World Health Organisation statistics claim there has been over 387,000 smoking related deaths since I quit 41 days ago. If that doesn't put things into perspective nothing will.

Been spoiled with nice gifts this morning. Happy Valentines Day everyone x

Well done Linda!

Yes, the numbers are freaky aren't they. It's about one every nine seconds :eek:

All that unnecessary grief and heartbreak. Doesn't bear thinking about really...well, actually, it does!

Brilliant progress.

Thanks for that bit of info. I'm on day 45 and have had a bad couple of twinges today. I think it's because I've sort of forgotten the reasons for quitting, those sobering statistics have now put my head right.:)

Heartbreaking aren't they? Sorted me out this morning too.

Yeah things like that didn't help me when I was smoking but now they're poweful for keeping you going. They put up a big billboard on my drive home from work just by a set of traffic lights that I always have to stop at. It's a smoking clogs your arteries poster and I stare at it and feel pleased with myself that my arteries are starting to recover and no longer full of gunge. Gives me a little glow inside!

I take it your sleep patterns are shot as well!

Yeah sleeping is a bit all over. I've been on herbal nytol for a week and had a few decent nights but not consistent. It's an ongoing challenge for me :).

Yeah i'm struggling to get into a decent sleep pattern as well. It's a bit of a shock as i used to be able to fall asleep at will! Is the herbal nytol working/helping?

Yes it's definitely helping as I have managed to extend my sleep most nights from 4 to 6 hrs. Falling asleep just after 1am as opposed to gone 3am. Some nights it makes no difference though.
