Today is my 20th day and I am feeling SO strong and am SO excited because I read that smoking is a habit and that it takes 21 days to break a habit so that must mean that after tomorrow I will never think of a cig again, huh? :rolleyes: One thing that I think has helped me is doing a latch hook (or crochet, needlepoint). It keeps my hands busy. And I LOVE my "When did I Smoke Last" app. If you do not this app or one like it, I strongly suggest it. It calculates how long since you have smoked, how much money you have saved, etc. I have found that if I am feeling weak and wanting a cigarette, if I pull up my app and am faced with the stats, I realize how far I have come and how I don't want to screw it up by having even just one cig. For everyone fighting this battle - BE STRONG - Other people have done this, so we certainly can too.
20th Day: Today is my 20th day and I am... - No Smoking Day
20th Day
Well done Linda. It is an exciting time for us. Finally breaking the habit that we've had for most of our lives. Keep going strong.
Yey, go Linda!
Day 20 is a massive achievement so keep going and be really proud of yourself

I love my no smoking app. I'm forgetful, for a start, so I need it to remind me of what day I'm on! Also, it shows daily pics and all the stats so I can see how healthy I'm becoming each day.
Huge thumbs up hun, you're doing great!! x
