Day 39 n feeling positive I still have the odd craving but they don't last long. My memory has gone completely though since I stopped. Anyone else like this? Or is it old age. I'm 44!!!

I've just remember what I was going to say. My doctor (ex smoker himself). Said it takes on average 5 attempts to quit. I'm on attempt 3 and it's going to be my last. I can do this. X

Hi ya Kaz :)

Tooooo flippin rite gal, you can do this :) :) You are well on your way at 39 days quit :) but you have to keep positive !! I think thats one of the main hurdles when quitting, you have to keep positive about your quit :)

I'm 57 now, erm, erm, what was that question you asked ?? I only have one brain cell now, and well, thats on a good day :o :D :D

You take care now Kaz, your doing just fine gal :)

See ya later, Pete :)

Kazdon22, Well done 39 days is sooooo good, keep going. Erm old age or giving up nasty nic, bit of both I think, but yes my brain feels a little scrambled at times as concentration is not so good when not smoking. My longest quit was 6 months and my old brain did seem to pull itself together towards the end of the six months. I am on week 5 (I think} of my new attempt and am writing everything down that I need to remember including jobs round the house (which I ignore anyway!!) Good luck

I think then that I'm at last chance saloon as I think this is quit attempt 4 or 5 for me.

In answer to your question, yep,my memory has been worse since I quit,I'm 54.I find I have to write more stuff down so I remember to do it!!Possibly a touch of middle age creeping in as well.

Well done on the fantastic 39 days, be very proud of how far you've come.
