I always hated that exhausted feeling, your body was always sluggish and tired, knew it was down to smoking but always denied it, now yes I still get tired, but its a good tired if you know what I mean, a day spent having fun with my son, a day spent doing the housework, a couple of hours exercising, no more sluggish feelings and that heavy limbed sensation after smoking. Jeeeshh how dumb we were xx

Tiff don't think about it, just go and enjoy the evening with your friends, relax and have fun, if you allow the junkie thinking to take over your head it will have room to grow, don't give it a chance, you are a non smoker and you will not smoke, simples, enjoy your evening Tiff xx

hi and welcome on board the quit train, 5 weeks plus is a fantastic and yip education is the key, re-educating our brains is the way forward, learning to recognise the junkie thinking and acting upon it, for some the journey is a smooth path for a lot of us the journey is full of pit holes and twists and turns but the important thing is we all reach the destination we want and that is our sticky quit. Looking forward to sharing your journey xx

Susana fabidabulous hardest part is over keep climbing you got this well done xx

DD you have been such an inspiration to me, thanks and well done on reaching 7 yes that 7 whoo hooo big hugs back xx

Excellent Ron you are doing brilliantly xx

Had a fabulous day at Glasgow Green, soaking up the wonderful atmosphere of the Commenwealth Games, actually stood and participated in a Commenwealth event, Time Trials, I stood there clapping had no idea what I was clapping for but hey I was clapping. Went into a healthier living tent and saw a SMOKERS LUNG , now if you were thinking about quitting or struggling with your quit, seeing a smokers lung beside a healthy lung would make you realise that stopping smoking was a very very very good thing, did you know after quitting smoking every minute you are a non smoker helps your lungs to heal back to full capacity. Everyone there congratulated me on my quit (I think I actually puffed my chest up at this point) I am proud and so glad that today I am a non smoker. It felt amazing and fantastic to be able to say Yes I quit, and I will never be a smoker again.

NOPE today I'm off to compete against Bolt at the Commenwealth whose with me!

Gem so made up for you, 11 months is fabidoo not long till you reach the golden number and a rightful place up on the lido deck xx

Aww Susana so pleased today was good for you, it makes it so much better when you smell a smoker and think puewwwww I used to smell like that but guess what I don't any more, the actual smell of nicotine in the early days used to make me gag and crave both at the same time, weird eh , but I can sit with smokers now and it doesn't bother me, 20 days is absolutely awesome you are doing great, believe me when I say it just gets better and better, this non smoking life sure does rock xx

Dang it late to the party AGAIN but I NOPED all day xxs

Hi Delta great to see you would love a chat room party,xx

If in doubt ask MQ he was a real help to me when I couldn't get tickers to work, xx

I test myself, its crazy I don't have craves anymore I just allow the thought to enter my head and think what if, playing with fire I know, but I can't stop myself, it only lingers for a second or two but still there, and sometimes get that Whoa feeling in the pit of my stomach as though something major is missing from my life, but hey I don't smoke xx

My son loves Minecraft too, desperately waiting for it to come out on X Box 1, but still plays it on his x box, we have t shirts, key rings, the creeper too DD lol, I would love to know how to make the Loom bands in Minecraft as he is daft on that at the minute as well, his wee pal came over yesterday and made a snake, a turtle, mine had a shot at making the snake and the loom board ended up being thrown across the room ha ha , xx

Ohh first here what a change for me whose with me today NOPE just for today xx

Your Lairdness am ever so stu-pendously (see what I did there lol) happy for you, you make me laff, we quit more or less at the same time and I have loved sharing every part of your journey with you, well done. now swing yer skirt xx

fantastic Sue, your doing absolutely fantastic, 10 months xx

Aha just what a need for a good whinge, I have been trying and trying to post my pod and Loch Lomond pictures on here like fureva and trying to put funnies on too, but alas to no avail I just can't get them to copy paste or however it works I can't do it, I also have lost the ability to quote from a former post, i'm a failure, I should be in the compost heap of life, I am just computer illiterate. After a good 3 hours (not kidding you) I managed to change my avatar picture, how I don't know, just pure luck by pressing all the buttons on my laptop, think that Is why my son and I are of midget proportion, we are rather small in real life too. Replies to inbox would be good any help much appreciated, please don't overwhelm me on this post as my poor brain would not be able to take it all in. I want a BOOM in your face avatar!!! xx

loving the house Ross, you can come and decorate mine anytime xx

you all sure do "crack" me up xx

Whoo Hoo Lace 5 months is just awesome well done xx

Fantastic news, stay close by, reading posts here on the board really helps, try and stay focused on why you are quitting, and if and when a crave hits, breath through it, NOPE is the way to go, second by second if needed xx
