I have quit smoking, for gooood!

So today is my first smoking free day! I feel great, I had my last cigarette yesterday and took a vow that I would never take one again. I'm going to try and document my journey (forgive me if I forget) but yeah, for anyone out there struggling through the cravings (I haven't experienced them) ask yourself 'why do I want a cigarette' and 'what will this cigarette do for me?' Because you won't be able to answer anything but 'NOTHING' because they do nothing for you, remember that!

Hi Lauravm ,

Well done on the 1st day of your quit - I'm so glad that you chose not to become only a weekend smoker!

Keep strong and glad to hear your cravings have been ok - just be prepared as they can come out of nowhere...

I think I'm right in saying that you have quit for two months before so you know what to expect.

I quit for good 3 weeks ago tomorrow after 25 years of smoking and NO WAY do I want to go through these first few weeks again - I don't think I could!

Keep us updated with your progress and remember, someone is always here if you need extra support.

Take care,

Mel :)

Heya,

Congrats on your choice. I'm only 6 days ahead of you and I'm glad the cravings are going easy on you.

After 40 years of doing the wrong thing I decided to change, I have good moments I have bad moments, in the end the good will outweigh the bad. So all I can say is good for you and keep the prize in mind.

It always rather delightful when for what ever reason we decide to quit, , not least as we all know it's just not cool , not healthy, so fortoday just keep going

Great decision and welcome
