3 weeks and 2 days

I have managed to keep it together on a night out and when my boyfriend, who has cut down to two three a day, smokes. I have had some cravings but not many. They seem to happen when I get stressed or angry.

Nicole...Well done...You are doing extremely well !!

Congratulations on 3 weeks and 2 days! Awesome job and well done for managing a night out too - so many people have trouble with that bit, myself included. You will soon find the stress = cigarette response dies away, the more times you handle stress without resorting to smoking. It all about learning to live without our little crutch but it can be done. Well done.

Isn't it so wonderful , to be getting to your first month. A very well done to you.

Of course our minds at least for a moment, when we feel a little stress, or upset, revert back to that comfort of smoking, but fabulous news ahead for you, this will become less and less. But my golly gosh, your speeding along now, on those tram lines at great speed. Brilliant news indeed.

Looking forward to your future posts
