Yep 7wks free of the cancer stinking sticks, and have a clean bill of health Yipeee
If anybody had said 7wks ago " Sian 7wks time you'd have not had 1 cig, puff etc "I'd have laughed at them:eek: but here I am 7wks smoke free and loving it......
I have too admit that if it wasn't for Greg, biggrin and everybody else here who's showed me such support I'm not sure I'd be here today so thank you....
Anybody starting on this journey keep going and don't take 1 single puff as it will lead u back to smoking quicker than u can say boo, believe me I've done it so many times, but not this time

Yes I believe it, 7 weeks, well done:). I've had a feeling from the start that you were going to do well in your quit. And you've proved me and my crystal ball right!!!
...but then I usually think of something and ramble on like an idiot saying all the wrong things! :rolleyes:
7 weeks, feels a bit surreal doesn't it?
The longest quit I have ever had in my life is 17 days...and believe me...it felt like 17 years!!....so hard for every minute!
I wouldn't have lasted this long without you or Biggrin.......it must be the smallest gang in the world! But ready to take on the world if need be!!
(........you go first .... I'm right behind you! )
I truly believe that the main thing that has helped you stay quit is YOU!
You have been an inspiration to us all.
You have stuck to your guns through maybe one of the scariest experiences you have ever had, the thought of COPD at your young age must have terrified you.....yet you stuck with it.
Having to deal with your smoking patients is another matter all together, and I won't even get started on that one again........
Suffice to say, how you do it is a miracle to me.
I can, however, see your point, the longer you maybe "have" to do it, the more it will confirm your quit.......could I suggest some breathing apparatus?
I'd love to see their faces when you walk in with a full chemical suit on......like something out of one of the alien films! chortle! titter!
Everybody on this site is a hero in the making.
We all help each other every day.
Anyone browsing this thinking of quitting please take a moment to really understand what this site can do for YOU. I never EVER thought I would get this far....
Sure I thought of quitting but kept asking "how the hell am I ever going to do it?"
I may not have all the answers yet to my quit but I certainly have a head start with the amazing people I have met on this site.
So Sian, well done with your quit, I hope your husband and family are so proud of you, I know we certainly are.
We started quitting together, by chance, and by God we will walk in to that Penthouse with our heads held high together ... by design! (and sheer bloody mindedness! )
Well done, Sian...it was 7 weeks for me on Monday...and it felt so good...still get the odd craving, but nowhere near caving in...hope it stays that way for us and all our fellow quitters!!!!
Very pleased for you, especially with the added pressure of being around smokers so much, I think you should wear the suit like Greg said..........freak them all out...
