So, last Saturday I woke up with such a stinking hangover that the thought of having a cigarette was not even an option.
This led into Sunday and by the afternoon I was ready to have a cig ... but then I realised that in terms of quitting I had already gone a day and a half so thought let's see how it goes
Err.... Day 9 now!! (Yay to me) lol
Cold turkey and reading posts on here I guess has got me this far - oh and I think I may be discovering something I never knew I had ... Willpower!
So just wanted to say thanks to all that have posted / responded on here. Even just reading the posts has been a big help

Cheers for the lovely welcome - I would have expected nothing less from you lovely peeps
Back to work tomorrow after a week off and I'll be in double figures! I did think that going back to work might be more difficult but I've got through the hardest part when I've been at home whereas when I go back to work I would have been limited to "breaks" anyway - so I'm thinking it should be even easier... (Now that really was a silly think to say lol)
10 Days not smoking seems silly when you think how many days I smoked
Hey Jamous, perhaps this is working because in a way it was an accidental quit no psyching yourself up for a quit date, no worrying about have u got enough NRT when is my Allen Carr book coming have I got enough fruit juice for the first few days etc etc.... you just casually did it and it's working, so nice one for that, well done
As always, thanks for the fab responses from you all, Max what a super way to think of only 10 days, and I am definately starting to feel it now I seem to have more energy in that I am not fighting for breath after doing the most basic of things
Well as I said, my first day back at work since my quit but the fact I am now on day 10 hopefully means any work-related stress can just go whistle if it thinks it's going to get be to go back
Just had another thought, every day when I go t work I always pride myself on looking smart and smelling nice. I always have a burst of nice aftershave before I leave home ..... and then I'll have a cig just before I walk into the office - Kinda defeats the object I guess lol
