I havent posted for a while due to being on holidays and just generally having a bit of a chaotic life.
I cannot believe i am nearly at the end of month 2 and have made it in one piece AND more importantly that i survived 2 weeks in one of the worlds smoking capitals with 2 smokers!!
There is NO way i could have survived the first couple of weeks without the support on here - it was invaluable and i cannot thank everyone enough for all their support, patience and wise words. I will never forget those first few weeks where it becomes all consuming and you can think of nothing but darn cigarettes. You promised me the day would come where i would get my life back and i have so a massive massive thankyou.
I am conscious that i could become complacent but know in my heart that this was my final quit and that final chain has been broken. Having said that, i still have to break that smoking = pleasure perception/belief that still niggles away at me - i guess this is only time.
I am still using the e cig to manage the cravings but my use is dramatically decreasing and as i said from the outset, if it keeps me off the real things well im happy with that
So BIG BIG THANKYOU TO EVERYONE on here - a true support network
