Just a little update

[nsd_user663_48218]

Ok guys, I wasn't going to update this for a few days yet but wanted to put it out there. I have now gone 2 days, 13 hours and 30 mins without a cigarette. Whilst I am proud of myself I am trying to make it not seem like a big deal at the minute, it's just another thing I don't do (one of my colleagues noticed that I hadn't been going outside and was told not to mention it again, in a nice polite manner, of course lol)

I have had a few cravings but nothing overly drastic. I think I have accepted the fact that I can never have another puff so it makes it that bit more achievable. I know that there will be moments of weakness but I am generally trying to ride these out and they haven't been bad at all.

The only thing I want to ask, I had a coughing fit this morning (which I expect) but it tasted like stale smoke. Has anyone else experienced this? I've never had it in my previous attempts and was curious as to whether anyone else has noticed it?

I'll update every so often to keep you aware of my progress and look forward to helping others on their journey to freedom (when I am not in work and am able to reply)

(PS - I have a couple of pics for Carol but need to figure out how to upload them lol)

Hi Mark, the muck that is clearing itself out of your lungs is tar residue, which smells and tastes like fags apparently. I found this online after some pretty vivid smoking dreams
