Good luck and stay focused you can do it.

Soph do you know there are apps you can download which count up the money for you? It's an amazing reminder. For iPad/iPhone the best one is My Last cigarette, and for android the best one is Stop Smoking Light

Mine is being able to smell things properly for the first time in absolutely years.It's just brilliant to smell things like they should smell rather than a,watered down version.Happy Friday all.H x

Hi Jilly and everyone

Mine is my skin currently. I have always thought I had good skin but since stopping the colour has become more even and the lines that had formed around my mouth have faded a lot. The dark rings under my eyes have lessened too.

What's really nice is the compliments I have had... Not bad at 57!

Thanks Jilly for your kind words

My favourite thing about not smoking is that I don't have to go out into my back garden which is surrounded by trees and has no light. I never really could enjoy night time smoking because I was too jumpy and thought I was going to be attacked and murdered at any second (yet I still viewed smoking as more important than my safety)

Ellie I was just the same. How addicted we can get. So lovely not to worry now. You can do it. :) :)

Mouth feels cleaner, breath is fresher, sense of smell is more acute. Just the freedom of not having to buy the damn things, and of course, more money in my wallet. Also, the fact that my dogs are the only ones puffing these days when we come back from our walk, must be a plus & not "having" to stand outside during a thunderstorm is good too. I can hardly believe that I ever thought that was actually reasonable behaviour .....

Have a good day everyone x

Hear hear :)

Favorite thing about not smoking ?

Early days yet, but got my car valeted yesterday to get rid of smell. That feels good.

I'd got used to smelling like a smoker. Once I'd stopped it began to notice it more and more.
