Hey Martin, that long road you can see ahead is a lovely long healthy road Enjoy the journey, it may be a bit bumpy at the beginning, but only whilst you get to grips with it. Who knows, it may be different from the last journey

We believe in you

poetry helps;

A cat as black

As blackest coal

Is out upon

His midnight stroll,

His steps are soft,

His walk is slow,

His eyes are gold,

They flash and glow.

And so I run

And so I duck,

I do not need

His black-cat luck.

Cats dont smoke

I've got a sore clogged up throat I'm worrying about, wish I had stopped before my stupid throat felt like this!! Just think Maddy, if you hang in there, you can stop before the health problems start.....it is harder to stop before you feel side effects, so you are doing the right thing not postponing it....

Hi Maddy123, two days is a great achievement, it can be tough as your body wants you to carry on sticking all those killer toxins in your body... . but stick with it your doing really well

I'm sitting here munching on raisins and nuts.... I know there fattening but its got to be better than the alternative!

Keep us posted on how your doing, Julie

Continue your smoke-free life. One of the pitfalls that ex-smokers face is thinking that they can "just have one." Remember that even one cigarette will negatively affect your lungs and that there's a good chance you'll take up smoking again if you smoke that one. Focus on the fact that your lungs are functioning better than they were when you were a smoker.

Hey, I'm no stronger than you, I'm trying to follow this too....
