Hi everyone. Just logged in for a quick catch up and I'm pleased to see that some familiar names are still here. I passed the ten month mark at the end of March. Quite shocked I made it actually! Most days are easy, don't really crave. Sometimes I think stuff like 'I will just wash up then I'll have a quick fag', before thinking 'Oh, I don't smoke'. It's like I forget briefly. I am fine drinking now but a little edgy if I am on a night out with just smokers - which happened last Saturday so I left early.
I had my car MOT'd last week and lots needed doing. Pretty sure the mechanic was a smoker! Not smoking in my car, obviously, but I could smell stale fags, yuck!
Warmer weather coming up which I'm looking forward to, last year I wouldn't sit out in the sun because I associated that with smoking, I'm hoping that won't be a problem any more. :)

Thanks Spanisheyes and well done Graham, 200 days is great going. I just had a quick count up as haven't been keeping track and I'm on day 313 today, it goes so fast!
Hi Nicky39! Congratulations on 10 months!!! I forgot how the change in seasons can affect a person's quit- I was on my guard my entire first year and I'm still afraid to drink after a year and a half almost!!! I am sometimes caught off guard (and then pretty proud of myself) when situations come up that I used to respond to by smoking and now I don't even think about it until well afterward or when I see someone else do it- so for all newbies who might read this just know that it's true that it does get better as time goes on!!! See you soon in the penthouse!!
