Hi everyone, ive done a whole week, no cigs & no real cravings.

Struggling a bit with anxiety as still trying to get copd/asthma under control & selling my house.

Determined to get my life on track & stay smoke-free 🤗

Have a great day

Huge congrats Vee 🎉👏

It’s a great feeling to have your first smoke free week in the bag, well done👍 Lots to be proud of, hope you’ve had a great day🚭✅💕😘

Well how good are you - anyway it's not just one week, it's a huge 7 seven days - my wife is into her tenth day and is also doing well. My job is to keep the wealth of benefits of non smoking come to the pore: - here are but a few: -

Look at the health improvements you can expect within the first year:

• 20 minutes after quitting: Your blood pressure and heart rate will drop.

• 12 hours after quitting: The carbon monoxide level in your blood will return to normal.

• 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting: Your circulation and lung function will improve.

• 1 to 9 months after quitting: You’ll cough less and you’ll have less shortness of breath. Your lungs will be more able to handle mucus, clean themselves, and reduce your risk of infection.

• 1 year after quitting: Your excess risk of heart disease will be half that of a smoker.

And the benefits don’t stop there! Within several years your stroke and heart disease risk can equal that of a non-smoker’s and your risk of cancer will be dramatically reduced as well. You’ll also see immediate benefits in your everyday life:

• Your breath will smell better.

• Your teeth will get whiter.

• Your clothes and hair will stop smelling of cigarette smoke.

• Your yellow fingers and fingernails will disappear.

• Your senses of smell and taste will improve.

• Everyday activities – like climbing stairs or doing light housework – won’t leave you out of breath.

• You’ll save money! Smoking is expensive. When you stop buying cigarettes, the payoff is big.

The big no no is to get caught in the what do I do with my hands - go on line, look for anything, just move those fingers and it will pass. Make sure you record your daily savings and when one month has passed - buy something - just for yourself as a big present. Best not to go for a meal just yet!

You have done so well, keep going, you will reap so many benefits all of them good
