoe

Well done on your first week. I too remember mine and felt quite emotional that I had reached that milestone and it certainly gives you the impetus to carry on
