Hi All!

Hope you're all jolly well and you're quits are treating you kindly.

May 6th will see 9 months completed, my God time seems to have flown by. The quit is still going strong, still hasn't really tested me. My view of cigarretes is very much that of before I became a smoker. I don't pay them much attention. To be honest I don't recall why I started now.

My life has changed more than just becoming a non smoker. The money I've saved has gone towards seeking help for panic and anxiety disorders. Although not 100% sorted I'm not far from it - an amazing change

Baby Stav number 2 is on route.

A negative is that I've got HUGE!...I've put on well over a stone and I wasn't a small lad to start off with. So, today I've started the next journey and that's to lose the weight and keep it off for life. Feels a much bigger hurdle than giving up the smokes at this stage, I do feel equally determined though.

So...we'll be seeing how this goes.

Take care all and be safe.

Stav

Lovely to hear from you stav! And congratulations on baby #2 - as I recall from a photo you posted once, you and the mrs do a nice line in babies :)

You're not alone in having to shake some excess poundage, but it can be done. And I have no doubt you have the determination to see it through. Congratulations on a very solid quit and see you in the penthouse soon!

Thanks both.

Can't wait until the new arrival is here.

I plan to be around a little more now as I've got my head around the quitting thing. Before not quitting (or not thinking about it) was a key for me....now it doesn't seem to matter.
