Well done! That's nearly two weeks down. Be proud of what you have achieved. Soon you'll be at one month then you'll be flying.

Well done, Spooks! 13 days is brilliant, just think, tomorrow will be 2 weeks and that is really something to look forward to. I hope you are starting to notice the benefits of a fag-free life now.....they get better and better as the days go by, the craves become fewer, the purse gets fatter and the feeling of PRIDEin yourself and your achievement just grows and grows!

Well done!

Hi Max

It seems as though it is only weekends do i think of cigs, but thinking this is due to OH pops out to have a smoke, i really am hating the smell, and that is foolproof quit stuff after a few days!! I will get to 1 month and beyond Max as to be honest, i don't want to go back to it, due to the fact that whilst being a smoker you are blinkered to what it does to you and the thing that really got me.. is thinking i used to say to myself that it is my body blah blah, until i saw the video about Brian Lee Curtis....

youtube.com/watch?v=dVLtNgA...(Not working as expected?)

that although it may be my body that i am trying to wreck and that if in the likely event that if i continued and ended up with some horrendous smoking related illness that would indeed finish me off, that it is not me at all i am hurting it is the pain i caused for those i leave behind...

Going back to said video... as awful and as shocking as it is to see Brian in his hospital bed, LOOK at his wife and child, the distress on her face is there for everyone to see, but maybe not everyone sees it, as they are looking at what smoking does to the body!

Nobody said that giving up is easy, if it was then i guess there would be no smokers... this is my 3rd (and final) quit i have no intentions ever of picking another cigarette up, because in my mind it has all changed, but without getting those hard first days behind you and continuing with that same determination every day we would all cave in....

.... now where's the fridge lol

Hi Noggin

Most definitely do i see a difference,although waiting on the skin one, seem to have a few spots lol damn spots!! and roll on next week as then both of us will be putting money away!!!!

Hi Spooks, congratulations on getting to day 13 Just reading your last post, you might get a few more spots as your circulatory system will start getting back to places it had previously forgotten all about. But they do go a lot quicker than when you were smoking I'm with you on the fridge raiding, I need to start some sort of eating plan once I'm 100% secure with my quit - Not far off now, I just need to know that I can cope if any more whoppers come my way.Good Luck and keep up the hard work.

[nsd_user663_60104]

Thanks Jenninegs and debbieh

that makes alot of sense about the spots thing as although my skin ahem... was never perfect (ha if only) it does seem better already...

Yayyy roll on tomorrow, perhaps if i go bed early it will get here quicker.... i could always sleep for England, but just lately im up at all hours after wicked nasty dreams!!

im also sweating alot like a cold sweat not just at night like all the time, anyone else have/had this???
