Getting Better

[nsd_user663_51671]

I run my own successful business, have a gorgeous wife, 4 grown up daughters of whom i am immensely proud, 2 grand-sons and a couple of vintage Lambretta's. A nice haul, and a fantastic life.

If you had told me the day before i quit that in 5 weeks time I would be in the depth's of despair due to a 'need' for a fag, and that none of the above would hold much interest for me I'd have called you a nutter. But the way the last week caught me out has absolutely astounded me and I am so glad I am through it. It totally blind-sided me and turned a normally v positive (not glad-game happy positive) self starter into a self-doubting wreck.

But I didn't smoke and I didn't crumble and that is down purely to the kind sentiments and empathy of others. i didn't think I needed others around me to quit but after too many attempts ending in failure I decided to take heed of the research that suggests you have a much better chance if you have support. This forum, for me, is that support.

I look forward with all my heart and a renewed and strengthened faith to passing on my advice and experience, not just empathy, to others. They can then pass their's on and so it goes.

thank you everyone.

Glad you are through it York, I was seriously worried for you at one point. This forum is a massive help at times like that, you just come on here and rant and everyone understands.

Lucky you having such a fantastic life, a life that you will be around to enjoy for longer now that you have quit the fags!

Overwhelmed with the sweet wholesome smell of a non-smoker.

Made me LOL so thanks for that.
