Last time I posted was 4 months ago - I am now just over a year smoke free which I sometimes struggle to believe after a 30 year habit
378 days smoke free
£3969 not spent on cigarettes
11341 cigarettes I have not smoked
I still miss the odd cigarette - I don't miss the smell or paying out so much money on them.
Would I ever smoke again?? No absolutely not
Happy Monday Happy smoke free Happy and healthy

Wise words Runmeg....I belief we will always miss that old ciggie but the moment you smell a smoker you can not belief that we smelled like that and then I am so glad I stopped...!
Congrats on your over a year quit !!
It's the smell or should I say that stale smell of cigarettes - hubby still smokes ( outside rain or shine ) and if I am stood next to him it doesn't bother me however if he appears next to me after having a cigarette he smells bloody awful, I describe it as going to my mums uncles house when I was a small child and there was a stale smell that lingered - very 1970's is the only way I can describe the smell.
Well done!
I can't wait to be where you are... but I am on my way and I WILL get there - my new car depends on it ha ha!

Congratulations runmeg! Celebrations are in order I think.
Very pleased for you.
Ah Runmeg, delighted to read an update from you, would you believe just before I logged on, I was going through the milestone badges for today and your name popped out to me and wondered to myself how you were getting on 1 year smoke free! 
Well done, it has been great sharing our journeys together and got some wonderful advice from you. Keep in touch with us 
What a mist fantastic post, a huge success story, my little black book, is open on your page, saying, job done and dusted.
A huge well done
Thanks - I go back to what I have said before - this site in the early days motivated me, I would come home from work and log on to keep my focus going; everyone is amazed at what I have done, I loved my cigarettes and could not imagine life without them - however after a year I know that just one cigarette would drag me back to 30 a day and I never want to go back to been controlled like I was by a cigarette
For everyone who is finding it tough, cry, scream, shout, it will ease over time and the payback is massive
Hi runmeg, really pleased you did it and hope you still ok x
Hey AnnMarie74 , great to hear from you, hope you are keeping well? - nearly into your 3 years quit, 2 years for me in September!
