6 Weeks today

I can't believe how quick the past 6 weeks have gone, and how much better I feel. I have so much more energy and feel more alive than I have in years.

And I'm no longer tied to a smoking "regimen". I used to plan my day around smoking, (smoke before showering, don't smoke less than 1 hour before seeing clients of colleagues, always mints or gum after a cig, air out the car, smoke outside regardless of the weather...) All that to try to avoid reeking of cigs around other people, when I must still have stunk of them anyway.

It's so good to be free of all that! Onwards to week 7!

Congratulations taurean7 ...what a lovely post to read.

I hated smelling of cigs too. Never mind the savings I'm making on cigarettes - I think I'm saving a fortune on mints and chewing gum as well!

Thanks Nozmo. The nicest thing is my grandaughter says I smell "cuddly" now. And don't forget the savings on mouthwash, deodorisers and air freshners.

That was the final one for me as well when my granddaughter out off the blue gave me a hug with the words:"you smell nice gramps"
