Well done Una 
That's absolutely great . I'm a month behind you. Isn't it just wonderful to be stopped?
Hi Becky, hard to believe. Where did the time go?
Well done Una, I knew you would do it and god! Where did the time go? It seems 5 minutes ago the June quitters were starting out. You have done brilliantly and I am really pleased for you and I am pleased for me we have smoked for about 80 years between us!:eek:
We've smoked for 90 years between us Hazel :eek:
Jeez Una, that is quite shocking isnt it? I am smiling though because I know we will smoke no more. Look at it this way we have now been quit over a year between us. haha.
WAHOOOOOOOO!
We. Are. Awsome.
Go Una, Go Una Go! Big high fives Haze! Is this even in the right room? I kind of think we should have stormed the gates of the 6 month plus room this fine morning! Doesn't matter... All that matters is that we are still not smoking. I am even losing weight now ahahhahaha. Never again, and I just received word that my best friend got back from a trip and has hit day 8! The easy breathing is contagious!. We have hit another milestone, puffed our egos a bit more!
Since I am so lackadaisical with posting lately, I would also like all the new quitters to kow I am proud of them, that I still read how they overcome the initial struggles, and that there is light at the other end. I am in a great mindset to stay clean for life this time. Big hugs Una, and to all June quitters,
I am going nowhere but up to the penthouse.

Way to go Viking. I didn't post in the 6 month room because it says plus. Thought it might make next month special. Well be half way to the penthouse. How great is that:D:D
Thanks Shelley, I've been a lot better since I halved the pills. Got loads of high potency vitamins and my light box came yesterday. I'm sure my basic problem is SAD, that's why I didn't want to come back to Scotland. Still using the app
Some great posts in here. Was going to wait till November 13th which will be my actual 5 months aniversary, but here goes anyway.
Still going strong off the fags, not getting blase at all and still get the occasional craving, but no way, I'm starting again, absolutely no way. No more coughing fits, no more waking up in the night because of coughing and I feel a whole lot less fearful and guilty about wasting whats left of my life to boot. Definitely put on weight, but not worrying about that for now. My complete lack of vanity in my appearance certainly helps there. Quite ironic really - I started smoking as a teenager, because I thought it looked 'cool'.
Anyways massive respect to those who quit around the same time as me, those who quit before, and most those certainly those after. The early days are a bit weird, but it definitely does become easier and it really is worth it.
Took me 35 years to work it out, but life is certainly better without a nicotine addiction. Good luck and fortitude to those quitting, and for those contemplating it - just do it!

That was a great read Esso, really pleased for you, and haven't we done well. Just started to tackle the weight myself after 9 months quit, I do stress about it maybe it is more a woman thing. Just great that you feel your life is better without the cigs and you are not missing out on anything. Keep posting and letting us know how you are doing great to hear from you!
WTG ESS0! Stoked to see you here as well!
Another milestone
YESSSSSSS,
so so happy, Una we must have stopped around the same time, (I quit 5th June) and I think i hit a milestone today, I actually informed my sister in law that I hoped I never smoked again as I don't want to spend any more of money on cigarettes.....this is actually enormous progress for me as about a month ago I was almost tempted to nick some out of her packet, (I am so glad i didn't)
Well done to all of us!!
Great to see you here. The more the merrier. I stopped smoking because I hated wasting all that money too
Hi Smile,
Glad my posts were helpful. I'm doing quite well coming of the meds. Wish I'd tried the apps first. You live and learn
Thank you very much Karri. No, it hasn't been easy but if I gave in I would have to do it all over. Can't give in after 5 months so I'll soldier on. It does get easier and if it hadn't been for the depression it would be easy now. I should have looked into anti depressants before taking them but you live and learn. I normally research everything. I think this is harder than quitting but another week and I'll be off them.
I'm keeping my eye on you. This time you're going to do it :D:D
WOOO WEEEEEEEE GET IN UNA
