Another Monday upon us already and we are heading very fast towards August!
For many of you, today may be your quit day, Monday always seems to be a popular choice. If it is, practise your breathing exercises and deal with each hour as it happens. Look at cravings as a positive sign of recovery and get excited about living a healthier smokefree lifestyle. Before you know it the morning will have passed
Well done to those of you who have already quit, another smokefree week under your belts, each day you will become stronger

Good morning all & have a great smoke free day ....
Just collected my Gold Medal (thanks Pete / Monky) to huge applause and now feel like a winner.
In my thank you speech I included "the massive help & support" from the HealthUnlocked - Quit Support team members / group etc. Also Google for answering "damage caused by smoking" - and all those shocking images - which could be any of us !!!!!!!!
A huge well done to you Jonathan Sail through this week, learn from anything you might struggle with and then you'll be ready to celebrate your 4th week
Got a little ahead of myself with Gold Medals & speeches etc .... now feeling very light headed and not able to concentrate ....... shit !! Never mind it will help me recoding this (I hope).
Jonathan, the best thing for you to do is to turn this feeling on it's head When you feel a bit scatty, a bit different or a bit topsy turvy, just remember that it is pretty (or not so pretty at times!) normal to be feeling like this. Funny that you talk about recoding; when you stop smoking your body / mind kind of learns that it needs to recode itself so that it can survive quite easily without the dreaded weed. Don't forget, your body will try and repair itself in as naturally a way as possible, maybe this is just one of the ways
JillyGirl, your last post came out twice so I've deleted one of them I've also reported the number of days issue on today's post - as well as reporting that we can't all post pictures! I feel much better now with my usual colour back in my cheeks too
I've just found today's chat so good afternoon everyone. I have to laugh at the muddle of it all.
Hi EmJay, I am doing my best. The main thing is that I continue to be a non smoker so I'm happy.
Hi Jilly, I'm having a lovely day, thanks. I'm off work at the moment so making the most of it and spending as much time as I can outside. Lovely to see you.
Well done Jonathan. It does get easier in time.
Message for Pete. I'm planting a big pot of herbs today. It's to inspire my cooking. Thanks for all the info about modern drills. I see what my son means now...lol.
Hi Sally, great to see you found the chat. It is all still a bit muddly, but I'm sure we're getting there! Apparently due to the number of members (across all the different HealthUnlocked communities), the old version would eventually stop working - that's not the technical term, obviously!
I planted some herbs a couple of weeks ago and had to re-pot them yesterday, so make sure you don't 'overpack' the pot
Good evening jilly, hope you are well. Turned out hot again I went on a bike ride this evening and nearly melted, it was still 25 degrees at 7.00pm. Came home absolutely roasted like a chicken.
I was soooo glad I wasn't at work today, I can't imagine what it was like on News24 (we have that on the TV in reception all day Yes congratulations to Kate and William but...... as usual the news try to wring every little minute detail out of it when there's nothing more to say really. So no, I watched the first 10 minutes of the news at 9.00 but then could take no more as I was feeling distinctly nauseous especially when Dave put in an appearance. Happy birthday to your daughter
