Never thought I'd get this far back in December, but am feeling great about it all now.
When I was feeling grrrr a few days ago I wrote down all the reasons for not smoking, was about a page full then the reasons I could think of to smoke - which was 2 and they were stupid. That's really helped me to make up my mind and haven't had a crave - or even a slight wanting a fag - since :cool:
Am still going patchless, and will cut down on the gum gradually but at the moment don't want to do it too drasticially and risk messing things up!!

Way to go Gemma, I knew you'd do it!! We all have ups and downs with our quits but we all come to the same conclusion at some point that there are NO positives to smoking!!
We're both going to be in the Penthouse before we know it
Lol, would be gutted if I failed now too - but my mindset is totally different to the last time I quit. Then I was feeling jealous when I saw someone smoking - now I think it's minging!! Am not breathing deeply when someone's smoking in front of me either - more like crossing the road or overtaking.

Keep going on the same path, this is it!!

Thanks Karen!!
Am definitely finding more ups than downs now and it's fab to get here!!
Couldnt' come up with a good reason to smoke at all, so that's got to be good!!
Well done dropping the patches too....I'll try and join you NRT free soon.

Thanks Greg
Was um-ing and ahh-ing about going onto Step 2 patches for a week or so (should have stepped down earlier) then thought "blow it" and dropped them altogether!! Am definitely not NRT-free *yet* but it's a step in the right direction. Lol, we'll both be off NRT by then!!
Don't think I want to get famous for the loudest burps in Cornwall Am surprised Kat hasn't complained!!
Think the only thing I've changed about my diet is the pink wafers - need a patch for them next - and I am eating more :eek: but at least I haven't got too big yet. :cool:
Must be the NRT gum, or maybe something in cigarettes surpressed it? Know they do mess around with so much.
You're much more use than Cameron, at least you're not making things worse!! Am definitely not a fan either :mad:
Had a lovely meal for my birthday today, and one of the best things about it was not "having" to dive outside as soon as I'd finished eating and have a fag. Always used to before, but not now
