Just that really, I'm officially 8 months free of those nasty cigarettes and nearly 4 months nicotine free (13 th May) Do I feel better, YES I do, despite having multiple chest infections since I quit, would I do it again, YES I would because even in those early days and weeks you realise just how much of a hold that nicotine has on you and personally I didn't want to be that way for the rest of my life. So, if you're reading this and thinking 'I wish that was me' (I did exactly the same thing when I first came on to the site!!) STOP wishing, make a plan to quit, set your date, stay close to the good folk on here and soon you'll be where I am now.Hugs and Happy Weekend to all. Helen x
p.s As ever my love and thanks to EmJay, Jillygirl, Pete, PinkieZoom, and all those who quit round about the same time as me, it's only because of you and a small sprinkling of will power that I'm where I am now.
