Well I'm back after my relapse back in late August, and am now 25+ days into this quit after getting straight back on the wagon, even starting to forget about smoking altogether for 12 ~ 24 hours at a time now.
My life has also changed dramatically since quitting with so many benefits, Here are just a few :
Not having to bow down to the all important king slick nic everytime the beggar calls.
Being able to run a mile for the first time in 8 years non stop in just over 8 minitues.
No more being lethargic every single day :o.
Fresh and minty breath and nice smelling hair and no more yellow fingers and teeth.
No more severe heartburn every day :D.
And these benefits are just the tip of the iceberg for me
Anyway I hope I don't sound like I am rubbing it in or bragging as I am not meaning to, I just want to share a few of the benefits to the new or will be quitters, if you quit smoking and stick with it.

It's not bragging at all.....it's celebrating the wonderfullness and the freedom of not being chained to that stinking little weed any more! Kick him even further away with a well aimed boot up his ass!
The more good stories that are posted here, the more would-be quitters will see how great it is to be fag-free and that's got be good!
I'm finding that it all depends! On a general day-to-day basis I don't really miss them much. But if something is really winding me up, then I want one as badly as I ever did, so I have to try and find some other way of coping with the "something".
So, it's not a walk in the park. There are bad times as well as good times. I just try to learn as I go along and I tell myself that if I am to be a non-smoker then I have to deal with the hard bits as well as enjoy the good bits. It's a bumpy old journey and that's for sure :eek:, but I'm finding that I can cope with a lot more hassle now, before the craving for a fag rears it's ugly head.
But, as you mention in your previous post, the benefits are fabulous........feeling much more alive and fresh and healthy, lots more money; it's really, really worth pushing on through the bad times and they do get fewer and further apart as time goes by!
