Good morning everyone. I woke up this morning coughing and sneezing, watery eyes. Felt like I used to when I would have that first smoke of the day.
I am so sorry, please forgive my manners. My name is Pat...I am a nicotine addict. I have quit as of Dec 31st, 2011 at 9:30 pm.
I guess in away that hacking attack was good. Reminded me of one of the reasons I quit. I hated waking up like that. So, now, I am ready for whatever the smoking demon throws at me and I will just continue to fight each and every day....ppat
Day 15 and loving it!

Well done Pat! week 3 too.I have had a bad cough last few days,not sure if its a cold or because I have stopped but its not as bad as previous coughs in the winter,like a real hacking cough I used to get when had a cold/flu,its not half as bad,will pass and look where we are week 3! x x x
I think it is a smoking thing. I didn't cough after I stopped, which kind of worried me. In a way this is a relief, I want to get that stuff out of my lungs and start healing! Cough away!!! ppat
Hi Pat,im day 15 too..I just had a slight sore throat and thought I was getting away with it until this morning I started coughing,more of a tickly cough tho! Hope uv had a good day and well done x
Everyone counts how many cigarettes they have been without. I am afraid to do that. 60 smokes a day times 15 days...that equals 900 cigarettes I have not smoked. WOW! Very scary....ppat
Holy Smokes (pardon the pun), 60 a day, that must have cost you a fortune, i am also on week 3 as of today and feeling so much better, the craving has virtually dissapeared now and i am thinking about smoking less and less,
I don't work so I have all the time in the world and yes they were very expensive habit to mantain. I am so glad I have stopped those nasty things.
My grand daughter is 5, just getting to the age of awareness. Any way, I talked to her last night and told her I quit and she said Yea, good for you grandma. Then she looked at her auntie and told her to quit....so special.
It's moments like that that make this all worth while. I will never smoke again.I want to see my grandkids grow up.....ppat
