Morning Jilly :) monky and all

It's a beautiful day here, like you say Jilly, a bit nippy, but very sunny. Lovely clean air to breathe in deep. Soo glad not to be smoking. Oh, and just a quick throat update, it gets better and better ;) Reaching the higher singing notes now :o

It's just good to have things to measure the benefits of quitting by. Also getting up the hills with big breaths, no stops. And smelling those damp autumn leaves, the best scent ever. Definite sense of smell improved.

I hope everyone quitting is feeling proud of doing this, getting the smile for that, we sometimes forget how well we're doing, it can be tough, so stay strong! We're in it together here :)

Have a good smoke free day!

My quit date was July 9th. This weekend I have suddenly started to feel more like a non smoker rather than a smoker who is resisting temptation. Although I still have occasional cravings. Have felt a bit smug because my husband and I have both had bad colds, mine has gone but he has been left with a very bad cough. Trying hard not to say anything because I always said ex smokers were worse than non smokers at preaching to you. Thanks for everyone on the sites help and support.

BriarwoodAdministratorLONG TERM WINNER in reply to yorkiepam

Hi Yorkiepam, good to hear you're feeling more like a non smoker and you have recovered from your cold :)

What a lovely wife you are not saying anything to hubby about the reason for his cough, I take it he is still smoking :O

You are doing brilliant with your 3 month quit, well done Pam :)

Keep up the good work :) x

Aup Sue & John, you are doing amazingly well :) :) I'm sure it helps that the 2 of you are going it together :) Just loving that new Winners badge of your's, I think Jillygirl must have given it some more shine :) :)

Have you found that you are benefiting from your quit's :o

You are a female and a male quitting together, just wondered if you have any different feelings during your quit :o or are they about the same :o

Sue, John, I bow down and take my hat off to you both for going cold turkey :) :) I really do, stick with it and it will get easier for you :) :)

Pete :)
