I feel

FANTASTIC!!!!

Morning, Afternoon, Evening All.

So Day 16 it is today - haven't posted on here since Day 5 I think - slap my wrists!

For those that remember, my chest was concerning me - it was tight and tender to touch along the middle of the rib-cage - I'm pleased to announce that it is no-more. The tighness went away after Day 11 or so and hasn't returned. Hence the Viks vapour rub has been put away until the next dose of Man-Flu strikes.

So, the garden is full of roses at the moment with this quit - thinking about smoking is reducing day on day - yeah, sure, temptations are there - the quit is still in its infancy but I think I am over the worse of the mind games - but I'm holding that "just one" thought shattering hammer just in case.

Only outstanding concern at the moment is managing the coming off Champix - I'm going to take it easy and come off very gradually - months rather than weeks.

The other concern I have is - how do I spend this extra cash - Oh I know, a free ticket (that I would have flicked and puffed away) to Bestival - Elton John and Snoop Dog - how can they be even in the same country - let alone the same venue - I digress!

To everyone struggling - this thing can be beaten - its does get better and you will conquer it. Believe in yourself and be proud of what you have achieved thus far!

Hope everyone is strong in their quits!
