Well I guess it's about time I said "Hi"

[nsd_user663_8970]

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

Hi, welcome to the forum, yes this forum is just fantastic, and definitely keeps us inspired when we need the extra surge of positivity.

Many thanks

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

[nsd_user663_61320]

Welcome Jamous and well done on your accidental quit. Brilliant.

Hope the first days back in work are ok.

[nsd_user663_60964]

An accidental quit! Like it Jamous

You're through the worst now. All you need to do is to keep on going and the days, weeks and months will pass before you know it.

Well done mate.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's back to work I go ....

Sorry couldn't resist that lol

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

Anyways, have a great day all
