Hi all, just having a shameless bit of self congratulation.....one calendar month yesterday, today is Month 2 for me, aka day 31. Honestly did not expect this after nearly cracking the first few days, it's been a rocky first month but today has been really really good, my best day yet, I've barely thought about cigarettes all day which is an absolute first. I don't expect to have cracked it, or for everyday to be like this; last week was really bad for me in terms of how I felt (the guys on this forum got me through that though) but I will settle for a nice day today without a doubt thanks to all who post on here, without you I would not be on day 31
I know there is a Penthouse for those who get to one year, isn't there an outbuilding of sorts, perhaps an old converted coal shed, for one month? Even a downstairs loo would do? Just a thought ha ha....when I think of a Penthouse I can't get "Fiddler's Green" out of the movie "Land Of The Dead" out of my mind, but in a good way obviously, not one populated by a load of mean Dennis Hoppers....

Congratulations Angry. I had a bad week as well but woke up today feeling great. I'm 6 weeks yesterday but in my mind I'm 8 weeks because I went back to the beginning after a day's slip up.
This is a fantastic achievement Angry, you really deserve the praise because I know you struggled last week and did not give in! Enjoy the good days and forget the bad.
Una very pleased for you too, you did not cave in either.
This forum is brilliant for helping people stay quit.
If only all the days could be like this one it would be soooo easy. It's rained all day but I still feel good
Congratulations! Well done, sir!

Brilliant, AngryBear, I'm SO glad you battled through the rough patch!
There might, as you say, be more rough patches - but you know you can get past them and come out smiling. And they will become fewer, of shorter duration, and much easier to deal with the longer you go on.
You've really made a big milestone today. Be very proud.
