3 months today. Feeling good. When I think back over my quit it has been some journey. The early stages when there was a strong physical need for a cigarette. Then the feeling of total exhaustion and listlessness, where every minute seemed to last an hour, it was impossible to concentrate or do anything at work and all I wanted to do was sleep. Then the emotional side, being grumpy, needy, thin-skinned and generally an ass. Right now I am feeling pretty good. The up-sides definitely outweigh the downsides. Not smelling like an ashtray; not waking up with a foul taste in your mouth; not having a persistent tickly cough; not having to sneak off all of the time. All of those early symptoms seem to have gone or at least reduced to a level where I don't seem to notice them. I am feeling a real sense of achievement as well and since I have managed to sort out my sleep patterns, a real sense of energy. I am wary of the "Blahs" but really do feel in a good place at the moment. Used the new golf clubs that I bought with my savings for the first time yesterday as well. RoisinO1 bring on that badge I need something sparkly and shiny!
3Months!!!!!!!!!!: 3 months today. Feeling... - No Smoking Day

Huge congratulations FordyP - 3 months is amazing and you worked very hard to get here. But I had every faith in you from your very first post. You overcame the biggest test in our quits in the first 2 weeks of your quit, a holiday! That is remarkable. Well done and enjoy testing out the new golf clubs, you are up north this week?
With the site being problematic over the weekend, your 3 month badge is just gleaming I have shined it that much
Thanks RoisinO1 - yes up North next week. Hoping the weather holds out. It is a trip with a bunch of guys I was at school with. Last one of these trips we had I was smoking - will be glad to be making this one as a non-smoker (or is that an ex-smoker!)

Well done Fordy, proud of you. It’s good to see how settled you have become in your quit. Next week sounds like the perfect way to pay yourself back for three months of hard work.
I'm going to send you a list of local words and phrases that will help you seamlessly blend in.
I hope you all behave yourselves when you’re up here though. I don’t want you drinking all of our beer...stealing the towels from the hotel...or bothering the sheep. I’ll be asking my good friend Lord Percy, Duke of Northumberland to keep an eye on you from the ramparts of Bamburgh Castle.
Congratulations on 3 months and the new golf clubs.

It's is, without doubt, a moment in life, holding a massive banner, with a huge well done, and congratulations to you, It quite strange isn't it, when we finally realise, we have reached a certain goal, with that thought, it has a certain way of making us proud, and proud you should be.
Brilliant, reaping the rewards for all your determination, to be smoke free.
Fantastic

Congratulations! Definitely an accomplishment! I am on my third month as well and I couldn't agree more feeling proud.

Huge welcome Deeedavila7 and congratulations on 3 months, your badge is on its way! You have every right to feel proud. Perhaps give us an introductory post when you get a chance.
PS Can you give me your quit date for your future milestone badges....
