Woo Hoo 1 Year Smoke-free

[bunnyrabbit]

Hello all

Well just done my first year. Has it been easy..... Not on your Nelly!!!! I have had one of the most horrendous years and still stayed smoke free. This is my first attempt to quit. I have wanted to for years and never thought I would have the will power. Just goes to show how wrong I was and wish I had tried sooner.

For those who are thinking about it, just try.....for those who have begun their battle....stay strong you can and are doing it.

Have a great day

Suexx

Hi Sue, it's lovely to meet you!

WOW AND MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS - That is absolutely amazing and I am so so HAPPY for you!

You must feel so so proud of yourself and quite rightly so - it's an amazing achievement.

Please please tell me, how do you feel after stopping smoking for all this time? Do you feel physically better? I love to know these things, it gives me inspiration to carry on!!!

I think we all need to do a Happy Dance for you this evening. Enjoy this very happy moment Sue, you absolutely deserve it xxxxx

Thanks Chrissie. I can actually take a deep breath and not cough and feel like I am getting a full lung full. The money is great as my partner and I are saving for a narrow boat which we will live and travel England on. I love the fact that my clothes, hair and house do not smell and have decorated throughout. It was tough in the beginning but it is so nice now. I still get the odd craving but will never have just one as I know that it never is. Thank you for my happy dance I shall be doing one too. xx

Oh Sue that sounds fantastic, I am so glad you are feeling so much fitter now and enjoying all the benefits of stopping smoking! I'm still in the "tough" zone at the moment, but when I hear such positive comments as yours, it really does motivate me to carry on, it's like "I want to feel like that" - but I know I just have to get through this stage to get to the next stage but at the end of it all it'll be fantastic!

I actually knew a couple a long time ago who had sold their house and were living on a narrow boat permanently. I was absolutely intrigued by this but they absolutely loved it. They still worked full time but they would toodle off for a weekend in it, or go a bit further when they had time off work, I really thought how lovely that sounded. It's a lovely dream.

Have a wonderful happy day and good luck with your dream, it sounds like it won't be long before it's a reality!

BunnySue! How lovely to hear from you. Congratulations on reaching your one year quit status

You've done really well and it's great to hear that you are still following your dream of narrow boat living. So, keep putting those pennies away

Hi Sue congratulations on your 1 year quit. Well done you. Coincidentally to you mentioning living on a narrow boat, I'm reading a book at the moment called Narrow Margins by Marie Browne. She tells the true story of how her and her husband bought a barge to live on after her husband lost his job at a car plant in Birmingham. It's a brilliant tale, really funny so I can thoroughly recommend it to give you a taster of life to come on your little boat on the canals and rivers of Britain. I hope your dream comes true because it sounds real fun.
