El Bandito

Great work Belle. I have to challenge you though. Why is one cigarette a day enjoyable? What is it specifically that you enjoy? For me, I thought it was that feeling of pure relaxation. The day is done, a glass of my favourite wine with a lovely cool smoke. Aaaaah. Thing is that after 7 days, my body has begun its journey back to normality. I light a cigarette and the cancerous choking smoke catches in my throat. The rancid stink flood my nostrils. My eyes involuntarily screw up against the poisonous smoke. S h i t ! Turns out that I only enjoyed the smoke when it was relieving a nicotine crave. The good news is that in a few weeks or maybe even sooner, your nose and tastebuds are going to start lighting up. You are going to taste the wine much more. You will be able to drink the best wine on the list because of the money you have saved, you will be able to sit in the swankiest chair in the hippest bar because you don't need to be outside choking yourself and you won't need to gulp it down because you NEED to get out for a smoke break. You my friend will be the most laid back person in the joint, full of self confidence because you quit, relaxed in the new you, savouring the excellent taste of a great wine unsullied by thousands of toxic chemicals. Welcome to freedom Belle! Great work. If you do get a chance, it can be really helpful to check in and briefly note how things are going. A post like yours above can really encourage someone about to put on their patch. I Look forward to celebrating one week tomorrow!

Hey JC. I don't know all your story, but good work on 5 days. Don't be worried. Be vigilant. Several people here quit, relapsed and the smoked for 10 years before they got around to quitting again. You can do yourself a lot of damage in 10 years

It's not going terribly well. I think the Liverpool fans are winning the singing. In every other department they are being outplayed. Time for a famous comeback as per Olympiakos....
