Feels good to be on day 17,can't believe I have managed to get this far.Still coughing and skin is horrible,but I know how to handle the cravings now and kinda feel I am now a non smoker,woo who.Still thinking abit like a smoker as in yesterday on way home thought I ll just nip in the shop as have no fags left,then remembered I don't smoke lol,weird as wasn't a craving I was having at all,just the habit of going to buy them,felt good not togo and chuck 7 quid in the bin x x

because i dont need to go to the kiosk anymore i keep forgetting to get my lottery tickets :eek: as that was part of the habit baccy and lottery :rolleyes: so in theory i could be a millionaire if i still smoked

but then again i have saved money by not buying them and feeling peed of when ive not won

Yea well done!

I've had some moments like that. Actually going to Tesco was a major problem for me when I originally quit, because I always followed up the shopping by passing the ciggie counter and buying some. Felt strange to walk right on by for the first week or so :p.

Hi mumi76

Huge congrats to you

As a treat for doing so well , how about a treat of a facial or a do it yourself if you prefer?

Could help make you feel a little more radient. Also remember to drink lots of fluids, especially water and fruit juice, these will help your skin too.

Again well done to you.

i have avoided the local shop until yesterday when i had to go , as i got to the counter the guy serving automiticaly asked me if i wanted a packet of 20... it was actually really disapointing to be recognised as a smoker! i said no i have given up . which actually felt like an achievement in itself,,, a bit nuts and berries that confession but there you go.. off to man up as they say

The owner of my local offy (beer shop) always asks how I'm doing with the quit.

I often have to get ciggies for the OH when I'm getting beer/voddie and always say '20 sovereign - for the wife!!!' and always feel a bit guilty even though I'm not going to smoke any!!!

Day 17 for me too :). Feel high as a kite, dancing in the kitchen, to the horror of my teenagers. Today is the first day that I have actually believed that life can be good without fags. Well done to everyone, we really are doing this!!!

day 17 for me too. I have struggles this evening though. We will get through this though.

I keep forgetting i dont smoke too, when i go to my handbag to get my phone out, i keep looking for my fag packet, then i realise i dont have any in my bag because i dont smoke. Or ill be washing up or doing the ironing and think "ill have a fag after this" then remeber i dont smoke, i often feel crap when i remeber i dont smoke and i cant have one, but only for a few minutes, then i remeber all the reasons why i dont want to smoke. If that makes sense?
