4th week

Hi Dottie

I am quite near your quit Day as we ll. I gave up smoking on Feb13 th 2012, and am doing much better than I expected, I am on the middle strength patches and the inhalator when I need it. I have been smoking for 50 years, and you might think why am I bothering because the damage has been done, but I had a very bad bout of bronchitis and didn't smoke for 2 weeks, so I thought I would try to give up, and I am so glad I did because I feel so much healthier. It hasn't been easy and anybody that says it is lying, I had a bad Day last Friday, and I can honestly say if there had been one in the house I would have smoked it, but I am very lucky as the rest of the family are all anti smoking. I wish you all the luck for the future as a non smoker and hope we succeed xx

Hi Lills,

Good on you - it is never too late we are told and I actually beleive that is true.

Last Friday was bad for me too as I had a blip and really beat myself up about it - I wont be doing that again! It is such a hard habit to break, I just think if I can do this I can literally do anything... :)

Reward

I think Friday is a bad Day for most of us that enjoy a gass of wine as a week end treat or a break from the stress of week Days, so will have to be more on my guard on these Days. There would be nothing I would like better than come 5 pm today would be to put a bottle of wine in the fridge, have something nice for dinner, but I am determined to stay a non smoker so will not have that glass of wine until I feel stronger xx

No wine & feeling fine

:):)

I did not have a single unit of alcohol this weekend and did I miss it ? NO!

I have actually lost a few pounds since quitting smoking as I no longer have wine 2/3 evenings a week so it is all good.

Quitting smoking is the most positive thing I have ever done
