Well done all of you. I'm really impressed. I thought of you all today as I drove through my local town. Outside the bar stood a small very very cold group of smokers. No longer will that have to be you. Ever again.

Wow, yes, DAY 6. I won't say it's easy or getting easier yet

Well done you
apparently a new habit takes 3 weeks to form and become ... well, a habit.

Apologies for being absent over the last couple of days, had a bad day on sunday due to big un (eldest son) and lapsed had 6 ciggies, felt too guilty to log on, only had 2 yesterday and might have one before i go to bed but might not as i haven't had one today. Well done all of you, you all put me to shame but not going to stop trying, i thought a habit took 2 months before it became a subconsciouse habit rather than a consciouse one. 3 weeks sounds much better so i will stick to that.

[MaureenHall]

Right then Furball, stop beating yourself up about a bit of a hiccup! Good on you for admitting it and for not saying you're a failure, cuz you're not. Tomorrow's another day so stop again then. Have your ciggie tonight if you REALLY want it, or save it for a couple of months, then throw it away cuz it'll be all dried up and even more yukky then

Good luck hon xxx

Noticed on monday morning my throat hurt like mad, my sinuses have never bothered me before but after the dreaded flu a month before christmas they always seemed blocked up. They had started clearing up when i stopped smoking and they felt stuffy again on monday as well. I will beat this thing, have done it before and stopped for 2and a half years god knows why i started again. So i know i can do it.

don't feel bad for a little slip, the trick is to keep trying to give up, 5 is better than ten, 1 is better than 5, and 24 without one at all is a real achievement.

one day at a time hun.

[furball]

Thankyou i will stick with it, day 7 bring it on. One day at a time, i will get there. going to go to bed now with a book as i smoke outside no temptation there.

[firstimer1]

hey if i take up another habit i hope it is sex lol x

[Jenny22Cumbria]

Well done to everyone who's given up!!! I don't smoke myself but I have NO willpower so I'm in awe of anyone who can give up something that induces a physical craving!

You're doing really well - in fact you've inspired me to get fit (something I've been putting off for ages)

Thank you!
