It seems a long time ago since my last EVER cigarette. Every day I feel a little healthier, a lot happier and a bit richer. Thanks all who have provided kind and encouraging words. Every little helps a lot :-)

Congratulations on 3 weeks without cigs. It does seem like it’s so much longer than the actual calendar date, doesn’t it? I know it does for me too.

You are so right. It feels like something I did in the dim and distant past.

Reading and replying to these posts really makes me smile by the way; we have all done so well and together we are strong👏✊💪We've got this!

Thanks Hercu. I feel fitter, happier and healthier than I have for a long time. Far from helping with my problems, I've come to understand that smoking WAS the problem.

I'm so completely done with it ✊🚫👑

Congratulations on your determination!

Stand tall, stay busy, exercise and don't let the nicodemon control you.

I'm just over 4 months. Dreamed I smoked and woke up guilty just to realize it was a dream. Hoe funny.

Thanks👍 It's a mark of how far I've come when I can go to the pub, sit next to 2 smokers in the beer garden and find their habit completely unappealing and utterly peculiar. If I was in any doubt about whether I'd moved on, then my experience today completely seals it.

Thanks for remembering! It made today's 1 month milestone even better 😁

I'm feeling very proud of myself and I will definitely treat myself to a little something this weekend.

I can't begin to tell you how helpful and influential this site has been to me. It has been a rock and your support and that of all the fantastic people in this community has been decisive. Thank you Roisin, thank you everyone. I could not have achieved this without you 👏✊👍

Hi Roisin. 53 days and I'm still going strong. Had the odd grumpy/sad moment here and there but it's to be expected after so many years of habit. Roll on 2 months!
